All square. Game on for the decider at our place. Deserved a goal and dominated the first half. Roll on this weekend. Got to keep that momentum

 

[Gabriel]

They’re a good side and it’s going to be tough at the Etihad, too. Some tired bodies out there.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I think we’ve got several levels to go up next week. I think how that went tonight was exactly how Pep wanted. I would have came out swinging against them, but that would probably be naive considering we’ve got the home leg next week.

 

[feelymcfeel]

Happy with a draw there.

Great result, very mixed performance.

I feel like at the top of our game we can absolutely blow them away and that we played the occasion rather than them.

Anywhere near our best and we go through at home.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Alll things considered it was a damn good result they’ll be more upset with that result than us

The team is obviously feeling the toll of the season. Hopefully 4 days rest is enough!

I think we’ll have enough to beat them at ours!

Great game, albeit a bit cagey, between the two best teams in Europe who both scored screamers.

 

[mcfc_ms]

Excellent result, and excellent performance

Not sure why people thought we played average. We played one of the best teams in the world away from home, and controlled 60% of the match

 

[M Gaudino]

‘average performance’ does not recognise that they have just as good players as us.

Vinicius is probably the best player on either team. they have a ton of players who can smash it from distance which was their main threat.

And their defenders played Haaland to perfection.

Main concern is tiredness - they are nowhere in their league and can rest 8 or 9 at the weekend. we cant rest rodri, gundog, de bruyne and bernie at the weekend, maybe only one of them. they all looked exhausted in that heat.

Thought we played really well for the most part. Now that the emotion of the matchday thread is over, we have to realise we've gone to the bernabeu against the champions and gone absolutely toe to toe with them. Genuinely elite level stuff. I think we have them

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Phew! Toughest game of the season and first time I’ve seen us properly stressed since Klopp’s early Anfield days.

Not at our best and against a fantastic opponent. 1-1 is a fantastic result seeing how the game developed.

 

[knuckles]

Got to hate the cheating gits, shite ref, but a great result for us, we were miles better than them in the first half and for some of the second, got to be happy to bring them back to our place at 1-1

 

[borassic]

That’s the type of game we would have lost over the last few years. Stuck in it, even if we weren’t at our best. Really should turn these over at home.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Didn't see any of the game, but we'll take that result for sure. Was it a fair result?

 

[urban genie]

Great result, a win preferable but a draw was always a positive result

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Unbelievable result, alright granted not at our best tonight but dug in when it really mattered. Well done City!

 

[lust overlord]

Tough match in hot conditions,played ok for the most part.
They are a very dangerous side so 1-1 is a more than acceptable result away from home.

 

[Mancity1980]

Fair result and a good result.

 

[14aguero]

Just the first half. The second half to come.

 

[jamielowndes]

Rudiger is still a massive piece of shit.

Carjaval shouldn't be available for the second leg.

We didn't need to be incredible. We needed to not lose. It's a 90 minute semi final at our place now. Ours to lose.
