I just hope you don't get disappointed in City at the end of the day, because I don't see how City will be able to make it to the semifinals or finals, when we haven't seen them in their best form. Personally, I think you are hyping them too much, because what I see is their old glory in them and not a fight of victory this season. Pep needs to do whatever magic he has to do fast, before it's too late. 
For this season it seems that Manchester City fans just need to see the reality and also be grateful for what the team has achieved because when Manchester City fans expect too much from the team they like and always exaggerate the strength of their team, of course they have forgotten the strength of other teams such as Liverpool, Barcelona and also Real Madrid because those three teams will definitely improve more than Manchester City in the Champions League this season. Because the Champions League is a league full of competition and also the pressure of strength from each team that always brings out their best abilities every season, so a team that doesn't have development in their performance, of course it will be easier to be defeated by their opponents.
