Real Madrid post match post mortem

[Kippax77]

On the plus side we win the league AGAIN, unless Howard wants differently

 

[Crooked_rain]

Same with Grealish. He can do what Doku does, but he never does. And fair enough, if that's how you want him to play, but why does Doku get free reign to take people on when Bernardo and Grealish (and Mahrez before) are clearly told to hold onto possession? I'm fully expecting Doku in a couple of years to be just recycling the ball instead of taking anyone on.

Grealish is a strange one. we saw in the first half agaibst Carvajal he took him on and got round him with ease and then he never attempted it again. He can do it, just like he can go on the outside and put crosses in but rarely does.

I don't know , im a fan of Jack and if he's been ordered to just hold onto the ball then what can you do? but I think he's got more he could show if he's either willing or allowed.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Why didn't Rodri take a pen?

 

[PinkFinal]

Come on Bayern!

 

[TinFoilHat]

wtf was bernardo thinking with that penalty, and as for the prick in the crowd that kept the ball, ban the **** for life!

Percentages.

95% of the time the keeper would have dived and we'd been laughing at him taking the piss.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Give over? Saturday is going to be a killer for the lads after that.

We back them and they'll back themselves. We weren't beat tonight. We weren't outplayed. There's no mental block where we're concerned.

 

[baggy]

I dont want Bellingham to win it for some reason. Maybe because he's an arrogant diving ****

Psg v Madrid final with mbappe scoring an injury time winner would be ok

 

[DisturbedSwan]

Boys gave it everything, proud of them tonight, didn’t really put a foot wrong aside from the Madrid goal, which had a touch of luck to it.

Wasn’t our night at the end of the day. We’ll be back.

 

[coolcity]

Bringing on Alvarez killed us. No coincidence we suddenly couldn’t get the ball to Doku.

Ultimately we are mature enough to know you take your chances in this tournament or you go out.

Did anyone actually think we could win on the penalties?

Yes. We scored 5 v Sevilla.

Could somebody please explain why those who think we should have done this or we should have done that, like we're a team off robots who get everything spot on every time with laser accuracy?

 

[ancoats]

5 years of going hard in every competition, We all need to calm down and take it like winners and champions.

Treble winners
Super cup
World club trophy

Not many teams in world football can stand up to what we have done and achieved and still be going for more

 

[Phoenix900000]

67% possession
33 shots
18 corners
How, just how?

Poor at corners
And not enough good shots that's how sadly

 

[Sk@mcfc]

I

Jude Bellingham is a plastercine prick.

hate the ****

 

[Tomblue]

One of the most bent referees you will ever see.

We've got the monkey off our back in that competition anyway couldn't care less if we never win it again.

 

[FatedBlue77]

Like…….what??

 

[lee one pen]

Psg v Madrid final with mbappe scoring an injury time winner would be ok

I’ll take that

 

[citymad]

67% possession
33 shots
18 corners
How, just how?

The passes must be a record high surely ? They fucking hardly touched the ball apart from being hit or booting it away.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Why didn't Rodri take a pen?

Was thinking the same. Thought the Kovacic one was bizarre.

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Even the TNT commentators couldn’t believe it was only 67% posession as we were so dominant. But to be honest the slow build up and constant square and backward passes has hurt us, and not for the first time this season. What has happenned to the team that used to hit opponents at speed ?

This is one of the worst Guardiola teams. At City only the 1st year was so bad. And im a big fan of him. But thats the true

 

[Nellies left peg]

Taking our penalty takers off was a complete mystery to me and Real didn’t have a shot on target that I can remember after their goal. Eddie showed us how to take a pen

 

[didactic]

Was not our day it happens. We are the better team but they had luck on their side. Foden and KDB score it’s 3-1 before extra time. Doku was exceptional.
