Would have loved to get a third to settle things down a bit, but that was—against the best team in CL history—as close to a perfect second half of CL football as we could have hoped for.
I will say that I don’t think they’ll be that timid and disjointed in the second half, so we’ll need to keep up our intensity and not let them get a foothold. I am sure Pep will be telling the players the same at the half.
As for those of us calling for Mahrez to play instead of Bernie… what the fuck do we know?
Bernie has Cavaminga in slippers on ice. One of the Pequeno Dançarino’s best 45 minutes in a City shirt.
Kev looks absolutely up for it, apart from a few misplaced passes John is running through them like he’s got Moses ahead of him, and Rodri is dominating their midfield.
Really the only things we could improve on in the second half is Haaland putting one in and being a bit more precise with our throughballs.
But I can’t really fault Erling for either chance he had not hitting the back of the net. That was Courtois being lucky and world class at the same time.
We made Real Madrid look like a pub team after a piss up in that half.
Absolutely amazing times to be a blue!
