Will Guardiola be able to finally win the UCLwith City? — Will Guardiola be able to finally win the UCL with City?

Catalan master-tactician, Pep Guardiola said that the first half performance against Ukraine side Shakhtar Donetsk was the best that Manchester City had ever played since his arrival in 2016 and they look to have certainly shrugged off that early home defeat to Olympique Lyonnais and should qualify for the last 16 of the competition as group winners.

Big money signing Riyad Mahrez has given Guardiola even more options going forward adding flair and creativity means competition for places in midfield is staggeringly high giving Pep the right kind of headache.

After a meteoric rise through the German lower divisions, provincial side 1899 Hoffenheim, a team bankrolled by local businessman Dietmar Hopp, are making their UEFA Champions League group stage debut and they look to grab hold of the Europa league spot leaving Shakhtar with a one-way ticket back home.

Lyon will be content with a 2nd place finish but would certainly hope to pip City for the top spot.
