Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Man_City_Loyal]

thought we were the better team.

Nobofdy had a bad game, although was suprised with the triple sub.

Didn't realise one of our countries major sports broadcasters was infact Real Madrid TV

And that ball by Donnarumma down the line to Doku - immense. Been saying for a few years - long before he joined us that Donnarumma has an excellent passing game. Not a sweeper keeper but he can ping the ball around to full backs accurately and consistently. Strikes the right balance between being an all-round brilliant GK and one who is decent with the ball at his feet. Unfair to compare his passing range with Eddie's - no-one comes close on that score.

Agree. And what he lacks in comparison to Eddie, he more than makes up for with his shot stopping ability.

Hablamé, you bullfighting tiny beer drinking olive scoffers

 

[NorCalBlue]

And nullified them to 1 shot on target

...which Donna would have saved 4 times out of 5.

Thoroughly deserved win - Courtois had 6 saves to Donna's 0.

Nunes,Nico,NOR and Doku worked their socks off. Has Haaland changed his penalty technique

Baloteli had a word with him

 

[KS55]

We may have some technical shortcomings but we lack nothing in spirit. They play for the shirt and they play for each other.
Marvellous.

Feared the worst when we went behind, but it spurred the team on, Gvardiol seems to have remembered how great he is on corners in the last few weeks, & is causing havoc in the box.
Rudiger was his usual dirty fouling self, & was rightly penalised.
I just wish it’d been more emphatic!

 

[Blue tiger]

Still blows my mind when we beat clubs like Madrid, and the other European giamts. Gotta be 90s City PTSD. Great result against a snide Madrid. Not seen a team dive,cheat and moan like that since Mourinho's early 2000s Porto side.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just weird. Why is he even like this?

 

[heslops barnet]

The ref was a cnut. How was that twat Rudiger not sent off for a second bookable offence. The reason bent officials.

Ref was intimidated by the occasion and the fans

 

[heslops barnet]

Yes but this is reamadree we're talking about, they are like mancheshireyooniti.
My point was that every tourist fan and every media tosser, fuck everyone says they are the best. If we had lost tonight, everyone would have wanked over them. Because we won its not how good we were but how poor they were.
Let's not talk about how bad they were, leave that to the sycophants.

Always the same when we beat any media favourites

 

[Debaser]

Just weird. Why is he even like this?

Because he's been repeatedly and constantly allowed to get away with it. If you allow bad behaviour to go unpunished you end up with, well, look around

 

[Bluekiwi]

Just weird. Why is he even like this?

So what did the ref do?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

So what did the ref do?

Sweet fuck all.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Ref was intimidated by the occasion and the fans

9th time in the CL he’s reffed them and 1st defeat

 

[surprisedbygrass]

TNT coverage was so biased . And that referee. .....Is he Trossard's uncle ? Takes a United fan on You Tube to call it out and give credit where credit's due to The Two Nicos. The absolute state of things ...

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

Who’s the English team here? Fuck off Mcmanaman you prick

Mrs JYF - who isn’t British -was in the living room but not watching the game. She asked me what language he was speaking and why did each sentence begin with white noise.
She then mimicked him for the next 20 minutes or so.

 

[Bluekiwi]

Sweet fuck all.

Should have been an instant red card for off the ball - how can any )non-corrupt) organisation overlook incidents such as that

Even if she went on ti give him praise, I turned it off after 30seconds when she said Nico had been labelled a panic buy and a flop…

I’ve not seen anyone anywhere say Nico was a panic buy and a flop. He got MOTM in his very first game for us, after which he started 8 of our next 9 PL games and he played well in all but the Liverpool away defeat.

I think he was one of the main reasons we settled down as a team in the second half of last season after that shit run in November and December.

He’s made the saying ‘it takes a year to settle in under Pep at City’ look like a myth.
