Manchester City vs Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-final was one of the most exciting games of football last season.
Particularly the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.
After the first leg ended 1-0 to Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, there were an astonishing five goals in the first 21 minutes at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Raheem Sterling gave the home side the lead in the fourth minute, before Son Heung-min scored twice to hand Spurs a 2-1 lead after just ten minutes.
Bernardo Silva equalised a minute later, before Sterling grabbed his second of the game in a blistering opening quarter of the match.
Sergio Aguero scored after the break, but Fernando Llorente made it 4-3 with 17 minutes to go - a result which would send Spurs through on away goals.
But there was more drama to come.
In injury-time at the end of the game, Sterling thought he had scored his hat-trick to send City through to the semi-finals, but VAR intervened, Aguero being offside in the build-up, to send Spurs through.
Tottenham went on to beat Ajax in the semi-final, in what was another thrilling contest, before losing to Liverpool in the final in Madrid.
And in an interview with Spanish publication Sport, as quoted by Sport Witness, City's chief operating officer Omar Berrada aimed a thinly-veiled dig at Tottenham and the Champions League as a whole.
Asked about the importance of the Champions League - the only trophy City are yet to win, Berrada said: "What we don’t want to do is obsess. It is something we believe will come.
"Of course it would give us one more point at the brand level, but it is a very random competition. Especially in the elimination phase. I would say that not always the best team wins the Champions League, but usually the best team wins the league."
