The rags meanwhile, have followed up last year’s ‘easy on paper’ group in which they were humiliated with another kindly nod towards Braga, Galatasaray and Cluj, even though Galatasary is a horrible place to go.
Regardless of whether or not this is another European old guard protecting fix, the mouthwatering clashes with Real will be eagerly anticipated in Manchester as the bloke with the coat from Matalan returns to town alongside City favourite Ladyboy Riverdancer…The future rags manager will know for sure that there is nothing more dangerous in football these days than a Roberto Mancini Manchester City side that have been written off or cast as underdogs.
Mancio will be relieved that The Blues do not have too far to travel before crucial Premier League fixtures.
Planet Blue continues to live a dream which was unimagineable just over a decade ago if not unthinkable a handful of years ago.
Football Development Officer Patrick Vieira said:
