Real Madrid CL s /f 2nd leg (A) | Man of the Match

[Elliot houghton]

Bernardo without a doubt

 

[jamiecav]

Walker gave everything when clearly not fit. Thrown the rest of his season away for us and literally put his body on the line.

Bernie was incredible but I'm giving it Walker for that reason

 

[I'm Blue]

Went with Bernardo, it was him or Walker.
If you pick anyone else you’re wrong.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Bernardo was superb. Then Walker - who we missed terribly when he got injured.

 

[Aba452]

Kyle brave as a lion, hope we don't miss him too much in the league now. Bernie didn't deserve to be on the losing side. Defence and keeper not at it today. Poor game management too.

Fuck off mcpointy, you asinine halfwit.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Walker - It all went wrong after he went off. He was awesome.

Bernardo was superb throughout too.

 

[west didsblue]

If everyone else was at Bernardo’s level we’d have pissed it.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Cancelo was very poor. On a number of occasions he could have cleared the ball properly but just kept try to chip it forward and gave it away, putting us under pressure. I think one of the goals came as a result.

He drives me fucking mad. Either tries (and fails) to wrestle his way in front of opponents and gets rolled, or ducks out of heading it. His decision making in the last 10 minutes of normal time tonight was fucking mind blowing. Said it before, great going forward, but he just can’t defend

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Bernie followed by Kyle

 

[Dazzle84]

It was Kyle Walker, the only defensive presence we had across two legs

 

[Chi-town blues]

mahrez

 

[Lauz9888]

Voted for Bernie.

Special mention for Kyle who proved in that first half exactly why he's City and England's best right back. But we should have taken him off when he was clearly knackered at around 60 mins, whether he wanted to keep playing or not. Being tired meant making worse decisions, which meant pushing himself too far and perhaps making that ankle injury worse.

Rodri also pretty good while he was on.

Mahrez scored a nice goal and did a decent job tracking back I thought, but didn't offer a huge amount else throughout the match.

Grealish continues to show flashes of what he'll be for us eventually.

Everyone else, plenty of endeavour but just a little bit raggedy.

 

[Lauz9888]

It was Kyle Walker, the only defensive presence we had across two legs

I thought you said "with two legs"!

 

[Dr Quincy]

Bernardo tonight. Our captain on the pitch.

 

[mosssideblue]

Bernardo and Walker

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Kyle & Bernie.

Gone for Kyle as he played as we would through the pain.

 

[M Gaudino]

Cancelo was very poor. On a number of occasions he could have cleared the ball properly but just kept try to chip it forward and gave it away, putting us under pressure. I think one of the goals came as a result.

not sure i agree. as soon as he switched to right back Vinicius did feck all. and their goals came down their right from his vacated position

 

[Eccles Blue]

I wanted to vote for Kyle but I felt Bernie needs the boost. Sorry Kyle.

 

[Cellarite]

Two comedians voting for Ederson.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

The goals weren’t Zinchenko’s fault . Thought he had a good game there but the support from midfield switched off.
Don’t agree that Cancelo snuffed out the danger on the right, thought his defense was very poor.
Kept misjudging the flight of the ball and wrestled the man rather than winning the ball. I think he has a lot to learn defensively and not sure he ever will.
