I was there in their bit with my 2 young lads when we lost 3-1. Never felt lower and thought we were fucked forever. Made last night all the sweeter and good to watch with now grown-up lads !

He got all the calls spot on. Perhaps Mendy was unlucky to get yellow carded but he got the calls right and didn't rely on VAR.

I think VAR if it was harsh could have ruled out City's equaliser if they had wanted. There was the slightest of pushes by Jesus. I think it was right to allow it to stand. KDB's turn and cross was briliant.

the game plan worked to a tee and pep should get a lot of credit and not many go there and win, yes uefa VAR could have changed the game but they now have to be whiter than white and we would have them over a barrel and call it as it is, city have not won the war over uefa but the battles we keep winning will just add to the pressure

like i said the referee was fair to both teams and from 50/50 throw inns to fouls and cards nobody could moan ? it was nice to see the officials just doing there job and not under pressure from higher up to change a result

You will not be surprised to hear that the Spanish press have all completely gone to town on the referee.

Was it not a poor pass from Gundogan that started their goal.

Gundogan not involved, but Rodri was a bit lazy/switched off for their goal. You can see from receiving the ball from Mahrez, Rodri plays a pretty lazy pass to Ota who is immediately under pressure.

Ota's touch isnt great, and neither is his return pass to Rodri, but Rodri controls and then plays a horrid square ball back to an out of position Ota. Then it all unravels. Walker should have put a stronger foot in but he's not the chief culprit here, Rodri is.

No, it was a poor pass from Otamendi which resulted in a mistake from Rodders. Gundog was somewhere in the centre circle when it was falling apart. Starts at 2:25
