As we know, Manchester City has able to defeat Sporting Lisbon by 3-2 at home but with aggregate 3-3, Lisbon has away goal advantage and deserve to qualify to next round. City has lack on defends at first half while Lisbon had really dominated with more offensive resulted 2 goals from Matias Fernandez and Van Wolfswinkel at first half. However, City wake up at second half, they need four goals to qualify and succeed to score three goals,two from Aguero and one penalty goal from Mario Balotelli. They have tried best to do more offense but unable to score those single important goal..and they should surrender over Lisbon.. I really enjoy to watch the match which consider high tempo and many attraction…what do you think about City performance and achievement?
Man City: Hart, Richards, Toure, Savic, Kolarov, Pizarro (Dzeko 55'), Toure Yaya, Johnson (De Jong 46'), Silva (Nasri 66'), Balotelli, Aguero
Sporting: Rui Patricio, Daniel Carrico, Xandao, Anderson Polga, Insua, Bruno Pereirinha, Fernandez (Neto 63'), Schaars, Diego Capel

if joe hart effort can`t be saved by Porto goalkeeper , the story for city maybe different..maybe..
but it was football
city can`t claim they are the best team, only when see all their player is the best player..
the best team, when you can get many trophy in one season..

I overwhelmed and notice that every top 4 in Barclays premier league is become poor in performance so far. It is very enigma for me to see defeat most of premier league team is unsuccessful to move forward next round. Any disaster had hit them to keep facing defeat and defeat.
Even the sporting Libson is had shown a high quality game compare to Manchester City. Even Manchester City had made a lot expenses but still failed to win either Champion League, Europe cup and recently drop to second top in Barclays Premier League.
Any future improvement for Manchester City in future?
