Good line up

C/Mon Cityyyy

A slow start but a good half in the end. Lovely goals from Phil and Erling. Good contributions from Doku but Savinho has had a very good half. Keep it tight now and it will be a very good start to the League phase.

Where is Rodri ?

[gavin]

Not even on the bench, he has had 'a little setback' according to Pep.

A decent win. I was getting slightly concerned at 3-1 but Dortmund are a decent side so we should expect some worries. Great to see Phil firing again.

[KunDB]

I get the feeling the team is ticking over nicely and building slowly to a very high level. Might even see the top level for this team early, second half of the season.

This is some squad, just oozing talent everywhere, including on the bench.
