BAYERN MUNICH star and ex-Barcelona man Thiago Alcantara says Manchester City and his boyhood Catalan club have not impressed him this season.
Despite both Barca and City looking nailed on to secure their domestic titles and going strong in the Champions League, the 26-year-old has turned his nose up at both clubs.
Even Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo still turning in incredible individual performances fail to float Thiagos boat.

Speaking to ESPN, Alcantara said: City are playing amazingly, but I don't think 'wow.' [Only] Messi makes me go 'wow.
"Barcelona, Real Madrid, City;There are many teams you'd want to play against.
"But no team has impressed me. They are football players, like us.
We just have to compete and see who is better at that moment.

The midfielder has started just nine of Bayerns 25 Bundesliga games so far this season and scored only once.
A thigh injury picked up in November ruled the playmaker out until mid-February but he is now back in the flow of things.
Alcantara won four La Liga titles at Barca and has now matched that at Bayern with a fifth German league win looking secured.
When City boss Pep Guardiola convinced his former player to follow him from the Nou Camp to Germany, he said: It was a difficult decision.
For everyone who comes through La Masia [Barca's youth academy], it would be.
You don't want to leave Barcelona, you just want to join the first team and have success.
"But it's not just about how you feel, or your self-confidence, but how other people feel about you.
"Pep trusted me and I felt that truth. I learnt a lot from him."
