Real Madrid (A) - CL R16 Post Match thread

What a difference having a referee who doesn't load most decisions against you makes, and gives you a fair chance at it.

After conceding from that error in posession and defense, when we were doing so well, i thought it might all turn, but credit to pep and the lads, nobody panicked. Stuck at it, what an effort, jesus was everywhere, popped up right time for the goal, instinct. Could have had another within a minute.

Delighted with 2-1, heck woulda been delighted with 1-1, but mahrez had the chance to slip kdb or jesus in for a 3rd at the end, and i cant help feeling disappointed he just ran it into the defense.

Delighted with everyone's effort, even mendy who really walked a tight line and made me clench, a lot.
 
What a difference a fair ref makes though eh? Those saying it's never good blaming the ref, take note. He wasn't pro City, he just called it fairly, they still got all the niggly fouls but they are the home side.

He could have waved on the foul on Mahrez, he could have given Ramos that foul he asked for by backing into Jesus and falling over, he could have waved away the penalty and booked Jesus.
Would have been harsh to book Jesus for the penalty appeal by Sterling tbf.

But everyone is against us?
 
Great result could of been 4.
Pep got it spot on

Jesus motm worked is arse off & scored when he had drifted out of the game a bit.

silly defensive errors still in our game which keeps costing us goals.

but well done blues big result
 
One of the best 'showing your bollocks' performances we've put out in years. I'm buzzing!!!
 
Good result but we nearly fucked the performance yet again. Missed a lot of chances and gifted a goal. Finally had a competent ref not fuck us over. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow morning with a horse head in his bed.
I really think that game looked like UEFA were the ones under close scrutiny.
Officials did an excellent job. All you want.
