Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

They did drop in the rest of extra time. We hardly layed a glove on them. The last 20 minutes should have been a siege. That is the bit that bothers me. I believe the first two goals were freakish really. Just a glitch in a game we had controlled. We had plenty of time but never looked like coming back. That was poor.

Real managed the extra time there was no opportunity to get hold of the game they used the dark arts aided by a complicit official, it would have been the same if they had managed to score first in the 90mins

Mate pls spare me the sentiment. Big UCL night's the same players have costs us game. It's all good winning games against Everton and Watford but we need big performances in big games like yesterday, and when you look back at all our last UCL exits its the same 3 players that have made BIG ERRORS leading to us losing.

Sometimes we have our hands tided and pep very rarely has had a full squad to pick in big Champions League games. walker and a cover player at left back in cancelo ? We are short in terms of squad depth in key places.
city need to buy 2 left backs in the summer and a right back cover for walker then maybe the panic in laporte having to cover the left back all the time will stop ? full fit city team last night would not lose that game.

Also KDB is not 100% fit and can not find any sort of form ? and in this false 9 he is being asked to play deep and try to control the game ?
 
There is a case for saying it is not our fault, it just seems to go against us. The ref was weak and a stronger one would have got them down to ten men. A couple of goal-line scrambles could have gone either way, and although Walker was heroic, if he had been fully fit and stayed on, we would have got through. Grealish came close twice before the end of normal time, that almost doubles his contribution this season. I just hope the reverse psychology kicks in and Liverpool get complacent, RM have enough to deny them the Champions League, and if the lads are mentally strong enough there is no reason why we can’t win the remaining Premier League games, with or without Walker and Stones. That said, I am disappointed with some on here, call yourselves City fans? We outplayed Europe’s most legendary club and two incredible football matches. No way could Liverpool or anyone else provided so much skill over 210 minutes of football. We were compromised defensively both legs, due to injury and suspensions, so just remember how it was a few years ago. We are always in the mix, and whatever the media say today, a few weeks ago they said we were ruining football by being so dominant. let Liverpool ruin football.

I didn’t sleep a wink, kept seeing their players names in my head over and over. That’s got to be the worst result we’ve suffered in my days and I’m 57.
I just hope the players & Peps heads don’t drop but I fear they will and we’ll end the season with nothing, all the bullshit media against us time after time must surely be starting take its toll, I know it has with me.
Always a Blue but feeling down and out today.

I feel the hurt mate, but knowing Pep & the lads they'll redouble their efforts on Sunday so the whole season doesn't turn to shit. The Premier League is still in our hands & we've now gotta do our best to be crowned the best team in England, if only to stop the Dippers doing a quadruple which we'll never hear the last of!

UEFA, The G14 & the global media got the glamour tie those behind the European Super League wanted. Well I for one won't be watching, & albeit I hate the bastards I'd prefer a Real win, but based on last night's performance I can't see it to be honest.

We had our best chance to be Champions League winners last season & to be honest the needless defeat to Chelsea hurts more than last night's defeat. Against Real this can happen with the strikeforce they have. Against Chelsea, Pep's brain fart cost us that game before a ball had been kicked.

It is what it is mate. I still feel sickened & there's a media & messages blackout from me today. Thank fuck for Bluemoon for providing a space where I can shamelessly ball my eyes out with others feeling the same suicidal emotions as me! Lol :-)

‘All good winning games against Everton and Watford’ ffs you do know we have a very good chance of winning the Premier League again? That wound be 3 out of the last 4 seasons. Some of the attitude from our fans is frankly pathetic.

You can't be serious can you?? This Premier League should have been won already, we let Liverpool back into the race.

Let me rephrase, it's all good performing well against Mid-table sides but when it comes to big games againts top PL opposistion and in UCL some of our players dont raise their game and I can't offer any other explanation except that they are not good enough.

For a team supposedly the best in the world at keeping the ball the fact we couldn't keep hold of it deep in their half for another 90 seconds is mystifying to say the least

We completely buckled under the pressure and conceded shape and possesion away to Atletico as well.
This season's team just weren't as good as we thought, let's hope it's enough for a title and then go again next year with reinforcements
