Gary Lineker known for sharing his opinion on all matters on and off the pitch has made a big claim for Manchester City and labelling it as ‘That was one of the best performances, in an away leg, by an English side in the history of European football. Absolutely outstanding from Manchester City’. Big call to make, surely that’s a bit much when you look at some of the other great English performances in the past.

That was one of the best performances, in an away leg, by an English side in the history of European football. Absolutely outstanding from @ManCity 🙌🏻

I think your mind blanked out the first half, if Tuchel was still in charge of PSG they'd of been 3/4-0 up first half, once again like Kane in the final, Verratti and Mbappe rushed back and second half neither moved off the spot

I think you are mistaken Gary! Citeh played a good second half against 10 knackered men who blew themselves up. Plus, nothing to be proud of in the state owned derby, it’s why the game is in such a mess! pic.twitter.com/cGlr6OtLSV

Getting schooled in the first half was part of the plan, was it? Reactionary bollocks Gary

Who do you fancy to go through to the final now? There’s no doubt that the second leg will be a cracker and we can’t wait for it.
