On Wednesday, English Premier League will face the only obstacle between them and a spot in next season’s Champions League: Steaua Bucureşti.
The Citizens locked horns with the Romanian side last week for the first leg, with the second leg set to be played at the Etihad Stadium ahead of Thursday’s draw.
An fiery affair can be expected, as Steaua Bucureşti took to Twitter to publicly troll Pep Guardiola’s side. Topics up for discussion were Man City’s lack of history, their shortcomings in the Champions League, and their excess spending.
Hey ManCity! How does it feel to win a Champions League? Oh wait...

ManCity have spent 400 million in the last 2 seasons buying players. And made 20 mil from selling! While Steaua made 50 million profits!

On Tuesday, Steaua Bucureşti took aim at the Citizens fans, coming short of labeling them plastic, citing the supporters’ failure to back Joe Hart after a recent falling out with Pep during training.
Tomorrow Steaua will beat City!There will be more Romanians in the stands than City fans! We will fill #EmptyHad and soar to victory! #OilFC

Unfortunately, the Romanian outfit will (most probably) be made to eat their words, as they are unlikely to progress at Manchester City’s expense. The reason: Laurențiu Reghecampf’s crew trails Aguero and Co. by five goals to nil.
The Argentine striker scored a hat-trick in the first leg, and with the second being played at Man City’s home ground, expect the aggregate to increase.
