Real Madrid post match post mortem

[Airdrie76]

Worry is Saturday now. A lot of players put in huge effort and I can see Pep playing a vastly changed team. I guess a positive (its not!) is 2 or 3 less games and a double is still impressive - but who starts v Chelsea I wouldnt like to guess. Did anyone think the opening 13 minutes were the strangest in a long time!? We had no urgency and in trying to (I presume) not lose a goal and keep the game tight... somehow managed to lose a goal. We only got going once they'd scored.

I’m actually still fuming over that prick keeping that ball for so long when bernado was about to take the penalty.

Had to be Madrid fans surely.. no one would be that stupid otherwise

Perhaps Bernardo took that interesting penalty to spite the character who held on to the ball?

Actually, I’d expect that theory from a dipper.

A dipper would float the story that the SAS were responsible for kidnapping the ball ordered by the Tories.

no, its classified as a draw since it went to pens

So Madrid technically have still never won at the Etihad?

Or blame Chelsea fans

Not gone through the whole thread but has the lack of injury time been discussed?

1 minute when they'd had two players down injured and strolled off.

 

[eyalluvitt]

That was a genuine moment of pleasure, actually. And he did what everybody says he does in training.

Why don't we try playing Ed up front, and Erling in goal…?

Cool, composed and clinical , why o why didn’t he take our 2nd pen

Tbh you guys deserved to win that tie imo. You largely outplayed them for most of the tie. We deserved fuck all against Bayern as we couldnt create anything and were naive.

Am I the only one thinking the congested fixture list in England in contrast to the European teams hampered us?

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Proud of our club, our manager, our team, our supporters. Everyone played their part last night, unfortunately we didn't win.

Firstly the crowd were fucking fantastic, 1st half TNT crowd noise was sooo quiet, watched Bein for 2nd half the fans were the genuine article, loud, proud and relentless.

Team were superb, every player played their part, imperious against a supposedly European giant, made them look like an expensive albeit mis-jointed outfit, mainly defending.

Pep please stay forever

Penalties are a lottery

A double is still on

Let's not be entitled, it is what it is, we ain't 7th

Up until Qatar 2022 started actually counting it, injury time has always just been random bullshit.

I've argued for years that the game clock should stop when the ball is out of play for throw ins, corners, goals and fouls then you play until the ball is out or a goal is scored after 45 or 90 (not for fouls to prevent tactical fouling)
