Allez, les grenouilles!

I'm with Shearer on that. Taking it into the corner is gamesmanship at it's most egregious.

We have done it on a few occasions, most notably against the rags, and egregious or not I have always enjoyed the end result. Bet Barca wish they had done it now.

Alan Shearer said ' egregious'??

Why aye man.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

At 2-2 it looked like Barca would steamroller them as they looked tired and out on their feet and no threat whatsoever. Sloppy passes and constantly giving the ball away in their own half. God knows how they won

Think it’s just their year. They should’ve gone out against Bayern and again last night. They’ll get outplayed in the final and somehow win it

 

[B\connellblue]

Yeah people slag our wingers but no way Jack has a shot there (or ever) but he takes into the corner and game over and then on the piss

It was hardly yamals fault that the defender put in a pussy challenge rather than cleaning the attacker out. Grealish is finished here ,the sooner he's gone the better.

Because their manager did Pep substitutions as if he was playing a relegated side down to 100 men and had an important champions league game the day after. Taking Ormo off was criminal.

Everyone rooting for Inter last night may be in for a rude awakening when Arsenal inevitably stroll past them in the final.

Olmo doesn’t have the stamina for 90 minutes it’s always been like this . Zagreb, Leipzig and now Barcelona

I just don't think they'd handle a game where they're not the underdogs. Arsenal vs Inter would be considered relatively even and they'd collapse.

Edit: Would happily be proven wrong though.

 

[paulchapo]

Inter didn’t do shit until the last 15 minutes of the 2nd half . They got outplayed but still won

They contributed to a magnificent game of football and in spite of being outplayed at times found the resilience to still win. Picking holes in such a game is just churlish, if you have no affiliation to either side you just sit back and enjoy every second.

 

[NLW Blue]

Inter's name has to be on the cup with the luck they had last night.
It was brilliant game and credit to both teams for going for it.
It reminded me of the City V Spurs Champions League game at the Etihad, with goals flying in every few mins.

? weird take in the first half they scored 2, wasn't troubled by Barca at all and could have had a couple more goals as well. Second half they defended like Italian teams do but conceeded twice then decided to attack again and then it was one way traffic with multiple chances to add more goals

Off legs off arms... Goals flying in everywhere

And having the highest average age in a semi ever. Some feat that last night. Who says aging players can't do it anymore.

Inter have kind of made a mockery of Kyle Walker on his podcast saying serie a is a level down from the prem and the teams are gash

 

[liambrady]

Was attacked before and after the game by these wankers, very threatening especially the journey back to Istanbul on the train..... an experience I will not forget trust me .....yes it made me very sad !, myself and friends and family should have been enjoying a joyful occasion .

Fuck em !

Probably they were infiltrated stupid rioters in disguise.

------------
Yesterday, it was first time for me yelling for goals and saves since 2010. Now, come what may, only hope to play against PSG or Arsenal with our best starting lineup and no physical or mental weariness (this season was a disaster for us under this point of view).
Thanks to you all, City fans. Hope to see your team a serious competitor again soon, maybe already next summer in this new WC trophy for clubs.

They were heavily outplayed if we are being honest

It’s called professionalism. Him shooting last night arguably cost them a place in the final.

Just think if we’d used game management against the rags, Brighton away etc. we may be onto our 5 title instead of chucking silly points away.
