Real Madrid post match post mortem

[Keeper!]

How would you prepare with a goalie that almost never saves a penalty? Pep knows its a waste of time

Absolute and utter shit comment, shameful.

Foden played centrally in second half switching with Bernardo.

From the start. To win the game.
Not an after thought..no way should we doing after thoughts v real Madrid at home,on a 3-3 Cliff hanger ffs.

Same outcome as virtually every other big game this season, dominance but lacking the creativity of the past, it’s a familiar story, proud of the team and everything we have achieved, I think we need some adjustments to evolve though

Correct, we've fallen short against the "better" teams all season.

We got knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter finals of the champions league after they played backs to the wall which they hardly ever do but well done lads for having a right go . We can’t win every game and guess what we might not win a trophy this season but that’s ok as they give everything on the pitch . Shane on city fans slagging them off .

We create chances but fail to put them away, typified by missing penalties from 12 yards out without a defender in sight.

Whilst we do create chances they are nowhere near as frequent as they once were. The De Bruyne one was very good and Foden's was a bit more than a half chance, but think the original poster has a point that we don't seem to create as many.

Feels like in past few seasons we could miss 3 or 4 chances and be ok because another 2 or 3 will come along. Now it's a case of having to take every chance we make because they're harder to come by.

Thinking back to the Madrid semi final last season, we were hammering their goal before we scored and missed loads in between the goals we got too.

Cannot remember their keeper making a host of saves, everything just feels slower. It's a familiar theme for me, not going to be critical though, these players have played non stop for the best part of 2 years, relentless consistency, Pep is so right to praise them

 

[East Level 2]

Plus the coward got hit in the balls with the ball and gave a drop ball when not our player responible or problem and was nearly vomiting blood to boot. Then we gave them the ball back, WTF?

What a soft Mother Fucker. Vexed this Morning.

City had possession when the ball hit the ref so I thought we would get the drop ball according to the new law.
Unless UEFA have decided it goes to the defending team as it did for the dippers at Forest the other week.
I think it does if it's in the area, but this was clearly outside.

Pep always says you need a bit of luck and you look at the two legs Madrid certainly had the luck because we were the better team over the two legs!

Funny really this morning I'm over us going out we did all we can and just didn't have it fall for us that bit of luck!

 

[Paul1970]

Even though I’m ok with getting knocked by Madrid I’m still shocked at this arkanji into midfield business as it doesn’t work .

Pep should have sent someone else up for the pen as soon as that clueless fool messed with Bernie's focus. This tiktok attention seeking era has to come to an end at some point. So sick of these silly fans and their obsession for attention. It's not like people run up to you while working to distract you (assuming the fool has a job) or take your working tools for fun and then return it when they feel like i. Football might seem like fun to those watching but Bernie was WORKING yesterday, that's his job!!!

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Just feels like such a wasted opportunity last night, particularly when you look at the teams left this year....

We fucked around with the ball for long periods last night, just shifting it back and forth on the edge of there penalty area....

 

[Roachy]

I hope this trend of playing quite well and not seeing teams off ended last night.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Absolute and utter shit comment, shameful.

Look, I'm just saying it like it is. The only preparations we can do at this point is throw Ortega in when it's time for penalties. I fear it's too late for Eddy to improve in saving penalties, he just doesn't seem interested in doing that.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Good luck Munich, Good luck Dortmund.

Fuck the German rags, I hope they get tonked..!!

 

[bobom]

Can't really gripe at going out of the CL quarter* finals against Madrid on penalties. They defended well, we struggled to create good chances.

Am a bit concerned about tired legs for the FA cup, but the upside is fewer fixtures in the PL run-in.

Edit

Shit comment and utter and totally disrespectful to a wonderful City player.

Felt like that Pellegrini game against RM, going out with a whimper

He saved one out of 5 and even scored one

 

[Tolmie scores]

I don’t think it’s hate for him, just frustration at a penalty like that. When he’s taken a penalty in the past he whips it to the top corner, why he decided to take it like that, he’s probably asking himself the same question.
I love Bernardo, by the way.

And the idiot in the crowd..hang their head. Small margins.

I suppose we will hear all about how madrid know how to get games won. Can't argue, but the reality was that we had them penned in for a large part of the game, but wasted the good chances we had. Rodri showed the media that Bellingham is not sat at his table yet.
