Still can't get over Kompany bloody DUCKING under Ronaldo's shot. What the fuck was going on in his mind.

Highlighted this in the ore match thread I know it won't go down well in on here but I would have dropped him not lescott
Something is terribly wrong with our defence. When is the last time we had a clean sheet???
 
What's changed from the team from 18 months ago that could shut up shop with 10 minutes left, 20 minutes left or even for 90 minutes (Arsenal away)? We need to get that mentality back.
 
Extremely pleased, even in defeat.

Got in the ring with the biggest boys and made them work like fuck to beat us.

We have to remember we were at the Bernabeu playing the 2nd best team in the world on their turf. They had to bring on two class players to finally beat us. Not many teams will get anything there and we so very nearly did. Shows how far we've come.

Thought Nastasic was very very impressive for such a young man on his debut in such a high profile game. Thought Clichy was a fucking animal throughout. Joe Hart has just shown why he's the best goalie in the world.

Realistically we wont face a better team than that in this competition. The hardest test is out of the way and we performed really well.

If we play to that level throughout we'll get through the group without a doubt.

well done blues I'm proud of you :)

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.

110% agree with you Damocles. We never gave up and that is what I love about us. Ok we didn't win but by golly we fought for it.

Amen.

With all of the new fans around here fella, don't forget the immortal words of Noel Gallagher.

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 still played a very good game, just not quite good enough to beat one of the best teams in the world on their own ground

Have some perspective
