Real Madrid (H) | CL SF 2nd Leg | Post-Match Thread

Anyone else watching the replay on Bt right now ? The editing is awful, refs whistle has just gone but play has continued & we’re booing our own players :)

I'm amused by the commentator when Toni Kroos gets the ball. "Toni Kroos picks up the ball, Toni Kroos shoots, Ohh what a shot from Toni Kroos". Tit.

I thought we would win, but I can't believe we beat them that badly. Absolute masterclass in coaching by Pep.

I think Bayern are a better side than Madrid,I always thought we'd get past madrid but Bayern gave us more problems.
Loved watching ancelloti totally bemused and tapping his fingers on his head, he was shell shocked. I don't think they expected us to keep that tempo in the first half.

My favourite thing about all of these “Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern can’t compete with unrestrained, unlimited financial power” articles is that they completely ignore the fact that multiple levels of financial accounting and spending rules were devised and implemented—mostly at the demand of the clubs referenced—specifically to restrain and limit our spending and finances.

They are laughable bad faith arguments meant to distract from the fact that all of those clubs employed similarly high spending for decades before City won the lottery, and most continue to spend as much or more than us today.

And several only have that financial power because of similar massive cash injections (United, Liverpool, Chelsea), government subsidy (Real Madrid, Barca), and/or their leagues allowing them to have a near monopoly on talent (Bayern, Real Madrid), which includes allowing them to tap up the beat players to sign them on frees after they run out their contract, with no independent compensation determinations or regulatory intervention.

This is not about “financial doping”, as if there is such a thing we only adopted the program originated by the other dominant clubs in world football.

This is about the established order pushing against the tides of change and weaponising captured media and governing bodies to try to stop it.

But, as the old saying goes, they’re just pissing in to the wind.

And, once more, they know it. This is them raging against the dying of their light.

I think last night Walker had the best performance of his career. He understands pep’s philosophy more than anyone gives him credit for, yes it comes with some premium baggage full of cocks but what an athlete . If it wasn’t for Bernie , he would be my motm.
His movement along with stones and bernie created havoc for madrid and they had no idea what just hit them in first half.
Special mention to Akanji , goes under the radar but he turns on his beast mode wherever he is asked to play.What a fucking player , and kudos to Txiki .

Poor result
Should have been 7 and we should embarrassed those motormouth flying egomaniac dirty xunts more.

Best match in Pep era so far deserved 7/8 goals

I just watched the extended highlights show from last night. This is probably a repeat of it. The audio and the pictures are slightly out of sync for the whole programme. Bit off putting.
