Its strange how a football club that is doing so well in the Premier League this season can be on the brink of elimination in the group stages of the Champions League. Having beaten Manchester United 6-1 and stringing up 11 wins in 12 games, it is only natural to assume that Manchester City would get past the first stage of the Champions League but it seems that such assumptions cannot be made. City are no longer the masters of their fate as if Napoli wins against Villareal, City are heading home even if they beat Bayern (which at the moment is highly unlikely).
Another very puzzling factor is that Man City have in their ranks a reasonably experienced Champions League side and it seems as if their struggle is because they are not gelling well enough. This deepens the quandary with Manchester City as even with a superstar roster, they are still not good enough. We will have to wait and see whether City continue in the Champions League but while a match with City can produce a very interesting encounter, I am sure that I will see a smug look on all the Chelsea, Arsenal and United fans faces if City are knocked out.
