What are the odds City cruise past Real and lose 1-0 to Inter in the final?

De Bruyne looks like he could really do with a rest.

Absolutely outstanding tonight.

A word for their unsung hero. Akanji must be the VFM signing of the season. Rarely puts a foot wrong, at £20m or thereabouts a fantastic addition to their squad.

Kyle Walker fantastic too. Underrated in my opinion. Had Mbappe in his pocket in the WC too.

Yeh, I was also thinking how underrated Rodri is. I know a lot of people hate City because they dared spend lots of money, but I don't think they've got a single unlikeable player in the squad.

Doesn’t matter regardless, £20 million is loose change for them

For as electric as City were, Madrid were woeful. City’s press squeezed so high up the park yet Madrid seemed intent on trying to play their way through it, when it evidently wasn’t working. You’d think they’d learn their lesson at the 25th time of losing it trying ridiculous passes out of their defence but to the last minute of the game (and even City’s fourth goal) they kept trying

Fine, smashing it up the park isn’t pretty but needs must sometimes, especially against a City side in that form

Walker absolutely outstanding. Does not get the recognition he deserves. That piece of defending in the first half where he got back ahead of Vin... to prevent a near on goal typifies his performance.

Grealish, he is on another level. Brilliant season for him.

I mentioned Akanji in conversation last night and someone else immediately brought up Walker as the other unsung hero.

I thought he had been making too many unforced errors the last couple of seasons and would be on his way but he has been bang on it again this year. Still so bloody quick as well.

And why would you not use Vini Jr's pace on the counter? He's electric

Agreed. Brilliant team.

I do wonder, and as said elsewhere there's not anything to dislike about the individuals players, what context though this will all be seen in if/when the book is thrown at the club for financial doping.
