Both penalties wrong.

Booked Foden and O'Reilly, didn't book Valverde, Bellingham and Asencio for making identical challenges. And Rudiger made the worst of the lot and avoided a 2nd yellow.

He was a mess tonight and he's usually excellent.

The Rudiger one maybe but he did dish out a lot of yellows correctly, to us too

Brilliant result, up the Blues, a win at the Bernabeu is always a phenomenal result. Bottom line.

Oreilly massive, Nico brilliant, Doku a torment, Nunes also very good. The centre halves were good after they settled. Unsure Haaland had his best day

First half an hour was defined by how badly City used their aggression, it seemed willing but totally misplaced and mistimed.

Importantly, we got caught in possession facing our own goal FIVE times in the first half, and none in the second. That was a big change, moving it better, cutting out the dither. You should never ever dither against Madrid.

Final point: I am a little uncomfortable about the drop off from first XI to subs now, it seems the most prominent in recent seasons. Hopefully a few more squad players can step up.

have just started giggling at your spelling of O'Reilly since if reminded me of that hapless builder in Fawlty Towers who Manuel called Orelly. Don't know why but would be because I live thus club do much.
What a result
 
fantastic result even if we were hanging in there slightly,let’s not forget a lot of these players have never played in Madrid in this type of game and it’s still a youngish team..just a few tweaks needed with the midfield and defence and we are in a great place..
 
Great result, certainly wasn't expecting that after the first half an hour or so, we did well to hang on in there. We were better in the second half but we need to sort out the midfield, Gonzalez again on his own working his socks off.
Their finishing, for once against us was poor, O'Reilly reacted well for his goal and I was holding my breathe when Haarland was taking the penalty.
Hope that's the last time we see them for a good few years, I can't abide them, everything about them is awful, the club, the fans and the players. I have a special loathing for that thug rudiger. He should have had a second booking, O'Reilly was booked for something completely innocuous compared to his shove on Sav that wasn't even deemed a foul.
Oh, one more thing, I despise rudiger.
 
I thought Savinho did well tonight. He ran down the clock a lot. Provided moments of brilliance. Also provided moments of running out of ideas.
