If we win it the pair of them will be inconsolable.

Can we see his reaction to our goal please :)

Tight game. Thought we controlled the game well at the start and would gradually open them up but the goal obviously changed the game and got the crowd back up and left us in danger of chasing the game and overcommitting and get caught again. We avoided that and played calmly without making too many mistakes. Professional job and can say I am happier than those Madrid fans. Hope it’s pissing down on Wednesday and freezing.

Bring on the snow, pissing rain, hailstones and City roar!

Would they give a ref the final if he had already done one of the semis?

Couldn't believe it when he gave advantage as we had no advantage. A free kick would have been a much more favourable option for us.

Possibly, there’s 4 individual games in the semis so four different refs, the quarter finals does seem like the opportune moment though, any 5 from 8

A biblical hailstorm that happened in 2021 against PSG in the home semi would be nice.

When he mentioned them they cut to an instant close up of his calves from a cameraman bizarrely stood behind him filming.

Calf porn :-D

Just seen a clip on the TV News supposedly confirming Ancelotti's claim the ball was out of play before KDB scored. Interestingly there wasn't a player in the picture so obviously a doctored image by the Madrid cheats.

No complaints about the two corners they got following two shots that didn't touch a City player though.

Anyone else glad that Militao is back for the 2nd leg, because playing against him will suit Haaland more? Rudiger knows how to rile us up in big games, taking out Kev in the Final and yesterday leaving one on Gundo, which altered momentum of the game.

I thought Kyle did superbly well bar their goal, as Vini Jnr really is top class, and forced him to come inside and pose less of a threat.

Next Weds is huge, we need noise levels on par with Utd (LC 09’) & L’pool (PL 19’) … we can do this Blues!

This fella can’t get a game…



Think on that!

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

For the game at the Etihad,I'll like to see Alvarez provide some support for Walker and also run up at Camavinga. He would open up a lot of spaces for Haaland. Bernie needs to go central alongside Rodri. Gundo to come from the bench.

It's a good point. I think Ancelotti might stick with Ruediger on last night's evidence.
