thank God they had a very hard Atletico game 3 days ago and they missed their best defense in Alaba, Rudiger, Militao, Carvajal line. and that we played at home.
Pep was beaten badly but a not so great Real and honestly 2-4 or 2-5 would have been a more fair result based on pure number chances.
not looking forward to the 2nd leg after we will be given some tough running by Newcastle at the weekend.
we were good for around 25 mins but even in that period Real could have scored one or two.
we cannot defend 2nd halves vs decent sides this season. they raise the tempo a bit and we fall apart so easily.. absolute joke.
sadly we have Newcastle, Liverpool games coming up, and fucking hell they will raise the tempo too.
