The Eternal City is highly recommended

MANCHESTER City's Champions League game against Monaco was quite remarkable.

The pace of the game was unbelievable - fans saw two great attacking sides really going for it.

It was just one of those exceptional games you get now and again.

I was very impressed with Monaco actually.

POISED

They were great on the break and you can see exactly why they are going so well in the French League at the moment.

It leaves the tie quite delicately poised, but I fancy City to go through to the quarter-finals.

Of course a 2-0 win would be sufficient for Monaco to progress, but I can't see city not scoring over there. A two-goal advantage at this stage is a decent cushion as far as I'm concerned. Manager Pep Guardiola will have everything worked out in good time.

He'll set his stall out ahead of the second leg and though both sides will probably end up scoring again, City should have enough about them to get through.

It's amazing really, we could end up seeing another game just as exciting as Tuesday's. I wouldn't rule that out.

I was over in Rome last weekend and I had a wonderful time.

If you haven't been to the Eternal City before, then I'd highly recommend it.

There's a masterpiece on every corner. If you like your history, then Rome is the place to see.

There's statues and columns everywhere, and untold historical buildings. It's a beautiful city.

I went to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday to watch my old pals Edin Dzeko and Joe Hart as Roma beat Torino, in some style too.

It was great to see Edin scoring another great goal.

He's really on fire for Roma this season and he's clearly loving it over there.
