For many, the 2011 Barcelona team reached a level unequalled before or since. Manchester Cityâs class of 2024, however, stand alone in another respect.
In going 26 European Cup or Champions League games undefeated â even with the sizeable and significant caveat they did lose a penalty shootout in that time â they accomplished something no one else ever had. In a microcosm of much in Manchester football, they stripped the record from their neighbours: Sir Alex Fergusonâs Manchester United had set the previous best of 25.
A record-breaking night was also a routine one. Cityâs ability to beat the competitionâs lesser lights has underpinned their run. They duly overcame Sparta Prague; a 5-0 scoreline scarcely counted as a shock. Perhaps it is damning City with faint praise to say there was a formulaic feel to it, even if their second goal certainly was not an identikit strike from the Guardiola blueprint.
