what I don't really liked was thar the OG came from the keeper , they made it looked as I'd he didn't do it well, I wished it cam from one of the players but what can I say

, it's just a game

I watched the highlights and it is really unfortunate because the keeper made some decent saves before. That's just the reality of football nowadays, people only remember the terrible mistake that you make instead of your 100 good saves. Then again you can't go far in the UCL if you make one or two mistakes, especially against big teams where you don't have many chances to score goals.

I think they just need to take this lesson and plan better for the next matches. They still have a decent chance to go through, it's only 1 game.

I just watched Pep’s post match interview and he says he’s so happy with the team’s performance today. As a fan who wanted to see some action from both sides I do not share the same sentiment with Pep Guardiola. A draw was unexpected but I doubt anyone predicted that Manchester City would not be able to get a goal from this game. I can’t imagine how many people have lost their bets on this game. I’m looking forward to City’s game against Arsenal in the weekend. Hope it meets the expectations of what a big clash should be.

Losing points in the first meeting and they had the opportunity to play it at home was a disappointment that was seen from Pep's gesture but he turned it all around with his words, it was a mental protection for his players who this weekend will play a difficult match, but talking about the City vs Inter match which ended in a goalless draw it is undeniable that this match is a big match because Inter were also a fantastic team last season and they have been able to do it until now, it is not easy to beat them and Man City have tried with the game they are leading but last night it did not produce results.
Surely this match has many failures with bets ending in a winless draw for City, but I think for the next match Man City against Arsenal at home and they have good odds I think I will go back there with this failed bet.

Here, I also saw how Girona withstood all the brutal PSG attacks, and even though this was very new for them, they did it quite well, it's just that, unfortunately, they did a mistake of that OG.

Well I wouldn't say its really a own goal ( but yes it's a own goal Grin

) the goal was meant to score though it his destiny Cheesy

mended sent It really hard, it's just that it had to go through the keeper to that...
I was really expecting a goal to come out with the way PSG pressed Girona, all they could do was defend over and over,alot of shots from PSG though most were of target but the press was so much , what I don't really liked was thar the OG came from the keeper , they made it looked as I'd he didn't do it well, I wished it cam from one of the players but what can I say

, it's just a game

Yeah it can't be denied that when a team can't win at home then there should be disappointment it's just that Pep Guardiola doesn't want to say it and I'm sure he has his reasons, but yeah this doesn't really have an impact on Manchester City because it's not a deciding match and they can get points in the next match. This is the first match right? while 7 other matches are waiting ahead. Of the 7 matches, only one match was a bit difficult, against Juventus.

In another match Dortmund managed to win the match even though previously I thought Dortmund would have a bit of difficulty but I was wrong they could win easily even though they were playing away. The challenge for Dortmund is in the next matches as giant teams await them Celtic, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg and Barcelona this is a match that is considered difficult from the remaining 7 matches so Dortmund is a bit doubtful of qualifying unless there is a miracle there.

Manchester City inability to get a goal in tonight's Champions League fixture against Inter Milan is a proof that Champions League is quite different from the local leagues. With the fantastic display of Manchester City in the English Premier League, who would have believed that they will play 90 minutes without getting a goal in the Champions League. This is a sign that the season is not over yet, many things could change in the middle of the season both in the Champions League and the respective local leagues in Europe.

Before we draw our conclusions, let us see what Manchester City will be able to do against Arsenal. After then I will watch the post match interview of Pep Guardiola and see if he will also be ok with his boys performance.

When there are no goals in a match it's boring... Moreover, some bettors were expecting a lot of goals from both teams but in reality they still managed to keep a clean sheet.

There have been a lot of goal opportunities created that still could not be converted into goals, actually seeing this opportunity we are also happy because it is tense, it's just that ending without a goal feels a little different.

Let's just say that both teams are equally strong from both different leagues.

Some games that ended 0-0 are more interesting than yesterday's 9-2, but unfortunately not today's game between City and Inter. The game was about as expected from an 8-game group stage: the teams did not try too hard to score, playing cautiously. The fact that City played by controlling the ball and Inter on the counter-attack was expected, and in fact City had 3 dangerous moments and Inter 2. A semi-friendly game.

Yesterday's match that ended 9-2 was too much... The scorers don't celebrate anymore. Grin

It's not strange that Manchester City always have the ball at home or any match but this UCL match is more difficult for them.

I saw Inter Milan's game didn't decline they gave some deadly counterattacks, still it was saved by their goalkeeper.

Judging from the Formation match used by Inter Milan alone that they played to defend more, Inzaghi realized that Man City's midfielders were very dangerous, therefore making a two-layer defense here so that Man City strikers did not have many passes from their midfielders, seen from the chance of a shot towards the Inter Milan goal alone, it is certain that it is difficult for Guardiola and Inzhagi succeed in blunting Manchester City even though in the end they also could not score a goal too, but it is better for Inter Milan than losing, and most importantly here the two goalkeepers from Inter Milan and Man City did their best, they blocked every ball that came to their goal.

