Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Pep fucked that up with the starting line up. He managed to neutralise all of our best players in the first half.

It was almost comical at the end trying to rely on long throw ins like Stoke.

Shit night at the office.

Sterling getting linked with Arsenal on day of our final, him saying if City lose its because of ourselves 2 days back, all seemed to suggest he played his hand well in making sure Pep starts him.

If we get an English side in the CL we're out, Pep can't be them with City.

Favourites against Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea and lost them all.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Let's not blame officials. We were simply not at it tonight. Better team won let's take it on the chin and go again.

You don't think the early decisions effected our players?

I GUARENTEE they did.

Look on the bright side Blues. Willie Caballero's a CL winner. Pleased for him.

Foden was shit. Stones was horrible.

Gutted. But we're not talking about the ref or VAR. We weren't robbed. Beaten fair and square. Well done Chelsea. Hope we get Haaland and go again in August. Just don't understand why Fernandinho didn't start in place of Sterling. But I'm not Pep.

I forgot to say in my earlier post. I’m so proud of our team. Ok we lost but those lads played their hearts out. We should be proud of them. We got there, we got to the flaming final of the Champions League. We are Champions of England.
Be proud City fans. Be proud of our lads please.

They didn't play their hearts out, they fucking froze. Disgraceful performance

Another Master class from Pep on how to feck up an important CL game. Starting with Sterling who has been pants for months and not playing Rodri/Fernando as DM from the off.
Then we froze like a Rabbit in the headlights.
I dispare I really do.

Chelsea were unbelievably disciplined, fantastic defensively, tactically astute. Fair play to them, on the night they deserved to win. Completely gutted but we will have other opportunities and we cant criticise anyone for lack of effort. We played 10 of the 11 almost all of us would have picked so I really don't understand the bleating going on. We gave it our best shot and came up short. A premier title, carabou cup and CL final in the same season I will take.

I feel so sorry for Kevin. He will have some bloody headache tomorrow. Stay safe all blues in Porto. Next season we go again.
