Real Madrid (H) | Post Match Thread

[Blu1]

If we get through & play Liverpool I do worry pep only knows how to attack. Without strikers we really can’t keep missing chances. At 3-1 we should of shut this game down instead of trying to score another. Just makes no sense to me.

a top striker this season we really could of won everything.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Well that really hurt.... To me, it feels like we lost 2 nil.

Just watched their second goal again. What the fuck was Laporte playing at. That’s some of the worst defending I’ve ever seen in the CL, utter dreadful.

He has form for playing shit in big CL games and I’d be tempted to start Ake ahead of him next week.

 

[SWPISHOME]

He didn’t need to have his arm as high as he did though, not at the top of the jump.

Think it was unlucky but I get why it was given.

Are you serious? When does any defender jump in the air with his hands down to head the ball away? The ball hit off his head onto his arm, It should have been overturned.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Take your City hat off for a second....

How many millions worldwide watch that thrilling game of football?

We beat Real Madrid and the world watched a truly sensational game.

As Shearer said....

"When you look at it from a neutral point of view - the goals, the atmosphere... It's just been an unbelievable night....It was a joy to be here. It was a joy to watch."

100% true - but it's like telling a parent of a boxer who is watching their child trade blows in a 12 round slug-fest to enjoy the fight: the appreciation/relief comes when the final bell rings and your child has won.

 

[Father Paul]

I dont think so.

We gifted them 2 goals,but could have scored 6.

Game in Madrid we will be well up for it with Cancelo and Walker back hopefully.

We can not have Fernandinho play,he will get rinsed he is 36 and looks it.

We are the better team by a mile.

If Ferno had put your man in the stand as he normally does we would all be looking for accommodation in Paris. Hard to understand how one of the masters of the dark arts got done like that but hey.

 

[urban genie]

We are ahead in the tie, we can put 4 past these cunts and with actual full backs in the away leg and hopefully all CBs fit we have fuck all to fear from going there and winning.

Don't get how anyone can feel disapointed with that game, we moan like fuck about teams parking the bus, then some moan when teams play football too.

 

[Blu1]

play like that with walker and cancelo we will win 3 1 in madrid

Yes with walker not cancelo as he will leave big gaps behind him & zinc was great tonight

 

[Don Karleone]

If this is correct then surely a VAR review says no Pen?

Where is that from? I was saying the same earlier and got told the rules had changed.

 

[manimanc]

Well that really hurt.... To me, it feels like we lost 2 nil.

I'll have a pint of what you're having.

 

[mcfc_ms]

A poster on here said the other day it will be just like the Monaco game years ago…. They were right

A bit disappointing we didn’t win more convincingly when we should have, but we hopefully have Walker back next week and make our way into the final

 

[14aguero]

City carry a slim advantage into the second half. A confident calm play should be enough. Getting Cancelo back will be good. I would hope for the pairing of Stones and Dias, but such probably is unlikely.

 

[Bluearmy]

He didn’t need to have his arm as high as he did though, not at the top of the jump.

Think it was unlucky but I get why it was given.

The only unnatural place to have your arms while playing football is down by your sides.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

For me it's all laid bare for everyone to see. We waste so many chances, and the only thing I can hang my hat on is that the away goals don't count as they used to. We need Walker back asap, as he is the only defender in the squad that has pace to burn. Having said all that we've just put four past Real Madrid and I'm sure we'll create enough chances next week over there to win the game out right, its just whether we can take them. They have Benzema who would probably score 30 to 35+ if he played for us, what a finisher that guy is.

 

[SidJames]

We just beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the semi Final of the Champions League.

We go over there as favorites.

Think only of the positives on such a wonderful night for our great Club.

We also just put on a great game of football for neutral fans Globally.And beat the greatest Club in World football.

Also i actually prefer 4-3 to 4-2.

Reason being you have a couple of goals advantage you change mindset, try and consolidate the advantage, and deviate away from playing your natural game.It can actually work against you.Chelsea were actually unlucky not to put Madrid out in the end, after losing that first Leg.

We will play our normal game and go Toe to Toe,we have nothing to fear.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

play like that with walker and cancelo we will win 3 1 in madrid

Fuckin dead right CS

 

[didactic]

All the whingers are turning into Madrid fans 5 years ago we wouldn’t be in this position. Yet we beat the best team in CL history and people are complaining.

Watch your blood pressure people and just enjoy the ride.

 

[svennis pennis]

If Ferno had put your man in the stand as he normally does we would all be looking for accommodation in Paris. Hard to understand how one of the masters of the dark arts got done like that but hey.

He was way too tight on him to react. Lovely assist for the Foden goal mind.

 

[Octavian]

Little citeh put four past real fucking Madrid and it could have been 8 and no one would have batted an eyelid. We go again. 6wins more.

7 wins ;-)
