Fucking Chelsea beat Madrid yesterday. UNbelievable. I completely forgot about the match, which result sets up an all-England  Champions League final in Istanbul May 29. City also play Chelsea at Etihad Saturday in the Premier League. A win by City clinches the Premier League crown. Within the space of three weeks City could win the top two prizes in world club football against the same team.

I watched highlights of Chelsea-Madrid. Chelsea dominated them. Madrid looked strangely unworthy, pedestrian. WHAT a job Thomas Tuchel has done at Stamford Bridge after replacing Frank Lampard only on January 26. Worthy opponents, these, who will lose in Istanbul to magnificent Manchester City.