A common tradition of how Inter Milan plays especially when facing a strong offensive team though Man City will still be disappointed they couldn't get a win here even how hard they tried Inter Milan defense was still able to hold them, though I think when they're going to play Inter Milan away next time Pep would have come up with a way to neutralize their defense system and be victorious not settling for another less here, this is among the main reason he is among the best in the World

Surely many people were disappointed in this match, especially the gamblers who bet on one of the teams in this match, and what made people even more suit to accept the results of this match was because this match was held on Man City's field, which should have allowed Man City to be much more free to attack to conquer their opponents, unfortunately they could not get more opportunities and instead were balanced with Inter Milan's defensive formation which made the results of this match without any goals from both of them, maybe for other teams Man City could conquer, it's just that this is a match of winning prestige between Serie A and the English Premier League. Grin

I'm disappointed with this match because I myself bet for Manchester City, I never realized this game would make such a difference. However, the Inter team performed so well that it is incomparable, because this Italian club did not give any chance to the Manchester City team. The defenders performed so well defensively that the attacking department of the Manchester City team could not do any damage.
Although the attacks were easily saved by the goalkeeper, the Inter team's performance should only be credited to the defenders. Manchester City made a total of 22 attacks that were easily defended by the defenders, and the opposite side Inter made 13 attacks. Although I lost this bet, I thank the defenders and goalkeepers of the Inter team, they performed well enough for their side.

The both teams weren’t bad if you ask me it was just the way the game was supposed to be, no matter how good Manchester City have been this years they still hold inter Milan very high and they do not play against same way they do to other low level clubs. This game was just a replica of what was played in the last meeting between the two clubs which was the final, Manchester city were all out on attack against a composed and well structured or defensive sided Inter Milan. Many of us will be disappointed with Manchester city but had they come out to play their usual football this inter Milan will have exploited the chances they usually leave behind, if you watch the way the chance which Mateo Darmian missed was created you will understand why city are usually careful against this kind of teams.

PSG did impressively well today, I was really happy for them, although it was just a goal victory but it was worth everything for them just when most people didn't really get to believe in how much they can achieve in the champions League

I know that a win is a win, it will not change, and will still get full 3 points. And PSG has got it, the 3 points of victory. but if you say impressive, it seems less. Because, the only goal that happened was OG. Whereas before, no matter how much PSG did attacks, even as many as 25 shots, none of them went in. This is really unfortunate. PSG dominated everything, but unfortunately they didn't score a single goal and wasted many opportunities. But fortunately, Girona made a mistake with the presence of OG.

and here is part of Luis Enrique interview after the match:

Quote

"I think we were superior, but Girona played us in circles and made us dizzy. At halftime, we said that if we didn't press, we were going to suffer. We had to win, and it was very difficult," Luis Enrique told Movistar Plus.
"It was very difficult. I told (Girona manager) Michel that this was worse than giving birth, with all due respect."

Here, I also saw how Girona withstood all the brutal PSG attacks, and even though this was very new for them, they did it quite well, it's just that, unfortunately, they did a mistake of that OG.

I have to congratulate Juventus who proved to be a really strong team and with a team that isn't as bad as PSV who played a good match, so this gives Juventus the chance to establish itself among the big names in the Italian championship and above all in European football proving that she is back, yildiz scored a magnificent goal

Kenan Yıldız made a great start to his Champions League career with a fantastic goal. I watched his interview with Del Piero after the match. Del Piero congratulated Kenan for breaking his own record. Kenan told Del Piero that he was sorry for breaking his record. Del Piero asked him how he felt when he scored the goal. Kenan thanked Cambiaso for his run for creating open space. He had very humble answers...

I was not pleased with PSG performance today because when it comes to their domestic league, they dominate and have no rival but in UCL it is a different thing. I couldn't believe that PSG had to struggle till the 90th minutes of the game before they managed to score one goal which was due to luck because Gitona goalkeeper almoat saved the ball before it slipped passsd in between in two legs into the back of the post. Firona performance is poor thos season and PSG could not take advantage of tgeor weakness to score good number of goals.

When clubs play against their opponents in the Champions League match, you don't expect it to be an easy win because those teams they are to play against are the best-performing teams in their leagues. Although the best team will be lucky to win.

Don't you know that PSG can have a fantastic performance in their league, Girona having a poor performance, both teams meeting each other in the Champion league, their match becomes difficult for the other club that performs better to win. PSG will find themselves lucky that they later made away with the 3 points of the match because that counts. It gives them little advantage in their next meeting.

We watched some good matches tonight.
I think the M.City - Inter match was quite enjoyable, it was a match with lots of chances but no one scored. We have been watching some good matches for two days.

Is Inter's goalkeeper Yann Somme short? He seems short for a goalkeeper.

