Nothing super surprising here. The only questions were really Clichy v Kolarov, Nasri v Milner, and Dzeko v Aguero. Think Pellegrini got the lineup right?
Bayern have fielded a strong lineup (then again, I don't really think they have any weak ones). I really urge everyone to read this piece from Bavarian Football Works on how Pep has been setting his team out this season. I've never seen anything quite like it and it will be interesting to see how City deals with it.
Thoughts? Comment away, and let's go City!
