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

NOT – Away record

City won three and drew the other of their four Champions League home games this season, but their away record was dreadful.

They started out with a 3-3 draw away at Scottish champions Celtic, the game that ended their ten-match winning start to the season under Guardiola, before going to the Nou Camp a few weeks later and getting hammered 4-0 by Barcelona.

Their 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach did ensure qualification to the knockout stages, although they were once again below-par for 45 minutes, and their final away game culminated in the 3-1 defeat in Monaco on Wednesday night – again, they were poor for at least 45 minutes of that game.

That results in just two draws and two defeats from their four away games in the competition, so if City are serious about going deep in Europe in the years to come, they quite simply have to improve their away form.
