Bayern Munich (H) - CL QF | Post Match Thread

[Fordyboy46]

Exactly mate, we only have to see the sense of media disbelief which has greeted our win last night?

They hoped it was never coming, but reality is dawning. Win it this year and they have nowhere else to go, absolutely nowhere, aside from future rabble-rousing, FFP hit-pieces.

We've been the best team in the world for the last five years and we need to underscore it now.

Don't get me wrong, I've felt all season we could win the treble, but if we keep our heads next week in Munich, I think we will be going all the way.

And don't ask me why but I feel Chelsea will surprise us all and beat Real over two legs

The German press is blaming a chilly, wet and windy night in Manchester.
Bet they're glad they don't ever have to play Stoke then.

Yep, it never rains in Munich, never

An absolutely brilliant performance. We've matured so much & now look right at home at the top end of European football.

We allowed Bayern the ball in their half, but aside from Leroy's long-range efforts, we were mainly comfortable. We did to Bayern, what the elite teams used to do to us.

It's pointless highlighting individual players, because to a man we were exceptional. Ederson pulled off several good saves in horrible conditions & gave us confidence in defence. The slight tweak with Stones playing CB, stepping into midfield worked a treat.

In reality, we could have won by 5 or 6 but 3 will more than do. We're only at halftime, & Bayern are at home in the return leg, so the final result of the tie isn't a given. However, Bayern will be more than aware that we're as capable of scoring at the Allianz as they are.

Hopefully KDB's OK. Pep said it was a tactical substitution & not an injury. I'd have rather face Leicester last weekend before a possible new manager bounce, but it is what it is. Roll on Saturday...

And this is why you shouldn,t be worrying about Arsenal, Pep and the boys know what they have to do and are giving it there all, happy days (if a bit nerve wracking at times) :-)

Nope. They can't defend and over two legs, it will be too much to ask.

I want Madrid.

Talked with his feet all night and showed he’s the best CB on the planet.

A truly wonderful performance and all the lads put a great shift in.

I do personally, and I'm sure we'll pay them back in spades this time round

It's football & anything can happen. Arsenal are the real deal deal. I'm not worried about them, it's more a respect for how they've played this season & me not underestimating their ability to become Champions.

It's really simple. We need to win all our games. Lose any & it's all but over... \0/

Bless their little hearts.

Hilarious. Thanks for this!

I thought I saw him in the bread aisle this morning?

My mistake, it said thick cut.

Brilliant!

Kimmich spent a lot of his 5ime eating grass tbh.

Are you sure that wasn't his anagram brother, Kimmchi..?

Bloody hell i've been to livelier wakes, if thats what passes for a rousing speech in Germany i,d like to see when their depressed.

Its the German sense of humour.

Alvarez had an immediate impact when he came on . He looks like cross between Tevez and Kun.

Our lot need to get that monkey off their back when they shit the bed in the last moments of the 90 minutes in Madrid. Will probably be them if we manage to better Munich next week.

One take away from last night is City played well in the home leg against Madrid last year, however every time they scored Madrid were allowed back into it. Bayern never got that chance, hopefully we can keep that going if we get through as we all know what Madrid’s attacking capability is like. The foot race between Fernandinho and Vinicius still gives me nightmares.

Big big Big mistake to think this tie is over. One of the best teams in Europe and historically one of the most experienced and successful. 100% concentration needed next week as they will try every dark arts technique in the book. No retaliation City. Walk away. Let the ref deal with the indiscretions. If he doesn't, just keep calm and carry on. Hit them on the break and take your chances. Well played though City. Credit to every one of you. I felt very proud to be a Blue last night. From Gillingham at Wembley to Munich for a place in the champions league last four. Fantastic club.

Agree mate, do what needs to be done and that's it.

Well, they used to have more rousing speeches back in the day ;)

 

[Dax777]

They (Bayern) need to score 4 more than City to win the tie, or 3 to go to pens.
Can you see this happening?
I can't.

I couldn't see us scoring 3 more than them in a game either. And yet here we are :)

 

[train man]

Bless their little hearts.

Wow, dunno where that was but it seemed like he gate-crashed a huge funeral and delivered a Bayern eulogy, maybe he did!

"We went 1-0 down to a long-range effort".
Hmmm, would that be Rodri's world-class beautifully curled THUNDERBASTARD then Oliver..??

Delaney is a bitter , twisted little man , he will not sleep a wink tonight and if he does he will have to set his alarm an hour earlier to hate everything MCFC a little lonnger , pathetic excuse of a journalist.

had the misfortune to see his match report this morning. The picture was the Germans banner banging on about owners. Didn't bother reading on..
