Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[SidJames]

The next biggest regret, after losing in the final, was not seeing Foden come alive on the biggest stage after announcing himself to the world. instead, he (along with others) was stymied by a system that played to our weaknesses.
it will be a crying shame if he never gets another chance!

At 21 years old mate, with a good 13 years of a City career still ahead of him.

I would put my mortgage on him starting in another final.

It is a really sad day for sure,the Sun is shinning,we are League Champions.

We vent on here and get it all out of our system,and we go again as a club.

Well, if you’re suggesting that the tv broadcasters muted City’s end then that is fair enough, but you’d be a bit silly to deny that their support was loud last night.

Aside from towards the end when it became clear we were getting nowhere the noise from the blues was great.
Broadcasters do have a tendency to use artistic licence.
The only way to gauge a crowd is by being there

I’m on about during the game.

We couldnt hear them because the mics were at the chavs end , our support are always loud

We are definitely going to be in the mix for the Semis from now on. Our final appearance isn't an one off.

Despite the result had an brilliant day yesterday to be honest. Few beers round ours then down the CFA on the big screen followed by a Premier League and League Cup double party back at ours til the early hours

Bold statement as we have been only in 2 semis in 10 years.

We didn't give a great account of ourselves - but that's City all over. We're a million times better than we used to be, but sometimes, you simply can't win everything, even when you're the better team overall (not on the night).

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, United, Juventus - they've all gone through this. It's part of football.

Devastated today, even more so than yesterday.

Pep got it wrong but we can’t blame everything on him either.

When I saw the line up I couldn’t believe it. Sterling??? The player who’s out of form completely. From March he has ONE goal in all competitions for us, ONE GOAL!! , he didn’t start any of the quarter final or semi final matches but Pep starts him in the final?? Wtf.

A midfield that hasn’t played together in a year? Our only match this season without Rodri or Fernandinho starting was a CL final. Haha what a joke.

By starting Sterling, we moved Gundogan to DM where he hasn’t played in ages, we move Foden from LW where he’s been fantastic.

Despite the selection we played poorly. A lot of players were invisible. So it can’t all be on Pep. What ever the line up, had we even started with a 352 the players need to do better and rise to the occasion.

and the handball?? Looked like a James handball to me? Didn’t see it mentioned much here and no replays were shown. Very strange.

overall one huge disappointment at the end of a wonderful season. Let’s hope we can improve the squad this summer and then try to retain the league and win some more trophies next season.

You don’t get a busted cheekbone and nose through an ‘accidental collision’ as reported by MEN! Ffs that was thuggery and a deco red
Rudiger’s card will be marked - I expect karma to come and bite him on the bollocks bigtime

He’s a dirty cünt. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and tried to con the ref by feigning injury. VAR should have looked at his movement and the deliberate shoulder to the face. IMO, that’s a straight red for endangering an opponent, but we all knew that wouldn’t happen.
I hope someone goes through the dirty cünt and breaks him in half. He’s been doing it all season and getting away with it. Sly cünt.

Chelsea players set the tone from the first minute. Their supporters didn’t stop singing for most of the game because of how pumped up their players were. We barely heard anything from the City fans all night, but I think that due to our performance. I didn’t go last night as I was unlucky not get a ticket, but our support was a bit poor last night compared to Chelsea’s.

Was it fuck poor! Our support was brilliant before, during and after.
