I'm starting to think with Pep, he's an incredible league manager but his eccentricities aren't necessarily best suited to the sudden death nature of knockout competitions. (I know that wasn't an issue at Barcelona, but that was Barcelona.) I still say Man City were the best, most complete team I'd seen last season but there's always that possibility, as we saw, that in a single game, they'll break down. It's the difference between a Mercedes and a Ferrari. I can trust a Mercedes but it'll never excite me the way a Ferrari does.
