Glad city n Arsenal are out of champs league . I know there english teams . but let's face it they wouldn't want us to win it . so we're still 6 ahead of arsenal n 5 ahead of city . that will do me.

Arsenal, I don’t care either way. They’re a good club, with an improving manager, they just got outfoxed over two legs by a wily, experienced opponent.
As for City, any time they get knocked out of the Champions League is a win for football, even if it is by Real Madrid. With the latter, you simply have to doff your hat to them - they’ve knocked City out twice now, and that’s the third time Ancelotti has beaten Guardiola in a crunch Champions League tie. No matter the opponent, do NOT make them favourites against Real Madrid. Football doesn’t work like that.

That’s very magnanimous of you strom! Personally I’d have been ok with Arsenal progressing but let’s face it, they wouldn’t have won it either!

Just woke up to the city result and it’s glorious.

Arsenal has spend close to 600 mill euros under "Project Arteta". They splashed 100 mill pounds on one player without threatning their FFP. And they will continue to spend untill they win the CL and or league. Hardly inspiring.

Going on how Bayern have been this season, that result did surprise me. RM and City was excellent to see, City just wasted too many chances, they should of won that game. Fantastic to see them go out on pens.

I had both Madrid and arsenal to progress.

People often overestimate British teams and underestimate the historical experience of perennial winners.

How good was Jude Bellingham yesterday. That first touch and control to set up Rodryog for the first goal. My god. He litreally took out two city players with his first touch. The boy is the best english footballer and is winning it all. You could pay to watch him anyday.

I for one wanted City to win. The more hard games they have before the end of the season ends, the better for our hopes of winning the PL.

I was indifferent to whether Arsenal went through or not, but City going out made me laugh, specially Silva missing that penalty so badly. That was hilarious.

I'm of two minds with these results. On the one hand I'm happy they both lost so morale of the team would be at a low. As a consequence, perhaps they'll underperform and lose a game or two in the EPL.

On the other hand they could feel that now that they have one less competition to worry about and train for, they could focus more on the EPL and make it harder for us to catch up.

All depends on the players and their manager. There's the loss of the "double treble" for ManCity and "feels like deja vu" from last year, for Arsenal.

Prior to our Palace defeat, I was of the opinion that it would have been good to see City-Arsenal slug it out over two physically and emotionally draining legs in the semi final, giving us a better shot at the title.

After the Palace defeat, I enjoyed their exits last night.

I wanted both to go through (not win it ) to hopefully take their eye off the league and give them those extra 2 games.

Now City are in the drivers seat and have the league as their primary focus.

That defeat could also mentally and physically take its toll too though JK, plus if Chelsea take them to extra time and penalties at the weekend it could have a negative impact.

Elliott - I’m sorry, man, but I can’t tell whether you’re being ironic with that well-worn and disproved theory, or you actually believe it.
City won a treble last season, winning the PL against Arsenal while knocking out Bayern and Real on the way to the final. The idea they will be slowed down by more games is complete folly.
Make no mistake, had City won last night they’d be lifting the trophy again in May. None of the remaining teams would have been strong enough to stop them.
City can hoover up as many league titles as they want. If they don’t win the league it’s a complete and utter failure. The Champions League is what they really want and need (1 win in 8 for Guardiola) .

LoweLFC, Arsenal got outfoxed by the team many in their fan base said where washed and they would batter w/ o question? Nah, they got exactly what their arrogance and hubris deserved going against yeah a poor Bayern team BUT one that still has experienced winners of this comp. still in their ranks.

Oh, and Arteta is not a good manager. He plays a good one on TV until crunch time and he gets happy feet and loses control and for the 3rd season in a row may well NOT meet expectations and will win nothing. Just saying.

I have to admit I like Arsenal (the club) not so much Arteta tho but it would have been nice to see a great club like the Gunners win the CL. A proper club ?.

Did we get outfoxed by Atalanta at Anfield, a team most of our fans said we should beat?

Olired - I don’t disagree. It was quite funny watching Arsenal get knocked out and their daft fans resigned to winning nothing again. But Arsenal aren’t City and everything else the latter entail.
However, Arteta is quite evidently a good manager. Yes, he has spent a lot of money - probably too much - but he has led Arsenal back to competing again. He isn’t as good as Klopp, but then again who is?
He probably needs one of the two big trophies next season, however.

Mcgoveb that had nothing to do with either set of players mate.

That was match day fans letting down the best fans in the world at home.

I pray they forgive us.

I’m still laughing about that Silva penalty. Worst penalty ever. Even worse than that Arsenal one where they tried to do that Ajax routine and failed. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

Macgoveb, try to keep up. Atalanta or us has nothing to do with how much gas the Arsenal fans (many of them) put on their team as if they have 3 CL's in ther trophy room talking down to Bayern, their fans and their pedigree. Stay on topic, please.

I always want other English teams (especially the Mancs) to lose in semis.

Exhaust the players, fans miss out on a final - perfect ?.
