Penalty shoot outs decide one leg cup games as well though.

Yes but this was a two-legged tie, so which leg did we lose? Neither.

Which end in draws

I’m not really mad on unbeaten run records because you can do them by drawing every match. You could be invincibles in the Prem and get relegated after 38 draws.

However, it’s funny seeing fans of other clubs see their arse that it’s not a real unbeaten run because we lost to Madrid. I kind of agree with them, I think FIFA should change that regulation they have where a team who loses on penalties don’t officially lose, I think that’s a bit silly really. But they’re the rules at present so fuck em haha.

But you can win the game and then lose on penalties so what happens then? It's part of a two-legged fixture in the CL so I think it's correct that they call the result after 90 minutes. I agree on an individual game that losing on penalties should be a loss though.

I'm exhausted from interrupting work to read the reams and reams of tributes in the mainstream media. Honestly, there's acres of coverage, you can't miss it.

At least they mentioned it on MOTD last night.

A few seasons ago City had a long winning run but it wasn't recognised as a record because one of the 'wins'was by penalties in a League Cup tie at Wolves.
So if that wasn't a win Madrid can't have been a loss.

I wasn't bothered but it's boiling so much piss, I think I'll drop it into every football conversation I have.
