Three reasons for Champions League optimism

Just 18 years after suffering relegation to the third tier, Manchester City are set to appear in one of the biggest games in an eventful 122 year history. A European Cup semi-final against Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu. It is a game of enormous magnitude.

The odds are stacked against the Blues, and media outlets, pundits and fans alike have essentially written City off, however, those people may be somewhat premature in their judgement.

An element of pessimism is built in to all City fans – it comes with the territory – but we have to believe! I’m here to make a case for our boys in blue. I’m here to make a case for why this tie and game is not as black and white as it may appear. I’m here to make a case for why, in this season of all seasons, the inconceivable and the unthinkable shouldn’t be ruled out of the reckoning.

As implausible as it may seem, City are potentially just 90 minutes from reaching the Champions League Final. Here are three reasons why what was once just fantasy can in fact become reality.
