Barcelona (A) | Charity Friendly | Post Match Thread

Fingers crossed for Luke Mbete. I hope things go ok for him and the injury wasn’t as bad as it looked. Also for Kalvin Phillips with his shoulder.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. You showed ‘em, you showed ‘em all and raised lots of money for the charity. Well done.

2nd that matey

Shame some of our youngsters didn’t take this opportunity, I didn’t think of any of them did particularly well - but then again neither did our senior players. Ortega looks great with his feet. And having Mahrez on pens now we have Haaland is just silly (extra annoyed about this as I had a bet on Haaland scoring).

Which game were you watching

 

[york away to this!]

Bobb is the messiah. All hail Bobb...

Just watching barca TV and Phillips can't be that bad, he was stud there with the rest of the team, clapping the guys in wheel chairs

End of the day it’s for a good cause but players have been injured for nothing and now we have a game in 3 days to get ready for. Absolute crazy to schedule this gane in

I wonder when keepers are just going to stand on that side of the goal and catch the ball. Mahrez puts it there pretty much all of the time!

Apart from Anfield…

He absolutely thunderbastards them though, I wouldn't like to try and stop them :)

Hard to take much from a charity match. We really don't have the squad depth this year, at all.

Glad that some of the youngsters got minutes - JWE going forward is superb.

Bit disappointed in Palmer - lacking match fitness but he wasn't picking up the defensive work as an 8.

Mahrez was offside more tonight than Jesus was in his City career

Unless you call his bluff and stand there!

Appropriate that this game was wrapped up by probably the worst penalty decision I've ever seen haha
