In the sky blue lair of the Etihad Stadium last Wednesday, Manchester City and Bayern Munich had not experienced the same evening in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League. If the Skyblues had offered themselves a major success for the rest of their European course, the Rottens, in addition to the sporting rout, had to manage an altercation between two of their players, Leroy Sané and Sadio Mané, in the locker room. The second was also sanctioned with a suspension match, served this weekend, and a fine estimated at 500,000 euros by the German press.

And before receiving the reigning English champion for the second round, the Bundesliga leader was held in check by the thirteenth in the championship, Hoffenheim, in the league (1-1). Not the best of preparations for Thomas Tuchel’s men, winning just two of their last five matches in all competitions. We are far from the dynamics proposed by the Mancunians, quiet winners of Leicester to extend their incredible series of rank victories to 10 (37 goals scored, 4 conceded), perfect for gaining a little more confidence before the trip to Bavaria.
