Real Madrid post match post mortem

[skillman]

On the plus side, Arsenal were shite again apparently - their confidence must be knocked which bodes well.

.... And 'Hey Jude' wtf..

Think it would be weird if didn't play the song that has been played before every game for as long as remember just because the opposition happen to have a players who's first name is Jude. Where does that stop, what if a player happens to have moon as surname

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Come on guys it's Real Madrid and we made them look shit for virtual all the game. Brain fart by walker and as expected bad penalties as we're crap at them. Just a bad draw in the first place it really should have been the final

 

[David Kloppesh]

The same Walker that owned Vinicius tonight. Doku created the equalizer. Good lord there is some shit being spouted tonight. Think this tops it, well done.

whatever man.

 

[johnny crossan]

Out aces, out of luck, out of Europe and Bernie's got his ticket out too. Never more glad morn.

 

[citymad]

The shit on here is embarrassing .....some of you should be ashamed. CTID...no just while we're winning like some of you fickle twats

Just seen a blue agreeing with you and then said he said it’s all on Pep tonight ycnmiu

 

[Bluearmy]

I agree, in principle. But, tonight had nothing to do with Kevs efforts.
We missed Gundogan tonight, and we lost because we didn't replace him.

His efforts arent the issue….. but that loss of a yard/stamina is the difference at this level, as hard as that is to take

 

[madloaf]

whatever man.

This is the kind of high brow debate that I expect from BM

 

[ThreesKompany]

Need a post match wankers meme, it seems.

Also some Real Madrid fans parroting “football heritage”. I didn’t see this so called “football heritage” today. This so called “football heritage” parked the bus for over 90 mins and were getting piled on. This so called “football heritage” went through on a penalty shootout against Ederson in goal(which is not asking for much).

Congrats to Madrid but what’s sure as hell is tonight the better team lost. I guess we’re used to that by now haha.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Tonight stings no doubt but we've got Wembley at the weekend and we're in pole position for our fourth title in as many years. We'll go again.

 

[Dribble]

Can't argue with any of that. They defended well and did all the usual shitehousing to spoil and slow the game down. Our half asleep start cost us. As time ran out somebody needed to gamble with a shot. Kev a big miss for a player of his quality. We left everything out there and it's small.margins. The crowd raised themselves after a quiet beginning. I could fucking slap Bernardo for that penalty. Win the league now the cups probably too far after tonight's efforts.

That will be the biggest question in the post mortem. Why the fuck did we dampen down the mood with the old man walking football from the outset? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Last season Real faced a white hot Etihad which intimidated the fuck out of them. They've been mentioning our fierce, scary atmosphere all week, so why didn't we set our stall out to give them a repeat?

We made a rod for our own backs, & aside from the Rudiger miss, Real hardly touched or threatened us.

We should've had the flags out & whipped the crowd up to a frenzy, but we seemed to come with tactics over emotion, meaning we didn't capitalise on our home advantage.

Real didn't win tonight, we lost through our strange decision to start the way we did. Alas, it's another painful lesson learned, & with Mbappé & Endrick to arrive at Real next season, they'll be even more dangerous on the break.

Tonight was a massive opportunity missed.

 

[Vester]

it was simply not good enough. Defending poor as every game this season. We had a lot of shots but was not able to create enough big chances. When it went to penalties we all knew it was over before the first kick. I trust these players with a lot, but taking pens is certainly not one of those things.

Very disappointed with our performance today.

 

[citymad]

whatever man.

We’re all upset but come on don’t talk nonsense.

I still can not understand how Dias left that ball to be crossed!

 

[PrezIke]

Kyle spent more time worrying about offsides than watching Rodrigo on their goal watching again.

Hearing Henry about defending.

Feel we did overall as well.

The chances missed: Haaland, KDB, and Foden missed chances were massive and Haaland's was SO close.

Wonder why not mixing up with more short corner routines?

Some thoughts about CL or some claims to rebuke RM "magic" arguments or same with Bayern or Barca.

It's fun, and I enjoy the quality a lot...

but I think PL sides have and will continue to have a disadvantage

Especially when fighting for the title and multiple cups.

Some of the winners from PL recently weren't in their title race.

RM sometimes not in theirs or way ahead (this season, coincidence?) and I'd BET focus WAY MORE on CL.

Bayern the same. Usually ahead by 1000 points most seasons, or this year OUT OF IT.

Both can have a lot of talent and massive egos. PSG thought they could model this but it was too much ego.

This is why last year's treble I'd argue seen as more respected by any football fan who is honest with themselves.

If you watch 'Together' and see the culture than is present in the club.

I am asking myself how I can listen to The Guardian's pod posted Monday

Where the entire lineup hate City with A PASSION and must think the Liverpool and Arsenal billionares are morally on higher ground and made it through saving the Earth and humanity or I guess put their lives on the line for "human rights"

And the first words out of Max Rushdin's mouth are about how it's basically cognitive dissonance to see CIty as anything other than "the baddies" and his intro already leaning into hints at "boring"

Makes me want to BEG to come on the show one week and make them sound like the hypocrites they can't see they are.

 

[bluemc1]

Missed one on one v Luton,palace,Liverpool and missed an open goal v united missed big chances v Chelsea and spurs

He puts all those away last season

Plus the 5 against Luton make his goals per game look better

No way he’s in Peps best 11, he’s not a Pep player I’m a million years
Got to be a contract or brand thing
He’s awful

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Did just say we lent the trophy to Madrid last year??

Here comes the hate wagon..

if we ever go to war i just hope i don’t get stuck in the trenches with you my mate!

 

[jim tolmies perm]

It's a shame they got rid of the away goals rule isn't it! After going out on the away goals rule to Monaco and Spurs in recent times it was almost inevitable that within a couple of years of ditching it this would happen!
It did feel like so many frustrating CL exits of reason times , where it just wasn't going to be our night.
Let's hope we can recharge our batteries for Saturday and really go for the double now. I do also wonder which Chelsea will turn up, hopefully the shit version!

The Pochetino "I'm Peps nemesis but can't win fuck all" **** version

 

[Rammy Blue]

Out aces, out of luck and Bernie's got his ticket out too. Never more glad morn.

In English?
