Inter Milan (N) | Champions League Final | Post Match Thread

[Bluewonder]

I'm not the greatest fan of BT Sport or their coverage, but I think the full time remarks of their lead commentator (Darren Fletcher?) deserve some recognition, because they are brilliant.

"And they've done it, they've done it, Manchester City have done it. Once, twice, three times a champion, champions of Europe finally, history made in Istanbul, the treble complete, the greatest story in club history has an ending, and what a final chapter!"

Is he the one who said "Manchester rain will taste like champagne"?

Did you stay in your seat on row 4 or did you move as you thought you might have to?

Stayed. Just turned round and watched the screen to see what happened.

I can confirm this is misinformation - Twitter said city supporters didn't celebrate.....

The sheer volume of boiled piss is magical

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Of all the analysis this covered it perfectly. Pep goal indeed. I know something was going to happen when Grealish and Silva tucked inside leavi my wide positions.

Who needs more than 30 seconds to understand how a game will be played?

Ruben Dias was fucking sensational, Didn't put a foot wrong all night. Just watched the game again after the parade...He was fucking immense, He makes difficult situations look so easy. What a player.

Best tactical review of the match.

Pep is genius.

I heard us being slated on ESPN like are we even the winners?! Winning when not our best is sign of champions.
We have come along way. Still sinking in!

Champions of Europe!!

Interesting comment towards the end where he says pep gets accused of over-thinking but you can't over-think football at the top level as it's so complex.
One other point critics keep missing: We may have got lucky towards the end but we had a couple of good chances early on and another for Phil while it was 1-0. Eddie didn't make a save in the first half; their keeper did.

Haaland chance in the first half along with Bernardo shot just flashing past the post and Foden through on goal...We did have opportunities to be at least 2-0 up and out of sight.
Eddie was only really tested late on in the game. We were nervous in the game which is understandable but we played a good game and deserved winners.

Just want to say a huge thank you to everybody involved at the club from top to bottom for giving us everything we ever dreamed of and more. Can’t wait to do it all again next season.

Does any one know what the record is called?

Although on the Friday night b4 the game there was a Twitter video of fans singing in Istanbul and the chant was "Gundo's on fire' it was brilliant.

Coppers were bang out of order. Surprised not to hear about any of it in the mainstream media. Some complaints should definitely be filed.

Met a great lad called 'Sykesy' at Halkali train station, hope you got your flight back okay if you're on here

I get they were blocking the road and needed to be moved.
Also that cop car didn’t look to clever but there was no need to start swinging batons about.
Plus that woman copper that kicks the girl just sat on the grass needs sacking, maybe even charging with assault.
For every good copper there’s twats like these and that’s why for a large part they are hated and get no respect.

Without doubt, that was more than heavy handed it was an assault

 

[Grassland Blue]

I hope that Bernie realises that there is no better place to showcase his talents and re signs until Peps' contract is up.
I also hope that Gundog can have a bit of a re think and meet the club half way.
Both of these players need to be part of our squad going forward.

De Marco header very similar chance the Bernie’s 2nd against Madrid. It needs a bit more delicacy. Shows the superbly high skill levels of our players…and the fine margins!
