Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

I'm pretty young so it's probably number one for me spurs close second but feel if we couldn't get past spurs we didn't deserve it anyway I really believed in our chances this year
 
Relegations were bad but we knew we were crap and it was expected. Felt sad but was resigned to it.

With last night and last years final we know we are the top team so its more anger and frustration than sadness.

Weirdly the most angry was when we let the rags come back to beat us 3-2. A once in my lifetime chance to win the league at theirs and we blew it.

I'm 22 so I didn't really see the bad days when we were playing in the league 1. I'm in so much pain over that loss last night. I wont get over it until we get to the final in next season Istanbul and win. Even if we win the league I just wont be satisfied. I want the champions league so badly

It does seem to be an age thing ! My lad is 25 and so much wants to win the CL. Me I not really bothered it's the league all day long for me that matters.

Same with England his mates and him all wanted England to win the WC. He says all his mates dads and me couldnt care less lol
 
We dine at this table now, and we’ll be in the same part of the competition next season I have no doubt.

An hour after kick off I likened it to when big Crouchy scored to deny us our first season in the CL. I remember getting over that easy too, as i knew we’d eventually make it.

Last seasons final took days, maybe weeks to get over. Purely because it was a fuck up from the get go.

Madrid don’t know when they’re beat, it’s admirable and is somewhere and something we need to be and learn. We will, too.

If we win the league, which we need to be doing, it’s been another hugely successful season.
 
This is what it's like being a city fan and I'd rather lose it at this stage than not get there at all. The only really annoying and frustrating thing is we did not deserve to lose at all. How many English teams have been the clear favourite going to Real Madrid though? We've come a very long way.

They're all laughing at us today but they're laughing because they know how good we are and how much we deserved it. The biggest always fall the furthest but they'll change their tune when we turn up even better next year.

It's time for Pep to announce he's doing another 4 years and they can all go back to minding the gap.
 
Worst ever was 1981 Cup Final replay. Being there added to the dismay.

But has ever a defeat from the jaws of victory been watched by so many people world-wide as last night's was? Plus it's taken away some of the anticipation from the trip to Paris we've planned ever since the final got switched there from Russia. All booked & paid for, now i have to leave my City scarf at home.
 
For me it’s behind Owen’s late winner, spurs in the champions league, Scholes’ late winner and RVP’s late winner.

However it is the first one to leave me a little stunned. The others had high levels of disappointment but last night’s quick passage from ecstasy to agony was new. Plus the actual game went pretty perfectly for 85 minutes.

Not sure I agree with that. Pep played a second string team in the FA Cup knowing full well we would most likely go out (same last year) to focus on the prem and champions league.

After last night, that decision looks a ridiculous one.

Yes winning the prem would be a great achievement but I wouldn't say it's a 'hugely successful' season taking the last few weeks into account.

I honestly and with 100% truthfulness can say that I am not arsed in the slightest. Not even a tiny bit.
This whole charade of a competition is a farce, and always has been. It is peopled by yesterdays men, yesterdays clubs, and is a cartel of, and for, the history clubs, and the acceptable (white) face of ‘new money’.
I won’t lie, seeing the acceptable face of mainstream racism handing over the prized trophy to a club with owners who look like ours, would have had a certain feeling of poetic “fuck you” to it, but even that would never, could never, come remotely close to the feeling of us handing them their arse in a courtroom. THAT was the fight the club could not afford to lose, or there would have been little or no club left to pick the bones out of afterwards.
Last night, and all the other nights in their fancy competition, are a necessary evil the club has to participate in, in order to sign the players we sign who regularly deliver the real prize. Champions of the worlds most prestigious and hardest to win league anywhere in world sport - the premier league.
The aftermath begins at weekend. I have nothing but absolute faith in this manager and this group of players to deliver the real prize. Champions of England and breaker of murderous hearts. Again.

Been a City fan since 1965. Seen many many disappointments, but last night hurts badly. The manner of the defeat, A 2 goal lead at 90 mins, and then the unimaginable. On a par with Luton for me.

Agree, that one left me shattered for a while and felt anti climatic when they gave us it a few weeks later.

It’s genuinely nowhere near as high on my list as you would think. Maybe it’s because I was more stunned than disappointed at the time, or maybe it’s because I’m just not as invested in the champions league as I could be.

I’ll be more disappointed if we drop points on Sunday and let that lot go above us.

I can honestly say that I might have penned that response , exactly as I feel.

I always think coming out top after 38 hard games is a mark of huge success. It’s relentless.

Of course winning more on top just adds to that level of success, but the CL aside for a sec, I’d much rather see us lifting the league title than lifting one of the other domestic cups. They’re a mark of luck primarily, and deemed some success as a result.

Champions of England though? Huge.
