Europa League for City?

Unofficial champions Manchester City seem to be taking the Premier League by storm this season but it seems they can't transfer their league form into their Champions League campaign where they stand on the brink of elimination.

Last nights 2-1 defeat to Napoli saw Roberto Mancini's men fall to third place in their Group A table with only a home match against Bayern Munich to come on December 7.

With two wins in 5 matches (both against group whipping boys Villareal) the Citizens know that even a win against the mighty Bayern will not ensure progression into the knockout phase as Napoli have an away game to Villareal which they are expected to win so it could end up being Europa League football in the new year for City.

Last season the top brass at Eastlands wanted Champions League football but I think even they expected to reach the knockout phase especially when you look at their squad but alas, barring a miracles it looks like the Champions League dream has been cut short but with the form they are showing this season in the Premier League (11 wins from 12 matches) City will hope next season's Champions League campaign will be a little longer than this one.
