Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Real Madrid (17/03/26)

[colorado blue]

Not seen replays of our two penalty shouts. We’re either close?

 

[super_city_si]

The ref and vinicius, luckily hitlers already dead

Tell Vini jr to stand behind the ref and shoot them twice

 

[iTyler]

Why is Stones not starting? He’s still our best CB when fit.

 

[platty7]

Vini Junior, the ref, Hitler and you only had 2 bullets?

2 for vini to make sure

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Hes correct. Wipe your gash

Another one not here, I presume so you can do one as well.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

W

Can’t fault the lineup from Pep and we started brightly.

Utter stupidity from Bernardo though and not the first time he’s cost us against Madrid in the CL knockouts. He has more than enough credit in the bank though.

It was a split second reaction. It happens

 

[lee one pen]

The team looks mentally defeated as well. does not bode well for the final. I can see it being the last game for Pep this Sunday.

You silly, silly man. Why aren’t you watching that north London shit.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Anyone see the offside with lines yet or are they still renewing their MS paint license

They've shown it. He was onside. There isn't a mad conspiracy. Just a piss poor high line which has fucked us numerous times this season

 

[theholysmurf]

Haaland looked fuming that he scored, the level of disinterest from a number of these players is worrying.

 

[Dazzle84]

It's possibly hidden in the rest of the dirge, but Dias is quietly having an absolutely shocking game. For a supposed leader his management of the offside trap is appalling, how passing is miles off it and now he's having a tantrum. He'd be on my list to cull in the summer

First looked like handball.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Onside as I thought. Sometimes you can tell by the cut off the grass. Looked onside real time.

Crap defending from top to bottom for the goal.

Valverde should have put them 1 up in the first 5 mins.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Two of our most experienced players costing us again

 

[coolcity]

That offside cartoon is BS. Why not show a frame from the actual match video?

 

[Dax777]

Guehi for Ait-Nouri. O‘Reilly for Reijnders.

———-——Donnarumma———-
——-Khusanov-Dias-Guehi—-
Nunes—Rodri—-O‘Reilly—Doku
————Cherki—Haaland——-

No. We need RANs ball skills unfortunately.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Still need Foden for Reijnders, we need better ball control up front. Guehi for Dias would improve the high line defence as well.

Guehi a must. Ruben won't stay on for another 45 with this ref.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Vini Junior, the ref, Hitler and you only had 2 bullets?

Trossard and Arteta.

 

[Penworthamblue]

If there is one player I utterly loath it's Vini Jnr... Closely followed by Trent.

Fucker makes my blood boil

 

[blue_danube]

Doing about as well as we can with 10 men

Bernado was stupid there really. You know you can't get away with that. A man of that experience should know to lean into it rather than purposely flick out an elbow.

That said, it's easier watching it than reacting in a split second. However, he's paid millions to think in split seconds on the pitch.

At least we started with intent and still trying, which is about all we can ask for at this point.

Its instinct isn't it.
I remember someone putting a cross in when I was in the box and the ball bounced up at me.... For some reason I just caught it! Lol
Instinct.
