Real Madrid Vs Manchester City Post Match Thread

Gutted but in all fairness we didn't deserve anything from the game. Outplayed for most of it. Garcia really didn't impress me tonight.

We are improving but still a long way to go.

Re: CITY support amazing tonite

Absolutely superb.

Well done ladies and gentlemen you did us proud.

I wish we had an easier game than Arsenal at the weekend.

Players need time to recover - mentally and physically.

We now know we can compete with the very best and I will not be frightened about going to Real madrid or Barcelona again.

zabaleta had a howler.....directly responsible for both 1st and 3rd goal............
great performance by toure......Nastasic looked great.......just have to increase intensity in our play......

Was Zabaletta on for the first goal?

 

[Tevez City]

Kolarov and Zabaleta are the weakest links in the team.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

Can't fault any of the players, all played well.

We went to the Bernabeu in the Champions League and nearly nicked it. How far have we come in ten years, blues? How far away did this seem under Ball and Royle? I look at the Bernabeu and think of the Gene Kelly Stand between the Kippax and the North, it almost seems a lifetime ago.

But this is our journey; a journey that few are privileged to undertake. We were there when we were battling Macclesfield at Moss Rose and we were there when battling Real at the Bernabeu.

I'm gutted that we've lost after being in front twice but such a performance at such a ground brings the whole takeover home.

This one result taken on it's own is gutting; but if you take it in its full context of the progress that we have made, then it's a marker. We aren't quite there yet. We're almost there, but not quite; a cake without a cherry.

We look at the investment in the club, we look at the new Academy project and the investment into youth like Nastatric (who was wonderful), and like Rodwell this year.

We went to the Bernabeu and make no mistake, we shit up Real Madrid.

Gutted about the result but this game has brought home all of the emotions after the takeover. In that game, the world of football stopped laughing at City and started taking notice. We will be back, we are here to stay. Fair play to Real for having the better of us on the day, but this fixture will soon be the norm around the Etihad.

This is the best I've ever felt after a loss.

Amen.

I'm going to chill and gather my thoughts and post tomorrow.

Fucking great performance from the team and I am proud to support us today. They all gave their best and it was very refreshing to see us play well against arguably the worlds best team. Hope we have no one bitching on here, we can't complain, only positives to take, especially Nastasic's performance.

I agree mostly with this, its just that we look shaky at the back and we could have played better - way too sloppy in possession (mainly 1st half).

Proud to be a Manchester city fan tonight,unlucky lads they have got to come here yet.
