Manchester City: Truly Unstoppable?
Manchester City: Truly Unstoppable?

Pep's Manchester City has been a force in front of the goal for two seasons in a row now. Last time out, they lost to eventual finalists Liverpool over the two legs but this time Pep surely has written down even more elaborate plans to cut down any attacking threat his team faces. It seems as if City are scoring goals for fun at the moment. The Cityzens have found the net over 70 times in the League season already and their 5-goal frenzy against Schalke was another exemplary performance from the Manchester City frontline.

Schalke were lucky enough to get two penalties and get two goals in return against the force that is Manchester City, but Pep's men simply couldn't be stopped from scoring. How far will this attacking prowess take City in this year's Champions League?

Although Guardiola himself would never acknowledge that his team is a clear favourite to lift the trophy at the Wanda, fans all over Europe are certainly praying for their team to avoid drawing City in subsequent rounds of the Champions League and that in itself is a testament of their challenge for the title this season. As a matter of fact, City is expected by many to achieve the coveted quadruple this season.
