I thought the whole back 4 as a unit were superb, especially first 20 when they had no protection and it was gangbusters. But also last 15 when we sured it up.

Bar their goal, which I thought was soft, the defence was indeed very good, particularly our right hand side. Would have liked our breaks in the last 30 minutes to have been a little more clinical. But 3 points away in the CL is always a very good performance.

It was the inconsistency in using his cards. I thought Foden's was probably deserved as there was no attempt to play the ball and it exceeded the 'careless' criterion. But there were a number of similar tackles by Madrid players that merited cards that weren't given. Even the commentators were surprised by his reluctance to get his card out for some of the Madrid fouls.

There were at least two by Rudiger that should have been yellow, including an off-the-ball incident involving Cherie, and other players committing multiple fouls that weren't carded. There was a tackle on Doku late on that was at least as bad as Foden's that wasn't carded yet O'Reilly was booked for something relatively innocuous. That's what the bent **** did wrong and if you couldn't see it then I'd recommend a trip to your nearest Specsavers.

3 yellows each, that is more that enough.

It wasn't a particularly dirty game and maybe some players didn't get booked who could have, whereas some that did could be considered unlucky.

If too many cards are dished out the game can become a farce.

I probably missed a lot on the "stream" and as we all know, incidents against us or in our favour are not normally re shown.

Rudiger was lucky not to see red but overall we can't complain about the big decisions.

Compare it to Newcastle away where we were well and truly done over.

That was an absurdly wank Madrid side.

Didn’t find us anything like convincing but you cannot sniff at a win at the Bernabeu.

Thought Nunes our best player.

I was there last night and that ground and home crowd is an unbelievable advantage. They could have been a lot shitter than they are and still given us a game.

Rudiger should start every game on a yellow.

Genuine question for you. There is an odd phenomenon here in France, which I've often noticed. In the bars, regardless of their local affiliation, people will just automatically support PSG, if they're playing. Is it the same in Spain? It's odd because, if LIverpool are playing, I will most definitely support the other team, unless they happen to be called Real, or Bayern (and even then, since Vin's been there, I've developed a softer spot for them, even though I dislike the club fairly intensely. In fact, I was most definitely rooting for Bayern in ’99).
Actively, I won't be supporting any other English club, even against foreign opposition.

Disagree

Was at the Game :0)

Referee totally inconsistent and erratic!!!

Valvarde should have been on a booking, before he got booked!!!!

Foul on Doku in the corner, 2nd Half!!!

Every RM player got a Free hit on a City player, sometimes Two before any chance of a booking???

NOR booked, fair enough??

5 minutes later RM sub/defender did the same thing outside their box, nothing!!!

And this was after, he had taken Savinho out, attempting a break out, again unpunished.

I could go on & on & on & on!!!!

The only thing that made up for the bad refereeing was the win and 3 points!!! :0)
