Thought Real were supposed to be classy, but their main plan last night was gamesmanship and 'dark arts'. Thought we were playing Atletico, they were such a bunch of cunts.
Don't know how the Kroos foul hasn't got more attention. Clear straight red for me considering how high and far away from the ball it was.
Rudiger on Gundo also. He left the elbow in, it's what he does, we know that - do refs not know it?
Carvajal... Could have been booked numerous times. Bit of a shithouse. The acting was horrendous.
Appealing for imaginary handballs, diving... You name it. Wankers.
And as for coming up with this imaginary visualization of the ball going out of play... It's shite. Not accurate and not something you use VAR for. They are solely shouting about it in an attempt to look hard done by so that the 2nd leg ref feels they are owed something.
We did well to stay calm at times, but tbh I wish we'd have fought back and complained about some of the things a bit more than we did. There was one dive by Camavinga that got a freekick and everyone just seemed to accept it and walk away, but zero contact.
Still... Halftime and in a decent position to get stuck into the second leg and rip them apart. I don't see how someone with Foden's ability can play no part in that game when it comes to it. Give them something extra to worry about.
We've just got to worry about getting a win against Everton unscathed first...
