@TheEuropeanLad @infobae The only correct answer. Any arguments otherwise are based on personal favouritism, not facts.

@mcfc_lads Does he mean not going to 'continue' to dominate? A quick look back at the previous winners during the last decade might be a shock for him.

@livermorej92 Great Post. Its really annoyed me how much criticism Akanji has had. He's been an ever present and no doubt put himself on the line. This season has had unprecedented injuries for every club (common theme?!). Players that showed up every week shouldn't be made to be scapegoats.

@AmosMurphy_ Made his life miserable, FFS. Him and his whole club threw a strop when an awards ceremony honoured someone else (they won best club and still chose not to go btw). City fans poked fun at them in a cheeky way. It was hardly Figo playing against Barca for the first time.

@GeronimoMorgans It's jealousy, designed to belittle his achievements to support a narrative about someone's personal favourite. He's been integral to our success, & changed the stability of the defence. He's never not won the league (until now). Others can only dream of his achievements!

@mehulg10 @Carra23 Well played

@Coral @footballontnt some feedback on your top pundit here for you. Just FYI in case you were wondering who rates him... Spoiler alert, no one does.

@bluewolf57 Really enjoyed hearing him bring that up all those years later. Brilliant.

@__alexhowell @ManCity Really well written letter Alex, good on you.

@UTDTrey Strange looking Ballon D'or.

@barneyronay Don't worry Barney, we wouldn't expect you to understand. Even if you did you'd pretend you didn't. Contrary takes have got you this far, after all.

@MCFCGabster Its total bollocks. Arsenal, United and Liverpool all moan about needing a 'top' centre forward. We have one of the best to ever do it, but because he doesn't do step overs and rainbow flicks they try to undermine him. Jealousy is such an ugly trait.

@AbsoluteBruno Taken up Jenga has he?

@AnfieldRd96 Only 2-0? Wasn't worth digging up the picture for that tbh.

@clinicalkai Tell me you've missed the point, without telling me you've missed the point.

@MikaelMadridsta Not a Ballon D'or though is it!

@primevideosport @WayneRooney Really weird to get an openly biased anti City pundit in for this game. When his team are in Europe they play on Thursday nights. Put him on that next time.

@City_Xtra Yeah, Real weren't bothered about the game before the banner. They saw that and changed their minds... The point was that their spoilt behaviour tried to take the spotlight off Rodri winning his biggest individual award. Rodri loved it! Fuck Madrid and Carragher.

@nlurmston Haha. Real saw the banner and decided they wanted to win the game. They weren't arsed before that... Clearly they're the favourites to go through, but the tie isn't over.

@city_rabin I agree. The banner doesn't need to be viewed in the context of the tie. It was an opportunity to remind Real that they behaved in a classless manner on the biggest individual night of Rodri's career. He loved it and was seen taking photos of it. That's good enough for me!
