Bayern Munich (A) | Post Match Thread

[foggy1974]

1st half was nervy as hell, Haaland missing the pen & had visions of last seasons semi-final. The defence over both legs have been amazing

 

[OB1]

Two non penalties, in my opinion. But once he'd given ours, he was bound to give them their one, to avoid accusations of bias or inconsistency.

First was harsh but the player moved his arm from behind his back and diverted a shot.

Not sure what Akanji is supposed to do in that situation and his hand wasn’t in an unusual position, also not sure the ball wouldn’t have hit his body anyway but thankfully it was a minor annoyance.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Anyone got any idea when John Stones was looking so annoyed as he came off the pitch? Who upset him? Was it that Tuchel man? Was it that Mecano bloke? Was it the referee for giving that penalty?

If I find out they'll get the EB stare!!! ;-)

'Revenge will play a part against Real Madrid'​

FT: Bayern Munich 1-1 Man City (Agg 1-4)

Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender on BBC 5 Live
From a fan perspective they're denfitely thinking about that.
I think they know that going into that 90th minute last year they were going to the final again.
People will be desperate too go and see it.
If you are the team that beats Real Madrid in this competition you have to believe you can win it all.
Both semi-finals are fantastic in their own individual right, and I am looking forward to seeing this City one.

'We feel we have a chance in every competition'​

Bayern Munich 1-1 Man City (Agg 1-4)

Manchester City
Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, speaking to BT Sport: "We struggled until February because we couldn't get in that usual run we had before of winning 10-15 games in a row but now we are very consistent, we feel we have a chance in every competition and we are going for them.
"We are at that point of the season where if you drop your performance in one game you are out of a competition. It is going to be tough but we are going to work very hard to bring some titles home.
"Building win after win, that confidence, it is very important and we need to keep it that way."
On Erling Haaland: "Erling is a special player, a different player to what we had in the past. He doesn't need many touches. He is like a shadow for 85 minutes and touches the ball once it is a goal. When we have that special player in attack it makes us feel more comfortable at the back."
Revenge against Real Madrid? "Hopefully yes! We will go for it definitely. We always go for it but we feel the team is very, very confident at the minute. I think we are going through."

 

[Mancity1980]

Its 24 years since united won that treble, 4 days before we struggled to overcome Gillingham in a play off final to get out of the 3rd tier.

If anyone on 30th May 1999 thought we'd ever be in the position to equal that feat, fair play.

Wonderful times.

We have been in a position to equal that feat for the past 5 years.

 

[Nour]

So said the Arabian commentary.

He is so savage called him that when he had the bal

He's from Yorkshire. Being vexed is their default setting.

 

[doots]

Two non pens.
Two good goalkeeping/defensive performances.
ONE MAGNIFICENT TEAM.
CITY CITY CITY.
(great little interview from Bernado at the end too)

 

[eyalluvitt]

When you tell her two huge semi’s are on the horizon

 

[remember arthur mann]

Why did Leroy give Humphrey time of day.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I think you need to differentiate between flapping and on the other hand people simply commenting that we were playing poorly, which we were.

This fanny wipes swipe (made by a subsequent poster) is a lazy and frankly ridiculous criticism..I didn't see anyone panicking on the match thread.

I did

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

A thoroughly professional performance! We were as nervy as fuck at times in the first 35 minutes, but we kept our heads & saw out a sticky first half.

We remained solid, albeit Aké struggled throughout the first half as Coman was tearing him a second arsehole!

I wonder if Nathan had a strain pre-kick off ? He seemed slow to react & turn, especially in the first half, his injury is a worry for the Arsenal game, I don’t fancy Laporte there & Bernie had a right ding dong with Saka at their place

 

[Gray]

What a bollox penalty decision, the ball looked like it was out of play.

 

[doots]

Tuchel is a spice head.

 

[tommybooth]

Did what we had to. Did not need to chase the game. Comb over, you are such a bell end.

 

[Chippy_boy]

I did

Perhaps you should have paid more attention to the game.

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Eddie flopping with cramp had me in stitches, especially when I saw how much it wound Mane up.

As much as I slate Eddie sometimes he was class tonight, except for the silly yellow.

 

[SWPISHOME]

What a bollox penalty decision, the ball looked like it was out of play.

Put it aside fella no point getting wound up about it, Let it go.

Enjoy the moment of knocking out Bayern Munich.

 

[Nellies left peg]

When the fuck are they going to fit in the Brighton game, it can’t be after the final games of the league season as they all have to be played at the same time

 

[jimharri]

I don't think we can underestimate what a number we just did on one of the top 5-6 sides in Europe. That was fucking class. Yes, tonight we made some poor passes, looked nervy at times - but I fancy us to dick everyone at home - we just have to do a decent job at the bernabau. Not gonna be easy, but chelsea played thruogh them yesterday often - and if we're honest we battered them last year and were fucking unlucky/football madness from the final.

I don't know if we'll win, but we'll give it a good fucking go and that's all i want.
