Real Madrid (A) | Post Match Thread

Looking forward to Wednesday, imo pep will drop gundogan and grealish for Mahrez and foden. Put Bernardo in midfield. Mahrez wide right Bernardo right side of midfield and walker right full. Madrid nullified .
 
Watched the game again does anybody have any idea why Kev was so emotional? Hope he's OK and it was just the pressure of the game.

Someone on here said he was doing that pointing to the sky thing they do when someone has died.

I thought he was just pointing up at the away fans personally but who knows?

I think he wants this medal more than any other, for a majority of the players, This IS the title that means everything.
 
Got back yesterday afternoon after a great trip.Great performance by the team but also our fans who kept up the singing all day and throughout the match.Well done everyone and a big well done to the bloke getting off the Metro,I think it was at Ministeros who looked after a young blue having bother with a Senseless Madrid fan.
 
Just tried transferring/upgrading a ticket for this (from kid to adult) but it won't let me do it online. Anyone else had the same problem?
 
Finally getting round to watching the match (I know, I know, Scott didn't make it back from the South Pole…)
Of many, many “errors” of refereeing in Madrid's favour that I could pick up: Rodri's “foul” on Camavinga, minute 59. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with Rodri's challenge. He doesn't so much as touch his legs, not even a clip, he slightly shoulder charges him — allowed on the ball and all part of the game — and just calmly takes the ball away from him. Camavinga is annoyed by the ease with which he's been made to look like a little boy, makes a gesture, then (and only then) the ref concurs and blows his whistle. Ancelotti meanwhile is asking for a card! Can you credit it??
Disgraceful refereeing, from first to last. The effrontery of it! Yes, I can indeed see why Real are convinced that this competition is designed for them. It is. They're right. Like playing poker with marked cards, or having loaded dice.
Surely the refereeing can't be as blatant as this at the Etihad? Can it??

Coming to hate the Madrid teams, both of them, with a vengeance.

And by the way: I had got the distinct impression, listening to the radio commentary, that we had dominated the first half, them the second. Not so. Yes, they stepped up their game in the second half, and created some clever moments of danger (Benzema's chance over on the left is the result of quite brilliant one-touch triangular passing). Ed is not in any serious danger from any of their chances at this point, has not had to pull out any major save. If anything, Courtois pulls out a brilliant stop from the clearest chance, with De Bruyne clear through (yes, I know the flag finally went up: I'm sure VAR would have wanted to have a look at that, and I'm not at all sure it goes in their favour if the ball gets past Courtois). Haaland, it has to be said, was held well in check all night. He tends to have one match a bit off, then the next express-train on.
Bring on Wednesday evening. Blue specs off and in the glasses case: as last year, we're better than this Madrid team. They've got two or three brilliant players, but as a team we're superior. Oh — we've got two or three brilliant players too…
