Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[Dr Jacoby]

I think we would have lost regardless of who started. We don’t know how to create chances against a very well-organised Chelsea side.

It was an extremely underwhelming final.

 

[Keeper!]

We won the league. More important. One day we will win this overrated cup competition

raggy

 

[ayia napa blues]

All on Pep.

Play your best fucking players in your best fucking system.

He fucks up everytime!

Couldn't agree more

 

[BigOscar]

If you get beat with your best 11, playing their usual system that has won fucking everything, then fair fucks. But every fucking time it's losing playing a new system that we've never used and aren't used to.

Have some fucking balls and back the team to be better than the opposition you coward

 

[come-on-barney]

Nothing about the lineup or Pep.


Chelsea were just better, no point looking for who to blame.

I think most knew an hour before kick off

 

[coolcity]

Didn't turn up, but I thought the handball claim was dismissed pretty quickly. FERNANDINHO SHOULD HAVE STARTED to free up Whippy

Got the feeling it was a game where Fernandinho would've ended up with a red card early on. I'm not one to criticize refs usually but he gave us nothing.

 

[jazzy]

We were funking awful end of

 

[kupest]

Its ok. We move on. We need a lb and a striker asap.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

CITY TILL I DIE!!!

Ref gave us nothing all game. Blocked the passing lanes all game. 50-50 all went Chelsea's way. DO NOT underestimate how much this effected our players; certainly early doors.

Oh, and BT were ****'S.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Disappointed

 

[PragueBlue]

Not the best performance. Better 2nd half after a very poor first but just no creativity and reduced to just flinging cross or long throws into the box, which just isn't our game. A few half chances but they defended well. Too many players had an off game too.

Wasn't happy with the line up and believe that cost us in the end but we'll never know.

Anyway it was a disappointing end to a great season.

Here's to going one better next season.

 

[hilts]

Tuchel's Chelsea only beat us twice before because we put a "2nd team" out?

As we did tonight as well

Dinho and Jesus excellent when they came on

In Pep we trust eh?

Well done Chelsea deserved the win, manager knew what he as doing as well which helps.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

And fair play to Chelsea and especially Kanté, what a player

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

I’m glad we lost those other meetings with Chelsea so we couldn’t show Tuchel our game plan!!

 

[teddypaul]

1 shot on target says it all , gutted

 

[Millo]

The best team won. Pep messed up again with that team selection. One shot on target says it all. Very disappointed.

 

[HolisticJim]

Guts me that Rodri was supposed to be a Fern replacement but just isn't good enough and that's left us with a gap in midfield.

Pep has always had something personel with Sergio too and that's cost us our greatest ever striker.

I just hope that Pep gets the players he wants for next season and the players we have remember the feeling of losing in a final.

 

[Gazza]

If it feels bad now, just wait until you wake up tomorrow and it all comes flooding back.

 

[BlueBanger]

Ref was their 12th man and their play acting shameless...but we created absolutely nothing thanks to pep and his fucking tinkering. We aint winning the champions league with him. Resigned to it. Starting sterling and gundo as CDM against a harrying team? Absolute footballing self harm.

Gutted but moreso disgusted

city+other english club+champions league = L
