Bayern Munich (A) | Post Match Thread

[SamBlue]

This has been some ultra-old-school performance, harking back to nineties. After six years of some horrible disappointments, Pep abandoned his inner Cruyff and embraced Serie A football approach from its heyday. Bernardo very good in the first half, Gundo in the second. Rodri invisible but always there where he needed to be. Akanji has been playing a few levels above what he ever did for Dortmund, even with some odd mistake. Ake survived the first twenty minutes and he was okeish after. But Dias was MOTM for me, for mustering defence and same crazy blocks as always. Kev wasn't his usual self, which is strange considering his claims he's been feeling totally fit. But again, it was him and Haaland who made our goal. Great night!

Another Champions League Semi Final...

I'll have that for a dollar!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Bernie you fucking STAR!!!

 

[chesterbells]

What a fucking hero Bernardo is!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

great performance by the lads,

but the referee liked waving that yellow card, I even think the tea lady got booked

At least he was even handed, that's not always been the case for us in the cl.

 

[Manx Blue]

Thought that was a very mature performance by us.

As someone who looks at penalties objectively, I thought both were incredibly poor decisions.

 

[blue whippet]

Well done City. It was a hard watch mostly because I really wanted to go through. Bernardo looks tiny in his interview.

 

[Gobshiight]

Shoutout as well to whoever it was that compared Dias to Tal Ben Haim in the match thread

Those threads are mental

 

[madloaf]

As long as you don't hug him like the guy from 'Of Mice and Men'.

I have enough self control....i think.

 

[WestGorton]

I welled up listening to Bernarrrddddooooo. Please stay you little sod

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn't give in, they fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You did us proud and you showed 'em, you showed 'em all. Especially that lot over there, especially the (allegedly) corrupt CL Officials and very much especially the biased, two faced, Specsavers needing, rotten media.
They give us no credit but boy oh boy do we show them.

Good game John Boy you did well.

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

[I'm Blue]

Oh that was Bernardo doing the interview, I thought it was one of their kids.
‘Ickle Bernie’

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Will the first leg against Madrid be at their ground? Feel like if we have the 2nd leg at home we have a good chance of getting to Istanbul

first is away....so i hear, happy days!

 

[Dazzle84]

Gutted we didn't hold on for the win, and Ake injury is a worry.

Dias stepped up second half and we showed plenty of smarts.

Thought Rodders, Kev and Gundo were well off it tonight?

C'mon City!

I've been critical of De Bruyne this season but I thought he did a good job tonight, he was a decent outball and got the assist. Agree on Gundo

 

[Ducado]

It was a pragmatic performance, I thought we got the tactics just right, it was great watching it unfold

 

[SiMCFC]

I didn't look at the fixtures for fear of jinxing things but I'm in Menorca on Holiday with the Family for both legs of the semi, just told the Wife I might be flying over to Spain from Mahon for the night and she thinks I'm joking...

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Bernie must have picked the short straw.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

BT spent pre match and most of the game bogging up Munich yet as soon as it came to last few minutes suddenly it was all about how good we were. Twats. Shame about Ak, hope it’s not too bad but looks like Laporte will have a job to do next few weeks at left back. Hope we can put a decent side out on Saturday as we barely got out of second gear tonight.

Oh the rags won’t be happy with camel fuck with that.
