Real Madrid (A) | Post Match Thread

[axlgod]

Rudigers post match interview on bein. What a twat.

What did he say?

 

[Bez]

Good result. Real Madrid are dangerous. We can do it in the 2nd leg. Come on City!

 

[ShaunMCFC]

We’ve gone to the Bernabeu and got a decent draw and it’s like we’ve drawn at Southampton?

It’s not being “likkle citeh” mentality, it’s knowing who we are and where we’ve come from.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Anyone else notice the big mob of City top left when Kev scored, must’ve been half the block

 

[Irlamblue]

well played against a shit ref.

 

[daveiw01]

I didnt think the ref was bad at all. He was fair. Missed some things but he's human.

He was consistent, but let's be honest, they could have easily had 2 red cards.

 

[Chippy_boy]

I don't know how to feel about this. Yes, 1-1 is a decent result and keeps us well in it. And the Bernabeau is such an intimidating place.

But on the other hand, we played so far below our best. We controlled much of the game, but it was slow and laborious and creating very few clear cut chances. We had many opportunities to hit them fast on the break and took none of them, just passing backwards, or fucking it up. I sometimes feel Pep is strangling the life out of our players by drumming into them to not lose the ball under any circumstances. Grealish and Bernie typified this, hardly ever taking a man on, just passing backwards or cutting inside and passing sideways.

I said 3 years ago we would never win the CL whilst Pep is at the helm. Then we signed Haaland and I started to think yes maybe we might. Now I am having my doubts again. We SHOULD win the home leg, so fingers crossed we can step up and do so

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Absolutely great result that. The definition of a mature performance away from home, to Real Madrid

 

[Brendan110_0]

Great away performance. Got them where we want them, give them hell in the next leg! BT crying about the ball being out before our goal after Real regained possession then lost it with a shit pass lol.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Good result, now onto Everton.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

From the BBC....

What are the odds for success?​

FT: Real Madrid 1-1 Man City
Based on City's previous European two-legged knockout ties, starting with a 1-1 away draw in the first leg saw them progress to the next round on both occasions.
Based on all Real Madrid's previous European two-legged knockout ties, starting with a 1-1 home draw in the first leg saw them being eliminated in five of the previous six occasions.

Well that's it decided. Biggest jinx ever.

 

[Gabriel]

That Kev strike is as pure as you can hit a ball. Fucking hell.

Even in slow motion it rifles in

It’s always a good one when the player actually has both feet off the ground after they have struck the ball; you know he’s put everything into it.

 

[blue whippet]

Rudigers post match interview on bein. What a twat.

Don't have to see his interview to know that.

 

[red 2 hats]

Great result, let's raise the roof next week and smash em.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I'm watching BT do a total assassination of our goal, making so much of the ball going out.

 

[RobinHood]

I hope there’s a tv angle that proves it was out. Let’s wind them up.

Ha ha. That would be good.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Good result, fair play their goal was spectacular, but Kev’s was too.Onward we go

 

[The perfect fumble]

Delivering when it matters​

FT: Real Madrid 1-1 Man City
Big player, big goal.
Kevin De Bruyne has scored 11 of his 14 Champions League goals for Manchester City in the knockout phase.
No other City player has scored more in the knockout rounds than Haaland.

 

[malg]

Fair play to you all for sticking with it. That is possibly the worst 1st half refereeing performance I've ever seen. Absolutely shocking.

 

[David Kloppesh]

City just made Real play low block in Madrid
