3 back to back PLs, just won the treble and they’re still playing as if they had been missing on the league for half a decade, even without some key players. It’s ridiculous.

I remember Inter’s 2010-2011 side, who were still fresh from winning the treble and 5 scudetti in a row, and they were pretty spineless tbh. Did a decent season anyway, winning Copa Italia and making it to QF in the UCL, but didn’t seem much interested in defending any of their competitions including Serie A, which Milan won comfortably.

I know Mourinho left and also, there have been a couple of treble-winning sides since then who did just fine. But honestly, how common is it in sports to retain the same drive, even after achieving massive success? Not so common I’d say. It’s pretty unbelievable, regardless of what you may think of City.

    If Darren England was watching the game he was officiating, we’d be top of the league now. It’s our chance to take the top before KdB is back.

    Same way Bayern has done it 11 years straight, if you’re not playing 100% you’re out of the squad because there’s a top talent right behind you busting their ass to get in the squad.

    You take a day off and boom, Musiala and Doku come from the shadows
