Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

They will unfortunately. Can't believe we fucked it up in the first leg and then we went and done the same thing. I feel sick what a fucking joke.

So like the Monaco game a few years ago. So so disappointing.

I’ve blamed him for the losing in the last 3 Seasons but don’t think he did much wrong tonight. He picked exactly the right team and his subs seemed sensible when he made them

grealish?!!!! soo poor from pep when we’ve all seen he offers nothing….. down to pep this one!!!

Man City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport: "We were close. We were close. But in the end we could not reach it.

"It is simple. In the first-half we did not have game, we were not good enough. But we did not suffer much. After we scored the goal we were better. We found out tempo and our game and the players were comfortable. It is not like in the last 10 minutes they attack and attack and you suffer. It didn't happen. They put a lot of players in the box, with Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Benzema and they put in crosses and scored two goals.

"We didn't play our best, but it is normal, a semi-final, the players feel the pressure and wanting to do it. Football is unpredictable, it is a game like this. We have to accept it.

"Now we need to process that and come back, with our people at home and the last four games we have."

Seems a fair enough assessment

Fuck me, we played well tonight. After they scored 2 we pretty much lost it and it was obvious they would get another but up to then we were in control. The second was a lucky goal

Every year tho mate. Every fuckin year

any way , im signing off. Its my birthday in 22 mins. Happy fuckin birthday!!!

I honestly think we’ve probably fucked the league tonight as well.

Nah.

Running lines ?

Getting in the way

Have a good day ,

cheers fella.

Clearly it’s not all on Ederson but his ability to save us a game isn’t at the level needed.

 

[smallsteve]

No....but he's a seasoned pro, respected international, and whether starting or a sub, you expect a bit of desire, impetus, and someone who wants to grab the game to show everyone he is that good.

He’s playing like he wants away and probably best for all if he moves on.
He’s a very frustrating player because he goes from the sublime to the ridiculous and then back again. You’re never quite sure what you’re going to get. Wishing well and let’s move on.

The club havent addressed our weaknesses in 4/5 years!
Left back… (nuff said)
A 37 year old fernandinho ( total legend but …37)
no striker for effectively 3 years

its fuckin negligent

These are valid points. We've been close in all competition but when the shit really hits the fan these shortcomings hurt us. Our squad needs refreshing.

Have you seen Cole Palmer if late? Clearly not I suspect!

Madrid brought on a 19 year old late on and he had a big impact on the game
