Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

when you waste as many chances as we do these one off games are always going to be an issue.

the first half of the first leg we could have scored 5 or 6 easily - we didnt and its come back to haunt us...

Defensively we were not good at the right moments and once Pep had maed his subs the "b team" wre never evergoing to haul it back....Not Peps fault as he couldnt have predicted that but Sterling, Ferna and Grealish were innaffective...Grealish should have put his chance away and didnt and again that comes back to the first point.....Vinicius Jnr scores that in the first leg.....we didnt then

More concerning is what this does to the squad physically and mentally for the prem league.....Walker injured, Laporte reportedly not moving well at the end of the match...other players completely knackered mentally and physically.

If we dont win the league the scousers will win all 4 as they will beat that Madrid team as defeinsvely as we have shown they are poor..and the scousers have forwards who will take those chances

Easy to say that now but this was against a team that didn't have a shot on target until the 90th. They scabbed it, end of.

For me the one takeaway is I would hate to lose the final against Liverpool, especially if they win all 4 as a result. Better to go out now than be the team that handed it to them.

I'm more pissed off a BT - Mcmamnam sounded really pissed off when he thought RM were going out and the whole commentary was Real Madrid this, Real Madrid that. Not a single shot of the City fans in the crowd even, though that was prob down to the Spanish presenter, but BT have no excuse for clearly favouring RM throughout.
 
Shit happens.
Unfortunately, it happens to us in Europe too often.

It was a team who have a lot of chances but are wasteful vs one with few chances who are clinical.

Gutted. It was in our hands, but we have only ourselves to blame for letting it slip.

I fully expect Liverpool to win handsomely.

I don't care what our best side is "on paper". Walker-Stones-Dias-Zinchenko was sensational at the back end of last season. We abandoned it, presumably just to keep Cancelo and Laporte happy, but no way would we concede six goals over those two legs if Stones, DIas and Zinchenko started both.

Yeah Stones, go on, we don’t care that you’re injured… you need to play mate. Hop around for 90 minutes if you like

How the fuck does he add 6 minutes at the end of the 90 and only 3 at the end of extra time when I’d be surprised if the ball was in play for more than 5 minutes?! Bent as fuck.

Even so, so fucking embarrassing from the players to let that get away from them. And we never looked like getting anything back. It’s like there’s no fight when things aren’t going our way.

Absolutely wounded at that. Wounded.

3 mins in extra time is more than usual, it’s usually just one. 6 mins were added in after a 45 min half compared to 3 mins at the end of a 15 min period. It should have been more but never likely to be much more.

I think it’s unfair to blame the players for not getting anything back. It’s much easier to come back at the end of 90 mins than after 115 - 120;mins. Both sets of players were dead on their feet. Neither team were fluent which suited the team with the lead
 
Stop being fanny wipes it just wasn't to be.
Look at the stats over both games.
It just wasn't to be.
But what can be is us winning the hardest league in the world 4 times out of the last 5 years and making the Dippers suffer with 1 title in 32 years.

Plus Madrid can chill and work on a plan for the final whilst the Dippers are in a war every game to win the media's quad.
Highly unlikely if you think about it

And I’d we’d have taken the chance tonight that grealish had its game over. They lost because of poor concentration not because of missed chances.

Every ref decision went against us.. from the start they should have had 10 men. Then every tackle we made was a foul. Every tackle they made wasn't given. At the end they just stopped our attacks by making a foul knowing full well nothing would be given

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. It wasn’t to be this time. I’m sorry. You must all, all Bluemooners and City players and City fans in Europe be devastated.
We didn’t show ‘em this time but please don’t be too harsh on the team.

I’m sorry I can’t be more positive except to say they had a bad day at the office.

“Fought to the end”
