This is the most complete squad I've walked into so far and as the transfers will show we had to make minimal changes




Major Manager change
Was expecting to see more big jobs come up after the Euro's but this was it. Still got a good squad so might challenge right away. Will be great to battle with Bayern for the title.

Only one change on the continent
Frank De Boer - Inter

Think he'll finish the season first. Usually much faster than i am at the game and he got today off work too thanks to Public transport being unreliable. I have most of there current superstar team so would have expected to do better in the league at least but he's made a great start

Up's and downs. Not liking it as much as i thought i would, Was very tempted with a few of the above jobs. Were Very reliant on Lewandowski's goals. Subotic doing much better than Hummels and i've struggled to get them back to there eaqrly season form but have just made the 2nd biggest signing in my FM history behind Ronaldo to Inter for £90m in FM2010.

Benfica's away goal gives them the advantage in the 2nd leg we'll have to get at least 1 goal to get through


Benfica 0-1 Dortmund
Rakitic


AGG Dortmund 3-1 Benfica


A Penalty halfway through the second half put the ball in our court and Benfica we not the team they were in the 1st leg ensuring a comfortable passage to the last 8

Man City V Dortmund - Champions League Q/F 1st leg
The 1st leg works out perfectly as were away s as long as we can get a goal we'll be in the hunt for the home leg


Man City 1-1 Dortmund
Gotze


Call the cops! There's been a major thief from the Etihad stadium. Im sure i put on my defensive tactics in the build up but at half time my players were all over the place mostly out of position with my attacking tactic but were just 1-0 down. But somehow in the 2nd half we got a equalizer and take the advantage back to Germany

8 games to go and we've got a 5 point lead over Bayern with Leverkusen right on there tails and no European distractions like Dortmund and Bayern

Tottenham V Dortmund - Champions League S/F 1st leg
We knocked out the best English team in the last round so were more than capable of taking out Spurs and reaching a 3rd final in a row


Tottenham 1-1 Dortmund

Dortmund were very unlucky not to win the 1st leg. Despite scoring Lewandowski had a poor day up top and my former striker Rooney put us to the sword making the home leg a must win match


Both Germans will be relying on the away goals rule but Bayern more so than ourselves

This was a awful month domestically as we worked so hard to secure progress in Europe. Were still top by 4 points and a superior goal difference as Bayern had similar issues and Leverkusens challenge has faded
