[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn't give in, they fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans.
You showed 'em lads, you showed 'em all. Every single one of them has to appreciate now that we are:
MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. :-) ;-)

We never beat them away. We never beat them at home.

What a weird game. Poor for the first half hour, could easily have been 2/3 down. Then nicked a goal and looked dangerous often but wide open and asking for trouble at times. They're a shadow of their former self, luckily. Great result, not a great performance but a win away in the Bernabeu is decent.

We desperately need Rodri back or find a DM in January, if we are going to challenge for either of the big prizes this season!!

What does nico have to do for you to rate him, hes outstanding.

Weird game tbh,far from our best but beat real Madrid in their own back yard while looking comfortable.
Referee was a joke,how rudiger didn't get a 2nd yellow will be one of life's mysteries.
Very happy tonight,come on the blues.

gonzalez in midfield is getting better and better every game, going to be special for us this lad

 

[madloaf]

Quite enjoyed that

Enjoyed is not the word I'd use!

Buzz
Ing.
P.s.bellingham's a piss flap.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Fantastic win. O Reilly really making a name for himself. Have we appointed a new set piece coach?

You wait ages for a goal from a corner then two come together.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Fucking have that you Madridista twats.

Suck on those apples Bellingham you fucking donkeys yawn.

 

[TheKippaxM14Blue]

Should be a great confidence boost. Not the same level as previous games between the sides. A win there is still gold dust regardless of the situation

 

[simon23]

great result and a dogged performance against a team who just try to cheat at every opportunity.

Nico G again in midfield was pivotal and NOR was great ....Doku never stopped trying

We werent at our best (we were much sharper against Sunderland) and Madrid were poor except on the breakaway but all that matters in the CL is the result.

Subs werent great again....Pep now clearly knows his preferred 11 and I dont think there is much room for changing that in any position at present as there is a drop off in class the moment we start to make subs.

Wonder if Slime Ball Stone wants to run a scoop on City’s academy player scoring a winning goal in the Bernabau pmfsl

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Nunes best game in a City shirt

Yes he's been up and down, but I've always though he's a class act. Superb tonight.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Thank goodness for VAR. The ref was doing his best to screw us over there

If he was going to do that he could have stuck to his decision for the Haaland penalty. There were a few dodgy tackles from both sides very near the edges of the penalty area.
Got the Nunes one wrong but VAR used correctly and over ruled.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Que?

 

[Double R]

Superb
Nico G seriously needs some support in midfield though, was immense tonight.
Some great performances

Really looking forward to him partnering Rodri.

 

[discopop]

Lmao city fans know Stevie slip is in the stadium and giving it that song

 

[Tolmie scores]

I’m so glad Bellingham didn’t come here. What a twunt. I don’t believe a single exasperated facial expression he makes. He’s just in it for himself & everything is for the cameras.

He has his head down too much as well..top players scan, and have the head up when still keeping hold of the ball... he doesn't, big weakness for a midfield player - wish Liverpool had bought him! O'Reilly though what a game, and Doku..again...after his first 15 mins of looking shaky .. he was immense. Well done blues - unexpected win out there tbf ..makes up for Pep's fk up at home last time. One thing for sure though is that we do not have anywhere like 2 x competitive 11's... key players out we are pretty average.. I know Rodri is hard to replace but his calmness, leadership by doing the simple things well..we miss him terribly
