    That's quite a surprise they went out. I know Monaco are good but with a two goal lead you'd expect City to set up so they were both safe and could attack at the same time. It looked like they went for a more attack minded team from the off which left them weak at the back. Monaco totally outplayed them.

    The second half City were better but I don't know if they had the hunger. The set piece from Monaco was a killer. Really shouldn't be allowing goals like that.

    City also wasted a couple of decent chances near the end. De Bruyne hitting a set piece straight into the keepers arms.

    Anyway City was always going to be a massive job for Pep and I wondered why he took it.

    Well played Monaco.

    Seriously impressed by Monaco there over both legs!

    Went and looked into there current squad during the game thinking there would be a lot of Africans in there but ok a few Brazilians at the back and a lot more capped by the French than i thought! Big * pacy powerhouses who are tidy on the ball to boot! If these guys fulfill there potential France are going to be some * side!

    Mind you, after saying that Citeh probably buy 2/3 of them in the summer and waste them in 6 months!:56:

    Must be one of the worst things in football knowing that you have to go to Atletico and score at least two goals.

    Two wouldn't have done it, they needed at least three.

    Monaco look like a great side. They will tear Leicester to shreds if they draw them.

    Man City only have the Fa Cup to play for now.

    Very pleased another English club has been disposed of, especially after the hysteria of the first leg and how good City were all of a sudden after a 5-3 win at home.

    wow what a champions league season so far. Have been enjoying so many games, so many goals and so many teams I really dislike don't take part in it anymore :D

    Best season in a long, long time.

    Think Dortmund v Monaco will be the best tie to watch. Both very attacking teams who look vulnerable at the back.

    Goals aplenty.

    I actually think Bayern v Real will be the pick of the quarter finals, they are both very attacking teams and their meetings before have always been really good games.