How could you expect as many goals as four in a game like this? You and I know that both Manchester city and Inter Milan are very solid team in their respective local league and Inter Milan always play their best game against top teams. I as well expected Manchester city to win with at least a goal to nil but I have no second thought about under 2.5 goals because I know how Inter Milan defense is.

Last season, Inter had by far the best defence in the Serie A. They've lost only 22 goals in 38 matches (2nd AC Milan lost 49 goals). But with games at this level anything is possible. If either team managed to score an early one, we could have a completely different game.
I think either team is satisfied with a draw tonight. On paper, this was the most difficult game in the group stage for both teams.

It doesn't look like City are satisfied with the draw result because it's really doesn't commensurate with their hardwork in the entire regular time. And importantly they needed the full three points since they were playing at home so when they go away to Italy they could stand tall for a draw. In essence this draw only stands in favour of inter Milan for now as an away team tonight. Inter are known to be stronger playing at their own so it's going to be a much bigger task for Manchester City in the second leg for them to get a victory at San siro.

Just for the sidelines, yesterday games produced a total of 28 goals while today's was just a total of 13 goals, a very wide gap in my opinion.

we've seen 11 goals, something that doesn't happen very often.
But even excluding Bayern's game, the average goals per match was 3.4 yesterday as compared to 2.17 today, so still a notable difference.

Yea 11 goals in that Bayern Munich vs D. Zagreb game, though not the most goals in a champions league match. Brussia Dortmund : Legia Warszawa game In the 2016 UCL holds the honours with 12 goals in a 8:4 result.

Poor game from Manchester City, yes Inter defended very deep, but there was no intensity from City and they didn't create enough chances to trouble Inter's defense nor their goalkeeper, Sommer. Inter even looked the more threatening whenever they caught City on the break, there is much work to be done for Pep's men, this new CL league format is unforgiving, too many slip ups and you'll find yourself struggling to make the top 8.

Today's game wasn't actually that bad just that in short Shakter and Mancity ruined the fun, I wasn't expecting a goaless drop from mancit though but they both played well , i was actually expecting a one to one draw but it's all game.

PSG on the other hand could have been a goaless draw Tongue

too though Girona played alot of defensive game today, 89' was a crucial moment Cheesy

and it was actually an Home goal at the same time(the keeper tried his best)

It's totally a boring champions league day in all the matches playing tonight across Europe cause up till 60 munites played and it's just 4 goal from the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava game where we had never expected much goals to be coming from tonight in all the games unlike yesterday games that registered many goals right from the first half in all the different games.source.

Talking about Inter Milan respecting Manchester City in that game it's really something not surprising when you look at inter Milan formation 3-5-2 that's a defensive formation which leaves them to sit back absorb pressure contrast to Manchester City that are playing with an attacking formation. Am just not sure how long they continue sitting behind to hold Manchester City from scoring tonight.

It's really a boring UCL night, so crazy boring

In the first half everything felt a little boring. But initially I thought in the second half everything would change and make the match even more exciting. But it seems like the match is still going on just as fiercely. And only the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava match doesn't seem boring. Because currently their match has even produced 5 goals. Because the current score for the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava match is 4-1. Which means there have been 5 goals from that match. Meanwhile, the other matches were all still with the same score as in the first half, namely 0-0. but for the Man City vs Inter Milan match, even though there were no goals, in the second half it seemed like the tempo of their game was faster and it became a little more exciting.

Well, towards the end of the game's there were pockets of changes as goals started coming changing the results as it were previously. In Paris it was a lone goal in favour of the home team PSG while Club Brugge conceded 3 goals to their visitors Brussia Dortmund. Meanwhile in England the status quo was maintained as Inter Milan successful denied their host Manchester City from getting any goal ending in a barren 0:0 draw. Celtic extended their goals campaign to 5:1.

Just for the sidelines, yesterday games produced a total of 28 goals while today's was just a total of 13 goals, a very wide gap in my opinion.

I was not pleased with PSG performance today because when it comes to their domestic league, they dominate and have no rival but in UCL it is a different thing.

PSG tried a bit, but base on this performance they can't be situated in a better position in this season Champions League if they fail to increase their potentials by being a lot clinical and score goals. PSG had a lot of shot and merely a few on targets, not a good start for a club that has their eyes on the title. If we look very well, we can attest actually that now teams are getting stronger, especially those with Champions league experience. Much can be expected, since it is a struggle for becoming Champions, all teams will strive to maintain a good responsiveness in their style of play just to avoid being kicked too early.

The most notable match of the day was Manchester City and Inter in the Champions League stages. What was more notable was that Manchester City could not score a single goal. I was expecting a match like this to end with both teams scoring or maybe over. It was not very enjoyable to watch either as the match ended in a draw and there were no goals scored by either team.

When there are no goals in a match it's boring... Moreover, some bettors were expecting a lot of goals from both teams but in reality they still managed to keep a clean sheet.
