unbelievable how vardrid are still alive in the tie and walking to bernabeu with just a 1 goal deficit.

City with all those stupid mistakes

these mfs are simply clinical as hell, there is a reason they won 3 CL in a row.

[Superblue 6,370]

For how great the football is that City play they do have a soft, susceptible side to them that has been exposed a number of times when they play opposition good enough and bold enough to take them on.

It is something over the years when push comes to shove we've shown a lot more resolve in the face of adversity, especially in Europe.

I think Madrid will fancy their chances going into the second leg.

That's always been the case with sides managed by Pep. His Barca side where able to push through it most of the time thanks to having a genius.

City were sloppy tho, as were we.

They were clinical but at some point their luck will run out. They are creating next to 0 chances on their own

some here said, give Guardiola our team and he wins the league... I'd rather say give Tuchel City's team and they wipe the floor with real 6-0 today.

A  true Real Madrid will send Pep packing home next week.
I don't like them anymore because they are thieves but the 3.10 price for the home win at Bernabeu is inviting for a short holiday in Mykonos / Valearides.
2night the submarine will k.o. the scousers.

Laporte is a moron

he is why Pep wants Pau Torres

Laporte was never the same (not saying physically, just mentally and play wise) after that big knee injury back a couple years ago

so strange

he is not shit now, but pre injury, he was an easy top 10 CB

the Stones started to finally play well again, and it has been on-again-off-again for Laporte ever since

also (and thus is madness as Pep has spent over £230m on fullbacks) they still need a true LB

sure Cancelo (out this game) as righted footed LB has been great, BUT Walker is not going to last forever (he turns 32 next month)

and then Cancelo surely goes back to RB, his natural position

Ake is decent as a rotational Citeh CB, but he is not a LB up to the level they need

Pep has wanted José Gayà for ages, but Valencia will not budge off his insane 100m euro release clause

Gayà is out of contract in 2023, so unless he renews, maybe Citeh will finally get him, granted at 28 (turns 29 yo at the end of the season after next), not 23yo

this game truly showed how shit Éder Militão is

was so burnt so many times

and how shit their defence in the MF is without Casemiro

Would take him for sure, but also would have bernardo, kdb, Jesus, Mahrez, foden and Sterling over any of our attackers bar Kai

 

Villareal are getting spanked tonight, can't see it any other way.

One thing's certain, Villareal will not get a penalty - none v Liverpool for any team there for 15 months.

This is European football; I doubt Liverpool will be so fortunate with decisions tonight.

I still expect them to score a few, though.
