Manchester City's awful campaign in Europe finished with another poor performance to a Dortmund side lacking several key players, the same can be said about City, who had stars such as Silva and Toure missing from the team. Again, with many City matches, the comparison of the team's collective costs was subject to discussion, as Dortmund spent just £30m compared to City's £156m on the starting line-ups alone, the Manchester club has spent 5.2x, or 520% Dortmund, who's team still included talents such as Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus and Mats Hummels. I feel this doesn't neccesarily pick out how much City have over-spent, but more how well the staff at BVB have done in terms of recovering from the dire financial position they found themselves in not very long at all ago.
