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

[Barcon]

Have a feeling in 10 years time about a million blues will have attended the 2022/2023 Champions League Second Leg Semifinal against Real Madrid…

Just getting in now. Jet lag is a woman.

Excellent video dissecting our first goal, demonstrating Pep is “not only a genius, but also a supervillain.”

I was thinking about that before.
We could have won the league that day.
Played 'em off the park.

If Sterling could hit a barn door we would have murdered them.

Sadly no publisher wants to do the book.

Have you tried

perhaps there's a way.

We're not in the Europa

Yeah, did brexit ;)
I meant the continent, not the lower tier tournament. Soz.

Was just checking out the ragcafe forum, their is a poster named Padr who apparently supports us yet that idiot always tries to undermine our owners,and our people's to satisfy those pigs who supports united and liverpool. If that idiot is out here please ban the shit outta him. Asshole. Who in their right sense would want the people who has given so much to the City and the club to be ousted? Go fucking support those rags if you are by chance here or reading this, numptie.

can you not tell what she is saying in the ground

" they are so good, the are fucking brillant ""

It's been said on here before, but it really hit home this week. The combination of superstar players like KDB, Haaland, and I'll even argue Grealish, plus City playing in high-profile matches like the semifinal vs. Real, is raising our global profile exponentially.

Here in the Bay Area, I'm running into more and more City fans or at least City-aware folks. Examples: I went to my son's middle school open house on Tuesday night and two different kids were wearing City shirts. No Rag sightings anywhere, though I still see Liverpool gear around more than I'd care to. Then, I went to a local German restaurant/pub to watch the match on Wednesday. While I may have been the only true City fan in the bunch, everybody watching was either for City or against Real, which is truly a first in my experience. Finally, a friend of my high school age daughter's came over to our house last night and saw that I was wearing my City kit. He excitedly asked if I had been able to watch the entire match, as he had only been able to watch the highlights at that point since he was in school during the match.

When I used to coach my kids 5 or 10 years ago, I would always get asked which team I supported. Before I could finish "Manchester . . . ", they would finish the sentence with United rather than City. One year, as a coaches' gift, the team mother mistakenly bought me a United top, which I indignantly refused to accept until they gave me a receipt so that I could return it and buy a City jacket.

It finally feels like the tide is turning, and tellingly, it is the kids who are most likely to support us. We just decided as a family to go to Las Vegas the week of the UCL final. I'm thoroughly looking forward to finding a pro-City venue there where my son and I can watch City finally capture the "holy grail".

And to think we were all concerned at the beginning of the season that the team
would be weaker following the sale of Jesus, Sterling and Zinchenko and subsequently with the loan of Cancelo.

I think there's a fair possibility the management know what they're doing
