There's a rumor that Pep and Begiristain told Sheikh Mansour

Manchester City will never reach the level of Barcalona

Did he mean Barcelona under Pep? Because City will never EVER reach that level.

Must be 50 for Real Madrid then ay

Barcelona have 5 CLs and 20 league titles, I think 10 years is a very optimistic estimate for Man City with their 0 CLs and 3 league titles

As an ignorant soccer fan and someone that doesn't know the Barcelona lore and only knows the modern era, why/how would any team be a decade behind Barcelona? In what sense? Achievements? Following?

>>75942526
Everything
City before 2010 was basically like a mid-tier team but then they got brought and have ascended since

>>75942526
being good you stupid American fuck

>>75942526
Achievements, development, playing philosophy, academy graduates who grew up playing a certain style old enough to play, etc

>>75942526
>and only knows the modern era

Then you should know Barca because they were fuck all before Messi.

Barcelona is the 2nd or 3rd-most popular club in the world, with 24 Spanish titles and 5 European titles. They've had some of the best players of all time, like Messi, Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Cruyff. Up until 2009, Manchester City was a low-tier English team, with like 2 English titles to their name and nothing more. They're on completely different levels.

It's like the Yankees compared to the Padres, or the Steelers compared to the Titans.

>>75942625
They had 2 CLs and 18 league titles before Messi.

>they were fuck all before Messi.
