Man City v Real Madrid: 'Kevin de Bruyne still needs his legacy moment'

Does Kevin de Bruyne get the respect he deserves - and what more does Vinicius Jr need to be considered the world's best?

"As big as City are in the Premier League and as much as Pep Guardiola brings the world's attention on City, they are not a legacy club.

"It is harder for a City player to create consensus around football journalists. A lot of time the genius and style of play is associated with Guardiola."

United's takeover saga, 'take it or leave it', a made up headline and story from yesterday and still trending today. (both parties have signed a confidentiality clause)

You have to wonder why this came out the day before City's CL semi-final match with Madrid.

United's Shills in the press doing their work for them.

An update on the PL charges will be leaked in the week running up to the FA Cup Final or the following week before the Champions League Final if we get there. It will just be a few unsourced comments with the trail well covered. This is the reality we have been dealing with for the last decade.

Has anyone seen the BBC article about De Bruyne needing that "defining moment" to be considered a great?

Absolute nonsense.

This has come from Carragher suggesting last week that Gerrard is held in higher regard because he had so many big moments, including in Istanbul. Henry put him straight but it's gained traction.

Gerrard scored 6 goals in the CL knockouts. 1 in a final. De Bruyne has 11 of his 14 CL goals in the knockouts. He's just scored the equaliser at the Bernabeu and he scored the winner there a couple of years ago. How the fuck are people suggesting he's not world class?!

Carragher. To think football and society in general has dumbed down to this level. I suppose in music people used to listen to Tony Wilson and Bob Harris - but now hang on every word of Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden - a sad state of affairs.

Off for my lie down.

Was just listening to talkSHITE on the way back from school drop off and they had a section on about what other clubs’ fans want the result to be tonight - unsurprisingly for a talkSHITE production every fan they presented wanted City to lose - I think we all know whether they would do something similar for a rag, dipper, spurs, chelsea semi final. Cunts.

To be fair both Agbonlahor and McCoist said they wanted City to win but clearly the producers of the show had a different agenda. Arsenal supporting show host Laura woods didn’t express an opinion

I heard them on Talkshite and it didn't bother me because it's just bitter jealousy.

Because KDB plays for City. If he runs down his contract and signs for the scousers or Utd for a season then it will come with a Ballon d'or and a knighthood inside a month

Horncastle can fuck off. Doesn't he support Leeds? Bet he thinks they're a legacy club.

Fuck them. We've got to go out there and bury this fucking negative bollocks. Let them go back to how we've cooked the books and spent billions to buy the CL.

It would be great to sing a song about buying the CL if we win it!

UEFA said the Champions League was not for sale
UEFA said the Champions League was not for sale
But Sheikh Mansour said buy the lot
We bought the league we bought the cup
Super City
Bought the Champions League
Na na na na na!

De Bruyne has created virtually all our defining moments in the last seven years. We wouldn't have won any of those ten trophies without him. He has scored key goals or created assists in all our biggest matches against opponents like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Liverpool, Arsenal, United, and Chelsea. He has destroyed some of the best teams in world football again and again. The lack of respect from some elements within the English media for him is disgraceful. He is widely respected by opposition fans, especially proper ones who attend matches.

Carragher should never be allowed to voice his opinion in public again after spitting on that young girl.
A vile excuse of a human being.

Harry Kewell and Steve Finnan have champions league medals as well as our third choice goal keeper. The three mention there, have they had the same careers as Kevin De Bruyne? Have they fuck, why should someone’s career be defined by a competition where you don’t play every team in it? People associated with Liverpool seem to have a mental block that being consistent for 38 games a season, playing everyone and then beating them shows how good a team or player is. Kevin De Bruyne is about to achieve 3 in a row for league titles, Liverpool only have one in 34 years. The last one before that you could pass back to the goal keeper.

Na na na na na!

In a world of money's gleaming sway,
Manchester City dared to forge their way,
With riches vast, they sought the prize,
The Champions League, their hungry eyes.
But amidst the gold, skill would prevail,
As greatness etched their tale, money's veil.
