Gary Neville enjoyed the week’s Champions League action.
I loved the RM v Chelsea match. Unpopular view but I loved the AM v City match too. I know most were disappointed with the AM behaviour,but i sort of enjoyed it.Try and find a way to win, even if your inferior in talent. City’s players will be proud this morning in overcoming it!
