Personally, I’d go false nine for this one, you could see we had less control than the previous games we’d played against Madrid. If we need a goal after 60-70 mins then bring the Viking on. Never happening though.

Yes dropping a 51 goal player in the biggest game or the season.

Makes a ton of sense....

Having slept over it and analysed the game I have concluded that it was an excellent performance and outcome against probably the most difficult team in the world to play away to.
Anybody complaining about that knows fuck all about the game of football.

Absurd isn't it.

Even if haaaland doesn't score next week, he requires constant attention from at least 2 Madrid players at all times opening space.

Unfortunately it’s not a working class game anymore as shown by all the half and half scarf tourists at our home games

I don't think it's a bad thing that City get people through the turnstiles. The more the merrier. However, my original point was that I hope City do not forget their fans from the past, and I hope that is reflected in sensible affordable prices in some parts of the ground, singing sections to build the atmosphere and with a bit of luck the powers that be will use the development of the north stand to make these things happen.

Although it would obviously have been welcome, the objective last night wasn't to win, it was to make sure the tie was still alive for the second leg at home.

A 1-0 defeat wouldn't have been disastrous, but anything heavier and it would have seemed like a mountain to climb. To not concede a second and then claw back a draw was absolutely magnificent. Last night we played Madrid, the stadium and the occasion, and were undefeated. Superb showing.

It is absurd, that is precisely the word. Haaland plays, end of.

Have to say though, what a player Vinicius Jr is. For me, he is the best representative of the modern winger - less reliance on fancy tricks/dribbles, more emphasis on space and efficiency. Very intelligent winger.
