Real Madrid (A) | Post Match Thread

No one was particularly poor,they all gave it their best,but not one of our outfield players brought their A game.
To come away with a draw and get the dirty cheating cunts back to our gaff,where we need to be at our most intimidating best,was a great result.

The Ref once again did us no favours,how their players didn't receive earlier cautions was a disgrace.

Oh no, not his big beautiful calves!

When he mentioned them they cut to an instant close up of his calves from a cameraman bizarrely stood behind him filming.

Calf porn :-D

How exciting to have a home semi-final, secong-leg. In my opinion, we were the better team, but their left hand combination of Camavinga and Vincius Jr is absolutely world-class, and we were second best in that area. We also played fairly conservatively, and I have no doubt that the instruction to Grealish and Bernardo was to keep the ball, rather than to beat the man. With a more expansive game in the second leg, perhaps with Foden giving Camavinga a worry, I think we can win. We might also receive better treatment from the ref, who was dire.

Good result and they are there for the taking next week.
The referee was very poor and weak. Some assaults on our players were shocking.
Strong ref and hostile crowd needed next week

Barca will play the 2nd leg?

It’s only fair as Real are tired.

For me the important conclusions are two:

1. The team as a TEAM played really focused and well. We got a great result even when our offensive players were far from their best, especially Gundogan and Bernardo had one of their worst individual game. If we play just as focused and as a team, we will play way better.

2. It's really hard to be dominating the other team and then at the first break from the other team receive a goal. Even worse when that is against Real Madrid in their stadium. Even worse when it happens after what happened last year. We could easily think: it doesn't matter how well we play, they are gonna score whenever they need to. We didn't play brilliant, but we weren't nervous, and we never crumbled. The mentality was there and the belief was unscathed.

Stats are killing the beautiful game.

The game will be won out on the pitch, should be a magnificent game, two brilliant sides and all to play for.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE Madrid, they are top quality and we will have to be at our best on and off the pitch to get over the line.

Quite right. We would beat them at home 3 times out of 4, but it's 50/50 next week. Work that one out :)

Utterly disgusting from BT sport here. Humphrey is a shite host anyway but outwardly posting this shit

If we win it the pair of them will be inconsolable.
