Bayern Munich (H) - CL QF | Post Match Thread

Some in MSM saying there wasn't much in it until the 60 minute mark.

That Bayern were actually edging position. As if this in some way points to Bayern being the better side.

Thick fuckers these Sports editors honestly. This was the Quatre Final, first Leg. In this position in the home Leg, one has to try and get the Balance right. Objective being win the game without conceding. Hence John Stones role.

Bayern edging position had nothing to do with the fact they were better up until that point. It was simply us managing the game, consciously not going "Gun Ho" leaving our self wide open at the Back to a side that could potentially hurt us.

Was a really good professional, street smart performance that bodes well for the second Leg.

They are a very good side though mate, the best side we've played all season.

For all the first half and the first ten minutes of the second, it was a very even game and if they had scored it could've gone either way.

But we were brilliant, our defence was superb and as we always do, we just kept playing and we wore them down.

3-0 is a great cushion to have and they have to come at us next week, but we've grown in this competition and i just can't see us throwing this away now.
 
Good to see nearly 100 pages on a game that we won!
It's nearly always when we've lost. I suppose it's because when you're happy, there's less soul searching and analysis that goes on, usually. You're happy, that's it.
That said, there is an awful lot to analyse about why last night was so good. I think, all things told, that is our best match ever in Europe. Rome away was a a superb performance, but not as complete as this one.

They want clubs to be fan-owned as it's better for the game. - Then they rely on rich/generous sponsors.
The fact that they have won the past ten Bundesliga titles may hint as to why they like this model.
Rags, dippers, Arse and Chels have all dominated English football, but never to the same extent as Bayern dominate (currently) in Germany.
Fuck them and their criminal (former) directors.

Doesn't this get a bit boring when it's procession every year?
 
City's 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday saw us stretch our unbeaten home run in the UEFA Champions League to 25 matches.
That total takes us beyond the previous best by an English club, when Arsenal won 16 and drew eight matches between September 2004 and April 2009.
Our last defeat in a European match at the Etihad Stadium came way back in September 2018, when Lyon were the visitors for a group stage fixture.
Since then, we have won 23 and drawn two of our Champions League games in Manchester.

However, we still have a long way to go to match the overall record set by Barcelona. The Catalan club went 38 matches unbeaten at the Camp Nou between September 2013 and November 2020, winning 34 of those.
 
I'm just home from the game stayed in Manchester last night and flew home this morning. I can't wait to watch the match again.

I've seen numerous cracking games at The Etihad over the years, The standard of football last night was right up there with the very best I've seen. I can't believe some people on here are saying "Bayern are shit", I can assure you that they are far far from it, They are a seriously good side! The problem they faced is that Bayern came up against the best team in Europe.

Every single player last night was immense, Ake is possibly the best left back in Europe now he was tremendous, Dias, Stones ect I could name them all just fucking wow!

Incredible Incredible team.

One little irritation last night and other games to is our throw ins. We seem to take ages to chuck it in and seemingly to an opposition player.

Our set pieces when KDB takes them in general. When they pass the ball to him for set pieces he does alright but when he takes a set piece there's just no pace on it.

Thanks for posting that.....just incredible! Really, really weird! So they drag the team, who have just been battered and handed their arses, into some room where the half pissed German punters are having a post-match one-for-the-autobahn and are then subjected to their ex-player and now-CEO crying into his weissbier for 4 mins.... with an arrogance that says they shouldn't ever be beaten like that. Bet the players felt fantastic after hearing Oliver's cheery words!

Bizarre. Utterly fucking bizarre.
