Unfortunately, Haaland was absent tonight. We needed him in these type of matches

Fucking hell that was a tough watch at times.

We can and will play better at home.

Happy that we withstood huge amounts of pressure and did not concede a second.

Overall happy we didn’t cave in. Madrid are a bunch of pussies. Haaland very quiet. If we win the second leg he will need to do his thing.

Eh? Eddie made a couple of decent saves but apart from that they had nothing. Their goal was sublime but that's all they had. Nerves got the better of the fans (on here anyway) but not the team.

Will take the result of course but can't help but think that game was there to be won if we went for it rather than played to control it. Will have to be better second leg and expect we will be. Have to fancy us in a one off game at home to get to the final.

Bench was there to be used today to give us a boost second half, can't believe pep didn't make a sub when it's that hot and you've got the likes of foden, mahrez and alvarez on the bench and he's talked about players being tired.

We will make the Etihad a cauldron next week and cheer the boys into the final we will get the job done.

Have to say, fair play to the ref, very lenient, sometimes a bit too lenient but he was consistent for both sides and he didn't fall for any of their shithouse tactics. Probably the best ref we have had for a number of years.

I didnt think the ref was bad at all. He was fair. Missed some things but he's human.

Good result

Thought Walker did a good job on the whole on Vin Jr -better than Ferny

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

PRetty good result but we didn´t play a good game at all imo.Now we need to keep our home streak alive and we are through

Didn’t play good at all? What have you been smoking. We played really well

anyone saying it’s poor needs to get out of entitled land. Playing Real Madrid at the bernabeu it’s not going to be an easy game where we smash them you are playing top class players who know exactly what they are doing. A great result- I think some people expect us to smash teams every week

Couldn’t agree more. Playing in 30 degree heat playing away at Madrid. 1-1 is a great result and we saw the game out when we had to. Madrid will always get chances as they will do at ours but I’m sure they are more annoyed then we are that it finished 1-1. Home advantage for us will be different.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

We were, at least, as good as them. In their own backyard. With no protection from the ref.

Some people will just never be happyJim. I'm fuckin made up with that draw. This time of the season it's all about the result, NOT the performance. :)

 

[Dirty Harry]

Considering so many of our top players were below par, we actually did ok there, Madrid on the whole aren’t anything special.
