What’s Hot and What’s Not from Manchester City’s Champions League campaign

NOT – They’re out

For the third time in the last four years, City failed to make it past the last 16 stage.

Apart from their fine run to the semi-finals under Manuel Pellegrini last season, the Manchester club have not made the giant strides in Europe many were expecting when they returned to the Champions League in 2011.

And, having taking a 5-3 lead to Monaco on Wednesday night, to then exit the competition is almost inexcusable from the position they were in.

Nonetheless, Guardiola’s side are out, which inflicts the earliest exit on the Spaniard as a manager, and he will now have to make sure that they are in the competition again next season by finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
