City are better in league play, do i trust them above Liverpool in CL-knockouts? Not really, i'd give them both about the same chance to take it.
They have changed their ways since last season.
They are not the all attacking force, but vulnerable at the back.
They play 'ultra control' football, killing off the tempo of any game to suit their needs.
Look also at the progress on the same way of playing: 2 wins already against Tuchel's Chelsea so far, to which they lost thrice in critical games last season.
I don't think anyone can beat them ATM, unless some of the other 3 contenders improves dramatically until May
I would like to see a City-Bayern final, but I think City will still win it, despite the brute attacking talent of Bayern.
They are clear favorites IMO!!!
