Jens Lehmann calls Man City "very very boring".. [View all]

The former Arsenal and Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann says the Champions League is better off without Manchester City after they were eliminated from the competition despite beating Bayern Munich 2-0.

Lehmann, working as a pundit for Germany's Sky television, could not hide his pleasure at seeing City drop into the Europa League as Napoli joined Bayern in qualification from Group A of the competition.

"Man City play very, very boring football," he said. "They just make their opponents fall asleep with lots of possession. That is not tactically very demanding. The way they play here is the way any amateur team plays, only not on such good grass."

"Napoli have heart and passion and I liked them. It is good that they have gone through. We don't want to see Manchester City in the Champions League."

I've always liked Jens. Not only was a great keeper and a member of Arsenal's Invincibles, but he's never been afraid to say what's on his mind..
