Man City have failed to live up to their expectation

Man city knocked out of champions league.

 Monaco 3 - 1 Mancity

Having won the competition twice in his time at Barcelona, this is the first time in manager Pep Guardiola's career that he has gone out at this stage.

 The English side were 13 minutes from a place in the quarter-finals after clawing themselves back into a second leg their hosts had dominated, but slack marking from a set-piece allowed Tiemoue Bakayoko to head home the decisive goal.

Monaco lost 5-3 in an extraordinary first leg in Manchester but dominated the first half at the Stade Louis II and opened the scoring through the excellent Kylian Mbappe's poked finish from close range.

The Ligue 1 side, who had scored 123 goals so far this season, deservedly doubled their advantage on the night, punishing City's sluggish start through Fabinho's crisp strike. City failed to muster any sort of shot in the opening 45 minutes and it took until the 65th minute for Sergio Aguero to call goalkeeper Danijel Subasic into a sharp save.

They forced their way into the game - and back into the aggregate lead - as Leroy Sane swept in when Subasic parried Raheem Sterling's low strike, but their defence could not hold out. The result leaves Premier League champions Leicester City as the only English team in the last eight.

They have been two brilliant football matches. City lost it in the first half when they were outplayed, outfought and were bullied.  They got back into the game and they thought they were through. But their Achilles heel was a sloppy goal. Another year has failed to live up to expectations.

I am not so sure the signings over the last five years have been that good, but when Leroy Sane scores, Pep Guardiola is thinking 'this is perfect, we can control the game from here'. Then they concede. Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville asserted on BBC Radio 5 live Guardiola doesn't go out there and spend the bulk of his money on defenders. He will be thinking if they had put one of those chances away they would be in the next round.
