City 2 United 1

Aguero did not play. So strange. He was available. Was on the sideline warming up but Pep never put him in.

This was a snippy, chippy, dirty match throughout and the "Bucs" crowd was forever "AHH!'ing in bitchiness. There were elbows to the head, knees to the legs, diving, a lot of stuttering play; the match did not flow, it stuttered between starts. The refs called it as well as could be expected, they signaled "play on" a number of times but when a guy is on the pitch writhing or pretending and the crowd is bellowing "AHHH!" the game does not flow and then the players start bitching to the refs rather than playing. I didn't like that at all. It was not "beautiful" football.
