He has improved City so much I have no idea why you would even say that to be honest.
They were a couple of razor fine decisions from going through tonight, and its not really Pep's fault.

Pellegrini got to SF with City years ago


Once again, if you only judge teams on their CHampions League results you will have a very warped view on which teams are good.

Pellegrini has the same amount of trophies in home soil that Guardiola has, ok Guardiola won a Community Shield (?)

And same time frame if I'm not wrong 🤔

even if it's not reflected in CL trophies (a miserable metric due to how much coincidences influence games between top teams and CL format is a knockout format between top teams), City has clearly improved a fantastic amount since pep became manager.

3 seasons before pep chronologically:
win, 86 points, second 79 points, fourth 66 points
3 seasons with pep chronologically:
third, 78 points, first 100 points (5 points better than previous PL record, best team of the premier league era), and then this season they are en route to another 95+ point season..

While the CL is arguably more prestigious, I strongly maintain that league performance is a more important metric when evaluating how good a team is, and he's given them a 15 point per season boost. And if you watch them play multiple league games, the improvement is self-evident. City's top level and consistency are both fantastic. But, other top teams are also very good..

Come on, Pep told Laporte to suck and he also told the ref last season to give 2 50/50 offside decisions without VAR to Pool and then rob City of another goal :p

That VAR offside call is so freaking harsh.
Ajax vs Spurs. I would love to know the odds on that one before the CL season started.

But now a serious question: does anyone know why Pep refused to play one of City's best players this season, Sane?

and theres a team that has 3 CL trophies back to back and nobody thought they were that good then or now. Knockout football is weird. Which is why I guess its so much fun.

Because Sterling and, Silva, Bernado Silva have all been in amazing form week in, week out. Sane is hot/cold.

To be fair All of those 3 were insane today. So while I am a massive Sane fan, I cant really fault the picks.

Its not like they didnt score enough goals. Atleast today anyway.

Considering City scored 4 goals that were given by the ref I don't think that Sane missing was their problem, it was conceding dumb goals.

Scoring 4 goals in a CL quarter final against a good team is pretty great in my opinion.
