Real Madrid (H) | Post Match Thread

Can’t help feeling like that was the worst kind of victory. So many chances to kill the tie and go 3 clear. 2 bad mistakes to keep them in the tie. Now we have an intense match away to Leeds after a frenetic game tonight. Then another intense match away to Madrid.

We need to defend a lot better if we’re going to win this competition.

Sorry, can't agree. I'm always complaining about the whingers but while the match was superb but you're not human if you weren't disappointed we didn't come out of it with a 3-goal lead. They didn't have many more good chances other than the goals, and it's natural for fans to be disappointed knowing that we still have it all to do in Spain.

Madrid have more to do, I'm confident we will have to much for them.

The second leg will determine whether that was one of the greatest games the Etihad has ever played host to or one of the most needlessly chaotic. Hope Walker and Ake are in the back four next week.

Just avoid defeat and we'll be fine.

i cant get those monaco vibes out of my head. Classic match that i just cant go back and watch again due to how the tie ended.
Praying for a shabby 1-1 draw next week
 
Mahrez was an issue tonight! Really bad decisions at vital moments! After his assist for Debruyne he got most things wrong!
Shooting from an angle on his weaker foot when he could have just laid it across for Foden was just selfish and then just a few minutes later bottling a 50/50 which led to their first goal was shocking! Pep looked livid with him on both situations. I was actually surprised he wasn’t hooked at half time! Then his weak cross field pass led to their penalty!

We’ve got it in us to go their and get what we need but we’ve made it a lot harder than it needs to be!

Errr? We did out score them, we did win.

Although no I’m not writing them off for the second leg but we are ahead at present and I expect us to stay that way!

Talking about the second leg. I would expect Madrid to score at least 2 at home.

Win tonight is great and fully deserved.
 
If Walker had played that game the tie would be over. Incredibly frustrating, but at least we are taking a lead into the second leg. Without a doubt City are so much better than Madrid but wastefulness in front of goal is biting us again.

So annoying.

Chance to kill the game at 2-0 with Mahrez but he goes for glory AGAIN. Then bottled the 50/50 which led to their first.

2 goal lead 3 times and let them off with some stinking defending.

How do we score 4 and not kill them off?? Should have had 6 or 7, too.

Doesn’t feel like a good result at all.

We had a make shift back four without our two first choice full backs, for most of the game we had a 37 year old midfielder at right back.

Even if Mahrez makes it 3-0, Madrid would come back into it, it’s what they do.

It was a great game and glad we get to see it.

fuck off
 
Most frustrating thing is we could have put the game to bed tonight. We haven't. That's the best we have played for a long time. There will be goals in Madrid that's for sure.

Before hand I would have taken a one nil. After that I feel I little disappointed we could have put real daylight between us.

We won't defend like that next week.....but neither will they!
 
Wonderful game of football but so frustrating to only have a one goal advantage.

Cancelo back, hopefully Walker too and we go again. Our standard of play, and personality shown, for the majority of the game was incredible.

It’s been said many times already but on another night we take them for 6 or 7.

Get the feet up and rest ahead of Saturday, decent recovery time between the next two games.
 
I was disappointed at full time but then listened to Bernie . We won. Would we have taken that before kick off? They got lucky with their penalty as well. So we can either accept it (and be reasonably happy )or totally down in the dumps.
 
Fucking ridiculous game, some of our attacking football was sublime our defending fucking abysmal. Kev outstanding, Phil brilliant, Mahrez very frustrating, Jesus and Bernie good.
Felt for Fern having to stand in at full back, started off so comfortably and a beautiful ball in for Phil's goal, but then he got caught out and showed why he isn't a full back.
The second leg is impossible to call as both sides will score, just a question of who scores more. Well done City, proud of you tonight
 
Take your City hat off for a second....

How many millions worldwide watch that thrilling game of football?

We beat Real Madrid and the world watched a truly sensational game.

As Shearer said....

"When you look at it from a neutral point of view - the goals, the atmosphere... It's just been an unbelievable night....It was a joy to be here. It was a joy to watch."
