Match Thread | Real Madrid vs. Manchester City (10/12/25)

Madrid there. One pass out of defence and bang, they're in on goal. With us it's two passes and someone standing on the ball while we wait for Madrid to get back in position.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Got himself into a poor position with his back to goal on his heels. He’ll learn

I wouldn't blaming a kid for that. Only 1 blue player fuked us there

 

[01cravend]

Don't think Haaland has ever turned up vs Rudiger... fully shirks the battle

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Why? What's on saturday?

Songs of praise.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Even the worst version of Madrid look too good for us, Sunderland they ain’t

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Have we played a worst opening half an hour all season? Can't make a forward pass, can't win a tackle and mistake central.

Far far too passive need to just have a go here

 

[Franny 1234]

Obviously what the fuck bernardo
But a world class keeper must atleast get a hand to that

 

[Dax777]

Should’ve signed him

Fod 1 goal on 32? No!

 

[B\connellblue]

Donarumma should have saved that too. Poor goalkeeping

 

[deano ou812]

Pep probably frightened the players to death bigging Madrid up

 

[Blu1]

Rodrigo one of the best wingers in Europe and nobody is marking him …. NOR is nowhere

He’s too busy trying to get forward. It’s nuts

 

[Lemon7277]

Shall we just right it off now

 

[ufo]

Where’s the card ?

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Why? What's on saturday?

We aren't playing.

 

[blue moony]

Looking forward to seeing savinhio and lewis come on at 70 mins

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

This has been pathetic from Pep. It's as if he's done Alonso a favour by saying, we'll setup exactly how you want us to setup so you can rinse us. Let's have Bernardo Silva playing as a false 9 pointlessly chasing shadows and have nobody in midfield. Let's throw O'reilly high up at every opportunity bearing in mind we have no midfield. And as if that wasn't a crazy enough idea, let's attack at walking pace despite throwing everybody forward. Just an insanely amateur setup.

The walking pace may not be on Pep (although it might), but I agree with the rest of the summary

 

[MCFC1993]

Madrid's quick free kick before when Valverde was still down, allowed.

Our quick free kick, denied.

This is a shambles.

 

[Damanino]

Celta Vigo had a better gameplan here few days ago. let alone result...

we wont even threaten their keeper in first half.

 

[waspish]

Watch the Madrid triggers when we lose the ball or they win it in there half there are runners left right down the middle a quick long pass we are in big trouble!

 

[decmancity]

Fucking woeful that. Old man Bernardo getting wheeled out again and bullied by a kid, then we let them run unopposed the length of the pitch before Nico gives the lad all the time in the world.
