Real Madrid post match post mortem

[Indaparkside]

Just woke up since Tuesday night
Are we playing Arsenal or Bayern in semis

 

[Grassland Blue]

No, the worst thing is "fans" not appreciating how good we are and not realising that we can't win every single game every time. Most times we don't it's when the opposition got lucky and today was another one of those., Any one of those attempts we had could have gone in, but when a team parks the bus it's like trying to play football in a forest. I'm proud that we made a team like Madrid do that, in the end it was exactly what Steve Mac said it would be, toss of a coin.

Steve Mac?
Surely Mcpointy?!

Tbh you guys deserved to win that tie imo. You largely outplayed them for most of the tie. We deserved fuck all against Bayern as we couldnt create anything and were naive.

Am I the only one thinking the congested fixture list in England in contrast to the European teams hampered us?

Going to get even worse with the fixture list for the extended group stage of the champions league. Will be interesting to see how much attention the top teams in England throw at the league cup because of it. Bundasliga also has 18 teams in it so a less hectic schedule, I don’t think the Premier league would entertain any sort of reduction in league size because of the tv money the games generate.

And why wasn't modric booked for hoofing the ball into the crowd, that was bang out of order, you get booted for kicking the ball away at a throw in ffs

Whilst true, it’d have been totally moot as he wasn’t in danger of suspension and it’d be wiped off now anyway.

The spectre of City doing the double treble has now been banished hence the outpouring of joy and hatred in equal measure by the media. However, there is the small matter of four in a row that has never been done and will probably be given a boost now we don’t have to squeeze two semi‘s in.

Because to anyone with more than four brain cells it would have been apparent that I was taking the piss out of the poster I quoted.

Have been saying this for years. But I am just a mere fan and do not financially benefit the Premier league.

I'm sure the chance of 4 in a row hasn't gone unnoticed by a certain Howard Webb and Co.
Would be unbelievable if we can get it done though

To win a game you have to put the ball in the net. Sorry Erling but flat footed and not strong enough. Use your weight man and be a bit more aggressive. Watch some Drogba videos and be an animal like you are built to be.

 

[Palerider]

Similar to the Arsenal game I think. Both Arsenal and Real Madrid packed the penalty area and were clever enough to just block rather than make tackles. In both games we had a few good chances but neither keeper needed to be brilliant, just steady. Pep needs to come up with a tactic to create more chances in these games.
On Haaland, with such limited space it's difficult to see how any centre forward would be effective.
