Real Madrid (H) | Post Match Thread

Not sure what else Laporte was meant to do with their 2nd goal as he was tracking Benzema’s run.

It was a great turn by Vinicius to get past Ferdy, sometimes you just have to admire the quality of the opposition. I even think Walker will have his work cut out containing him.

Either way what a spectacle for both sets of fans and the footballing World as a whole.

Roll on next week.

Yeah, I think some of the criticism of Laporte for that has been harsh. He's one player tracking two, and he's decide that he's going to track the run and hope his keeper closes down the space.

The result still hurts, concerning how they missed so many ridiculous chances and gave Madrid the goals. It could‘ve been Bayern Barca 2.0, but instead it feels like the game vs Atletico Madrid. As 4-3 is the same as 1-0. Defending an one goal lead

Sorry mate, don’t agree.

Laporte looked to Zinny as they were on the back foot and saw Rodrygo chasing up the right wing, so he correctly continued to track Benzema. Otherwise it would have left Zinchenko with two attackers to deal with.

Vinicius was simply too good/quick for Ferdy and (Foden?) chasing in his slipstream.

Where the fuck was Dias

Will we get through next week?

Yes!

That's missing the point of his reply to a wus.
That said, Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 and everyone said the game was over, look how that turned out.

I didn't miss anything, knew the score with that wum, thanks anyway.

If you think Madrid are favourites I think you'll get favourable odds on them making the final. I don't know what the odds will be as I'm not a gambling man but I probably could have made a small fortune over the years if I'd gone with my gut feeling, but I've never bet on City losing and I never will.

Man City are currently 2/9 and Real are 3/1. I've seen this happen with Liverpool in the league, when City fans say matter of factly that the opposition are now "favourites" without seeming to understand what the phrase means. City are favourites, but are up against a very talented team that could win, but we are definitely favourites.

Going to be a tough one next week in front of their lot, but we've already proved this season we can handle a partisan crowd no bother. Not sure about throwing Walker right back in after an injury, fingers crossed he can get some minutes under his belt this weekend. Hate that we left them 'alive', but they have some amazing quality.

Unfortunately this is what we're becoming. That's a disgrace lol

Where the fuck was Dias

Dias most likely followed Modric, didn't he? Although I don't remember that scene now, but there was a time when he was following him in the game for sure.
