Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[foxbox123]

We put out a seriously odd XI and Chelsea just did Chelsea.

I don’t think it was the lack of strikers tonight, we created nothing.

the lack of options up front killed us tonight simple ? aguero was finished long before tonight. sterling is not good enough at this level. jesus is even worst

this will be the lesson city and pep will learn from tonight get 2 top strikers and this city team win the champions league

 

[Burtonblue]

HOW MANY TIMES!?!! We watch him throw it away in Europe each year and yet some still think that’s good enough

Well he’s good enough to win the premier league and quite honestly that’s good enough for me and most of us

Pep out definitely

give you head a wobble fella

 

[bluemoon32]

What we must not do is cry. It's OK if we cry when we win but we didn't quite manage it this time . This is just a step on a long journey. We will.be back ,no doubt. Then we can cry.

Fcuk crying, im just so angry we didnt turn up

 

[The perfect fumble]

Tuchel in 4 months has done what Pep couldn't in years.

Get a grip.

Next season we are winning this.

They did an excellent job denying Mahrez and Sterling space outside and Kante cleaned up everything centrally. The guy is an absolutely outstanding footballer. And they got all they needed — one breakaway in space.

I’m not so much upset that we played the formation we did — more so that we didn’t look fast nor fluid with a system that should have encouraged that. It’s almost as if we reverted to our style from earlier in the season — slow, tentative, less energetic.

I’m not as upset as I expected. We WILL be back in this final and it will be all the sweeter for having lost this one. Still an excellent season with two trophies and one match away from maximum games.

What makes you think that? Guardiola doesn’t learn from his mistakes he just goes for the possession game and hopes for the best. This was our chance and we blew it!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Why?

If you read it again you’ll understand. If you really think nobody really cares about losing tonight you cant be a real fan.

 

[Bandofblues]

Lost before a ball was kicked

Maybe you should be in charge. Prick!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I want to add that Chelsea deserve this. They have outplayed every team they’ve played in the knockout stages and tonight was no different. Kante is an incredible player.

 

[Badensbluemoon]

Don't know how long it will take to get over this.. Never been at this stage before

Shouldn't lose sight of that... But the way we lost... Inexcusable

You mean not playing our best team?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Let's beat the fuckers off the pitch now, lol

 

[Postman Pep]

That’s the worst part

I know

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

How much are flights to Switzerland?

 

[Keeper!]

Fucking students are cheering next door!

when you give it, you have to take it, we were as bad as the rags on Wed, that says it all, we both let Manchester down badly

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Absolutely gutted, but we didn't deserve to win, lots of players went missing and James for them played out of his skin. Ref was not gonna give us anything particularly with the history between him and Pep.
Regroup, add a couple of fresh faces and we go again next season.
Ctid

James defended out of his skin. I was worried about him attacking! But Tuchel clearly told him and Azil “be flypaper on whomever is wide”. And they were.

 

[wayne71]

Kane and Grealish are musts for me, plus a left back

Whats the point?

We had one player in our squad that was capable of dealing with kante and he spent 2 thirds of the game on the bench.

Genius my fucking arse.

Oh and well done to Chelsea, the better team won.

 

[Scottyboi]

Have you considered following cricket?

Pep over thinked it yet again any other conclusion is bollocks

 

[Kinkladze 1]

We absolutely monstered Dortmund and PSG then changed it to include Sterling In the final. An absolutely bizarre decision.

 

[colorado blue]

We may have not deserved to win it. We definitely deserved the stone wall penalty that wasnt given or then overturned. Could have made a difference, could have not, still wasn't right

Still not seen a good replay to know. VAR looked at it for a long time so must have been close.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

And I defended those ‘reduced’ line ups for those 2 games, but having seen tonight as well, I think we need to view those 3 game’s against Tuchel’s Chelsea as a whole, and in all 3 matches, regardless of players, we’ve been second best.

Defo tonight. Very disappointing
