Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

[Bluemoonie92]

Embarrassing really. Both legs we just didn't defend the lead well enough. They get a lead for the first time amd we didn't even have a sniff. Seemed every shot they had on target went in.

 

[RayCTID]

Not having a striker has cost us. That’s on the board.

pep & players have give us everything. Yes naive at 2 up when still trying to score 3 is insane.

we had chances to win this last week & the league weeks ago.

the board let us all down not replacing Aguero & the fact fern is still playing in semis days it all.

we go again blues

Haaland wasn't available and Levy refused to sell. It was the defending on both goals that cost us. The lads will pick themselves up on Sunday

 

[BlueMoonday]

Who do we back in the final? Which is the lesser of two turds? I might have to side with the plastic cheating club Real Madrid. Can't face the dippers winning the quad.

 

[eyalluvitt]

PSG, Chelsea and now us. You’d think their name is on the cup. Only ourselves to blame though. Should have won the first leg more comfortably and missed opportunities at 1-0 tonight.

The turd that won’t flush FC

 

[BlueLou82]

Poor in game management and naivety. Run the clock down, dont let them build momentum. Especially aftet they got the 1st.

Suprised from such experienced players tbh

 

[zebbemacahan]

I'm surprisingly not too bothered. We had the game won and only needed to see it out professionally but didn't do so. Shit ref but our own fault really.

Good for you

 

[I'm With Stupid]

could change the club and the psyche of this team so disastrous was that result.

This is the worry, that it affects our confidence in the league. Not to mention the physical effects of going through extra time in Spain followed by a tricky tie against Newcastle.

 

[Gumzy97]

Bottlers, how do you concede two fucking goals that quick. Our attack is shameful

 

[Theengelbert]

Don’t even know where to start or how we break down this loss.. I can’t explain it. I feel that if KDB just showed up today we’d have won but he just didn’t play anything like we know he can. My biggest fear now is for Sunday, we have got to go out and win that. The players will be nackered and disappointed how do you pick them up from that?

 

[oldius]

Controlled the game with some strong performances. What happened could not have been foreseen and certainly is not on Pep. The referee was poor and it is why I have no real love for the CL.

 

[Spiderman]

This one is on Pep, he blew it.

 

[stan bowles]

Questionable refereeing. We had that tie by the throat. I still think Grealish has to put the stake in their heart at 5-3 up with either of those two chances.
Felt like once they got one, we were on the ropes.

 

[plattlanebenches]

Of course we did.

No. We lost it in the last 2 mins. We were in control until then.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

The club to blame.
How do they expect to win the highest prize if they don’t even have a striker for 2 years.
Hopefully rectify that this summer and have a change of style and get rid of some of the useless twats like Sterling, Gundogan and Laporte

The club to blame? The club made 100m available for transfers! Surely you remember where that 100m ended up, right?

 

[Mayor West]

Said to my lad at 83 minutes this isn't over

Only City can lose big occasions like tonight fucking shambles

I said at 89 minutes madrid still have 2 goals in them, shame I was bang on

 

[Kinkladze 1]

A box of fucking fish fingers could have done a better job.

 

[minimalistic]

At 1:0 we should have managed the game to the final whistle. Absolutely bottled it.

 

[simon23]

when you waste as many chances as we do these one off games are always going to be an issue.

the first half of the first leg we could have scored 5 or 6 easily - we didnt and its come back to haunt us...

Defensively we were not good at the right moments and once Pep had maed his subs the "b team" wre never evergoing to haul it back....Not Peps fault as he couldnt have predicted that but Sterling, Ferna and Grealish were innaffective...Grealish should have put his chance away and didnt and again that comes back to the first point.....Vinicius Jnr scores that in the first leg.....we didnt then

More concerning is what this does to the squad physically and mentally for the prem league.....Walker injured, Laporte reportedly not moving well at the end of the match...other players completely knackered mentally and physically.

If we dont win the league the scousers will win all 4 as they will beat that Madrid team as defeinsvely as we have shown they are poor..and the scousers have forwards who will take those chances

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Well that was shit

 

[coolcity]

The ref and ourselves have done this, De bruyne was poor as fuck, sterling does nothing most of the time and Ederson doesn't seem to save shots but is hugely important to our game. Fuck knows the answer. Despondent is the word. Real are shite, but they won and it makes me think we're wearing blue tinted glasses and we're not as good as we think we are. Poor.

Bullshit. No way did RM deserve to win that, they scabbed it. Iffy pen, so-called extra time cut short - I timed it with a stopwatch for every sub, every time the match was stopped for players going down and I timed it at over 7 mins. The ref didn't even play the full 3 mins. Our record over the past decade shows we're good enough, piece of piss when you get to play Benfica and Villareal but we never do.
