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

[skillman]

idk i feel like while he did look up I want him to fucking twat it top corner leave the keeper no chance.. I feel like those "let me see where the keeper is going" always backfire because they can't actually decide that quickly

When he first joined he used to twat it in. No fucking about, no finesse - then he changed technique. Football is so much about stats and numbers nowadays that I assume there’s a reason but I’m like you, I’d rather see him smash it!

 

[daztrueblue91]

Cherki has been impressive so far. You can see he has the technical ability to demand the ball and keep it under pressure.

Would like to see more of that from Foden.

 

[stan bowles]

More like Dick Turpin, this ref.

 

[Franny 1234]

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

Pardon

 

[eyalluvitt]

Rudiger is up there amongst the most horrible footballers to ever have graced the game.

Should have been in jail for what he did to KDB in the CL final, animal

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I hate Madrid so much I’m itching watching them.

I think I'm the same. The levels of detest are the same as for Rags and Dippers. They are absolute tw£ts of the first degree.

 

[jamielowndes]

Spanish broadcasters really don't feel the need to show anything City related.

There'll be tv packages of all the fouls this ref has ever given against Madrid arguing he should never be allowed to ref a Real game again. I have a friend who grew up in the Basque country, that's normal behaviour in the Spanish media.

 

[discopop]

McCoist brrrrriliant save by the keeper, McCoist also a player as good as Haaland should have side footed it from where it came from into the net

 

[Gobshiight]

Real are gonna lose their heads completely in the 2nd half, I can sense it

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I hate Madrid so much I’m itching watching them.

It's like a team of twats. Salah would love it there

 

[Gabriel]

Really need to trust the academy more. O’Reilly is head and shoulders the best performer on the park.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Some second half ahead. Despite some, I think these officials have this under control. They know what’s about to occur.

Come on City!

 

[roach3]

Just Bernie & doku not in it for me. One of them to come off.

Well done city great come back

Doku scaring em to death despite his poor finishing but Bernie yeh def weak link but pep won’t take him off.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Got to be very careful this 2nd half as these are going to try everything underhand to get back into it

Cant afford any silly fouls in and around the box, pulling shirts etc

Will be interesting to see how tough we are in the next 45 minutes as this will be a right battle now, could be season defining if we can see it through

 

[Pablo123]

Rudiger and Ascensio biggest pair of shithouses you ever will see .

 

[lefty goldblatt]

After all that early pressure, well riden out City

 

[heslops barnet]

Nico is helping me get over no John Boy!! ;-)

Not sure Johnny boulders is the answer here

 

[Gaz76]

They going to implode in the changing room at half time, we need to come out strong, get a nice early goal in the second half and this could be a cricket score

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Think the goal settled us a bit.

We seemed really nervous for the first half an hour.

Hopefully we can be more composed now we know we can hurt them.

 

[dublin-blue]

I can see why Spanish teams detest this lot. Every decision goes their way. The ref had to be dragged kicking and screaming to award our pen but didn't blink at their call
