BT pundits are cunts. Camelgob saying both teams will be happy - Madrid will be devastated. Humphrey’s thinks City should be disappointed. Arseholes.

We looked knackered, tired passing every time we broke and guilty of trying to overplay again. But, take the draw and hope we dominate them at home, I worry how exhausted we are going to be after a hostile game at Goodison though, we need to try and get that won early and just conserve energy. It must have been in Peps mind not making subs?

Great result. We looked shit, but I reckon a lot of that was us playing safe to bring a result back to Manchester.

100% that was what Pep wanted from them tonight. Just had to listen to what he said yesterday about bringing the tie back to the Etihad next week.

 

[SWP's back]

We got lucky tonight very concerning second half looked very passive and madrid could have scored more goals we did not play well at all!

We played far better last year at theirs and lost so I’m much happier with what we did tonight.

Good result, i think the target was at the very least to get a draw and settle at Etihad and we managed that despite shocking referring and tired players.

average performance lol

Average probably a bit harsh given the result, decent probably a better way of putting it.

Good result. Not our best performance but getting a draw at the Bernabeu when we can play so much better isn't to be sniffed at.

Pep clearly didn't want to take too many chances tonight and I can understand why. I would have considered Gundogan and/or KDB coming off with 10 to go however as both looked out on their arses. I know he didn't want to upset the rhythm but I thought it just invited pressure on us because their energy levels had dropped a fair bit.

Fair fucks to the back 4.

That Vinicius is some player and looks the most likely to unsettle us next week.

Excellent result, and excellent performance

Not sure why people thought we played average. We played one of the best teams in the world away from home, and controlled 60% of the match

Thanks, I was beginning to think the match I watched was in some sort of alternate reality or something. Superb performance against supposedly the best team in Europe/The World on their home turf, in very difficult conditions.

We deserved at least a draw and we're well set for the second leg at home. For the second year running we proved we can match them and then some. Some of the moaners and doubters on here should go watch somebody else, they don't seem to realise how good we are.

Ancelotti fuming because he knows he’s in deep shit next Wednesday!
