What a great performance that was - in the bear-pit.
Real Madrid; the fuckin' owners of the Champions League, and little City matched 'em.
Anyone who isn't satisfied with any aspect of tonight's City performance should just fuck off.
KDB; wonder strike! Absolute thunderbastard.
On the strength of that magnificent performance and result, we have a great chance of getting to Istanbul, knocking-out the Champions of Europe at a vibrant Etihad next Wednesday.
Bring it on!
See you next week, any negative retards who are still around.

Haaland had 3 poor showings in a row. Tonight he had 2 early half chances but posed no threat after that.

There was no way to get Haaland in tonight. Madrid defended deep to stop his runs. He worked hard enough.

Akanji deserves a mention imo. Playing in an unnatural position he once again was excellent. What a shrewd signing

Manuel Akanji has been fantastic this season and a snip at £15 million

All I'm bothered about right now is beating everton.

Would have taken a draw before the game. At this stage of the season it's the result and not the performance that matters.
Definitely treated differently by BT, after Real beat the Dippers 5-2 there was talk that Liverpool were going to produce one of their special European nights at the Bernebeau. Tonight the talk is them getting a result at the Etihad..
One last point, get rid of that No 9; he hasn't scored for two games!!

Liverpool and Chelsea arnt at their best are they? Chelsea despite being in a regulation scrap managed to give Madrid a good fight….I was just expecting us to take the game to them and not be so passive if we did we could of actually won the game but we was worried

We went there with a game plan and executed it to near perfection, just like Munich, Liverpool & Chelsea can’t defend for toffee so their only hope was to go at them, RM ran out comfortable winners in both ties. You heard the new song about the best defence in Europe? it’s not just a catchy tune, it’s a metaphor for our performances away in Europe, where we’ve tossed it off on too many occasions being gung-ho, we’re unbeaten in the competition & only conceded 5 goals going to Madrid Munich Leipzig Dortmund & Seville

Outstanding result tonight against very difficult opponents. Thought we defended superbly, and Ederson had one of his best games for us. Tie is still finely poised, but would’ve more than happily taken a draw beforehand. Going to be some night at The Etihad next week.

Yep then this time next week it’s Madrid… few weeks after Rags at Wembley… how far we have come :)

Watch our goal again, his movement leaves space for Kev to shoot.

I noticed that, class.
