That's the situation, and you count the points and you think, OK, three more, unbelievable.
Yeah, pretty special, absolutely.
It was a shock yesterday, this morning, whenever it came out, a complete wow, what's that?
The only thing I can say, I'm a football coach so I can speak about football and what Pep and Man City did since I'm in England is exceptional, that's absolutely exceptional.
About all the rest I have no idea what happened, who did what and stuff like this, but I can imagine that in the moment it's really difficult for the sports people to understand.
You believe the people you work with, that's how it is, and they tell you this and that, and obviously somebody sees it completely different.
I really feel for them, to be honest, for Pep and the players, but that will not help, I think.
But it's the first, what do you say, the first verdict?
Make an appeal.
Yeah, they will appeal and then we will see what happens then.
It's obviously serious, otherwise UEFA would not react like that, but the football they played and play was and will be exceptional.
Yeah, it was a tough game, I expected that to be honest, and if there's a team who is not at all fussed about the situation playing in 44 hours, two games, then it's probably Wolves.
Nuno has a sensational bunch of players there, he does make a lot of changes, they play Thursday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday, through the whole season, so they're used to a tough rhythm, so that was clear.
In the first half a lot of moments we controlled the game really well, scored the goal, which looked a bit exciting because of the VR thing, but for me in the first moment it was no handball.
We were already with an armpit offside this year, and yesterday I think Pukki was with his shoulder offside, so for me it was a clear shoulder from Adam.
But it took a while, you can imagine it's not too cool for Wolves of course, and the next goal I didn't see that there was anybody in an offside position.
We were surprised by ourselves, but when the guy who crossed the ball in the centre is offside, or whoever it was, then we are there for him.
It took a while again, but in the end it gave them...
a bit of momentum, they were now really on their toes, really on fire.
We had this little moment when we scored a goal, kind of relief, and got directly the punishment.
