Match Thread | Man City vs. Real Madrid (17/04/24)

[Chak19]

Should've never went to extra time but I'm not surprised, we haven't beaten a top side in 90 minutes this season, even at the Etihad.

 

[phargrave]

If it goes to Pens we’re fucked!

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Yep but we've been here before with this set of absolute shithouses...

And the ref has started buying their shithousery....

 

[chris85mcfc]

Madrid look shattered just got to keep moving them around and create one big chance for one of our main men

Come on blues

 

[hilts]

Think he has been good today in his general play and hopefully that bodes well for his form

Lucky to not be subbed tbh, let's hope he gets the winner in extra time.

*subbed

 

[jollylescott]

Good sub Julian

 

[Dawsenna]

Madrid are playing like Liverpool played against us for years.

They absolutely are not ? What game you watching

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I think extra time should suit us given how tired they look and how we wear teams down. Cheating cunts.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Come on blues. These lot are like the Spanish version of Stoke.

Put them to the sword.

 

[Blue warrior]

We look the fresher physically just hope mentally we don’t get hit on the break.

Madrid small time defensive cunts, the lads have had a good crack at them this half just pray we do them. We are going to be shattered for Saturday.

 

[blueballs84]

Still yet to beat at decent team in 90 mins.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Haaland needs to fucking step up and be counted

Sadly he has all heart and limited ability really. Fantastic from ball over the top. Sadly we are never going to play a team who gives us that option.

 

[brummie blue]

Haaland off for Alverez.

 

[Blu1]

Well done pep big sub that

 

[Haaland94]

Serious issues here. I have run out of alcohol and Mrs has her pyjamas on.

Same here. Finished the beers, 0,5 of smirnoff gone. Missus in bed.

 

[RayCTID]

Keep plugging away and see what happens. If we do go we had a right go in defending our Champions League title and there are 2 more competitions up for grabs.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Haaland off. Hope that doesn't give their defenders more space to focus on others. Even when Haaland doesn't do much, he occupies the entire defence.

 

[M14Exile]

Now I can say that I'm going for Eddie to be the shoot-out hero. Saving two of them

Please no not penalties, it's my birthday 69. If it came to pens no way I'm seeing 70.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Do not want penalties get this done blues come on

 

[Mancity1980]

Why?

Extra time tends to be defensive followed by the lottery of pens. That swings the odds towards Real, we were in control for most of normal time.
