Real Madrid (H) | Post Match Thread

Sterling made an instant impact. Conceded 2 pointless fouls, an offside and a waft at a ball in the box. Should have left Jesus on.

He was poor when he came on today. He should be nowhere near the starting 11 next week.

Tbh even with a 3 goal margin this tie wouldn’t be over
Makes us go over there and attack the game like we did tonight
Madrid know they got away with one tonight and will be very wary of us next week

Agree

Final word from the commentary team. ‘A moral victory for Madrid’.

We utterly battered them, but they have that dipper like quality of being incredibly clinical and took advantage of our defence being crippled.

Although stating there obvious, we create a plethora of chances but we absolutely have to start taking a higher percentage at this stage of the season or it is going to cost us dearly.

That is never going to happen with our forward line. It’s head in the sand wishful thinking.

Our defence and control of games is what will win us the big trophies this season.

Worryingly, the last game and half in the CL has shown we have very little control at the moment.

“A moral victory for Madrid”. How naff. It was a game of football not a war. If a team in red had beat Real Madrid with half their first choice defence missing.
BT and those City fans who think it was a bad result or we have blown it are wrong. We have a lead. Madrid will have to cope with pressure. We can defend better. Sometime to win a trophy you have to grind results out. We did it last time in Madrid and can do it again.

Real Madrid are a bunch of chancers , our defence cannot possibly be as poor again next week , and how we didnt put eight goals on the lucky Spanish tw*ts is beyond me. We need three clear cut chances to score one goal in every game we play , if only we could turn the clock back ten years and find another Aguero , he woud have took the match ball home tonight with his eyes shut.

He made the 2md chance. Another day that performance gets him an hatrick. But yes he was quite annoying.

Did he? My heads in bits! We won. Fuck It! Absolutely no reason we can't do them over there.

Privilege to be at the game but feels like a defeat.

Mahrez, in particular, cost us dearly, could have made it three nil but chose to shoot with Foden waiting.

He also gives the ball away in the middle in lead up to the penalty.

Dias had a shocker and Laporte a brain fart leaving Viniscus on goal.

So good going forward and felt we could have had six or seven.

Our finishing is wank , Ederson needs a fucking rocket up his arse.

 

[i8rags]

I thought we were fucking fantastic. Up there with the best I’ve seen us. Some of the defending was shoddy though

Fair play to Madrid. Two top teams going right at it. Beautiful stuff

Eh, fantastic and the best you’ve seen us but shoddy!!!!

You’re talking shit.

It’s Real Madrid we are playing, not Watford and it’s a Semi Final of the CL, not some dead league game.

We won an incredible game of football, fucking cheer up.

Cheer up what for exactly? This RM would struggle getting in PL top 4 in the course of 38 games! They are two levels bellow when we beat them two seasons ago. Every time this season we needed the result we wobbled. This was a great game of football if you support Grimsby Town. We put both the title and this semi in question. Fuck it!
