The ESPN FC crew ask whether anyone can stop Manchester City.
Belief isn't something that comes naturally to Manchester City fans. After being beaten down for years by regular embarrassments, they've been burned one too many times to fall into the trap of feeling confident. They won't think their team will do the expected, all too wary of the unexpected creeping up and pinching them on the bottom.
Every club has their misfortunes, of course, but it seems to be only City that can tell tales of being knocked out of the FA Cup by a balloon (2-1 at Sheffield United...

The ESPN FC panel break down one of Tottenham's biggest ever wins, as Spurs exposed Real Madrid to having serious issues throughout their squad.
Cristiano Ronaldo discussed Madrid's defeat to Tottenham and accepted that the squad is weaker without Morata, James and Pepe.
Wednesday was a night that will haunt Real Madrid, who turned in a Wembley performance more shocking than anything the previous evening's reputation could possibly have conjured. Zinedine Zidane reserved his own fright night for All Saints' Day and sent out a side with so many individual sinners that they barely resembled the reigning European and Spanish champions.
Tottenham Hotspur announced their arrival among Europe's elite with a sparkling performance, displaying football truly worthy of the...

Christian Pulisic and Mario Gotze reflect on Dortmund's disappointing draw versus Apoel and what they need to fix against Bayern.
Mario Gotze struggled to make sense of a difficult, disappointing night for Borussia Dortmund. On the one hand, a 1-1 home draw with APOEL of Nicosia was nothing less than a huge embarrassment and sporting disaster. "We have two points after four games in the Champions League," the BVB midfielder told reporters at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday. "There's no point in putting a nice gloss on that. That's not the level we aspire to."
At the same time, Peter Bosz's team had created more than...

As Tottenham fans "Ole'd" every pass, revelling in Real Madrid's humiliation, thoughts drifted back to the last time Spurs had hosted the European champions. White Hart Lane rather than Wembley was the setting for Inter Milan's visit in November 2010 but then, just as now, Spurs sent a message to Europe with a seismic 3-1 win. Then, it was Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, now of Real, who came of age and on Wednesday it was Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Kieran Trippier & Co.
The win over Inter was Tottenham's...

Mauricio Pochettino spoke after his side's victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League and explained why he believes his side are one of the best teams in Europe.
The FC pundits talk how Mauricio Pochettino, without the use of the transfer market, was able to get Tottenham in a position to pull off a big win over Real Madrid.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright said it is a "frightening prospect" to see Tottenham flourish under Mauricio Pochettino, and admitted he felt jealous after seeing Spurs beat Real Madrid 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Wright, who trails only Thierry Henry on the list of Arsenal's record goal scorers, was among the Gunners faithful who looked on at Tottenham's impressive win with a sense of unease.
As Arsenal get ready to play Red Star Belgrade in Europe's second-tier competition, the Europa...
