So if this means we don't get to see Mbappe etc at the Emirates it will be a total joke.

Some may think it's good because it would increase our chances, but for me it damages the spectacle and just demeans the spirit of football itself if they ban players for a bit of s**thousery or in the case of Ceballos just 'dancing' ffs

I hope UEFA works out they will be damaging their own 'product' if they ban them

I’m mixed on this, this feels like UEFA being officious and one would certainly hope that if it goes down this road that it decides to punish Atletico fans as well.

I equally don’t disagree about removing the spectacle of the event by having Mbappe unable to feature at the Emirates

But equally I actually want us to win the tie and if we get an unexpected helping hand I’ll take it , Plus having a team like Real Madrid at the Emirates is something we’ve been without for too long but spectacle is a secondary concern. Man City have played Real Madrid eight times in the last three years, our ambition should be that this will be the type of fixture we become accustomed to playing.

I actually couldn't give a fuck.

Ultimately, players are supposed to conduct themselves in a certain manner & they are paid enough to be professional. If they fuck up and get found out, it's tough shit really.

All that matters is us winning and going through.

I must admit it's about time we had some luck and I probably do draw the line at the throat-slitting thing tbh, that's going too far

Yep, it's one thing when the fans are doing it (not that it is acceptable and there is a level to the amount of abuse players should have to put up with), but when the players are actively engaged in doing things to wind the fans up - then it becomes a different matter.
