Match Thread | Man City vs Real Madrid (17/05/23)

We want 6!

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Not unrealistic to think we should be at least 4 nil up. Dont change a thing lads. Same again. Only thing they can do is stay the same or go attacking. They do that we get the space. They go defensive then we win at a canter.

 

[SWP's back]

it’s not the headline of that half but Walker going toe to toe with Vinicius and just brushing him off like a child was a very important part of that half.

Vinicius will be carrying that around all night and it’ll put doubt in his mind when he gets his chance to counter

Walker’s pace against him there was mental. No idea how his legs are still that fast.

This is a huge 45 minutes coming up now, I hope we don't change much to soon. Keep doing what has been working and stick to the plan,

If we were to go out from here i don't think i would ever get over it :)

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Camavinga has had a nightmare. 2-0 is not a fair reflection of the game, should have been 3 or 4 nil.

 

[bluemoon32]

Bring Haaland on 2nd half....

 

[walker_is_faster]

Probably the best performance I've ever seen.
Not just by city but anyone

And against Real Fucking Madrid

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

They'll try the shock and awe effort 2nd half.

Play our game. Get ready to be sharp from the off. If they don't raise their game, then we'll get another load of chances from the sheer quality and speed we put out.
If they do, we can hit them on the counter a few times, control it in their half on others to manage the pace.

Right Bernie has had his halftime brew time for him to get his 3rd now .

 

[vmsuhail]

the way he scored with that header says a lot

Bernardo scoring headers against Bayern and Madrid. Incredible.

 

[Centurions]

Who ???

Who??? She's only a Sky senior reporter don't you know.


Also a scouse lover who usually can't wait to put the boot in.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

ANYONE who has a complaint, or complained, during/after that first half needs to find another sport!!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Finish the job boys you deserve it

 

[OntarioBlue]

It just shows you how Real Madrid somehow manage to overccome the odds every time though. In a half where they had 20% possession and completed 25 passes in the first 25 minutes they still somehow managed to hit the crossbar.

Keep killing them City. When you think they're dead, keep going. When you're absolutely sure they're dead, keep going.

And when they finally stop breathing shoot them then again just to be sure

 

[Thornliebank]

Modrić is a spectator, we have been that dominant.

 

[Haaland94]

Camavinga has had a nightmare. 2-0 is not a fair reflection of the game, should have been 3 or 4 nil.

Ruined by our Bernie :).

Toe to toe? Kyle's absolutely dominating him here.

 

[BlueMooner87]

Soo proud of it all so far.

The spectacle looks amazing, wish I could have gotten a ticket to feel the atmosphere.

The performance has been superb, after haalands 2nd header was saved my arse was twitching thinking is it one of those nights but Bernie took hold.

Its such an amazing thing to see the desire by the team, I fucking love this club.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

We want 6!

I want 8.

 

[Kadour75]

It could have been five nil easily, they did not get a snif in the first half, very reminiscent of the Arsenal game.
