Real Madrid vs Man City

Pep can’t seem to get a team set up properly for big, one off games. No way should City have lost to Chelsea last year. No way should they have lost to a RM who were behind between minute 4 of the first leg and minute 90 of the second leg. And how does a top top side concede 6 goals to this RM.

Imagine KdB watching on in the last 40 minutes or so from the bench. This City have never been as good defensively as they are playing on the front foot. Pep ‘let’s shore it up’ when he had no need to, and Stirling and Grealish added very little against a tired back line.

Difficult to understand how City lost that over the two ties, but somehow they managed it.

Ref was a complete homer as well. Shocking.

KDB was shocking tonight so not surprised he was subbed

Tbf Grealish almost scored twice in a minute which kills the game, and any manager would’ve ‘shored it up’ with a 2 goal lead and not long left.

agree not sure how they list it mind, and Casemiro’s non bookings?!!!

Liverpool must really fancy the final against Real. This is not a vintage Real side at all. They've performed three miracles on the trot, surely they'll run out of luck at some point. 

Pressure for Pep on the Prem now, only trophy they can win, and he's yet again spent an absolute fortune. 

Undoubtedly, though Vini Jr could have Trent Alexander-Arnold for dinner

Not sure what's gone on but if it was us I'd be fuming! Should be at least 5 added, got 3. Played 2:53 (in possession) . Ref and 4th official prepared to be quite clear on there support of anything non-english . Great tie. City should have won it in 90 and that's on them. But some suspect stuff at the end there. A free kick not given on sterling/grealish (one of them) also a real wonder. Fingers crossed for Liverpool as they now represent the best in England. City could understandably crumble in the league now

Even Grealish created 2 great chances. I stud away from sealing the result

Maybe in hindsight I am being far too harsh. The shape just seemed to go to long balls rather than possession.

Anyhow, I think a real advantage Madrid now have is really they only have one major match to focus on, League is done for them. Liverpool clearly need to continue going full pelt until they meet. May even have impacted City tonight that every game for a while has been important. Don’t actually like one nation CL finals, but these two legs were a classic.

Hopefully an unbent ref in the final as well.

Yep, he’s shelled out around £124m this season but he’s recouped at least £90m in transfers out - so has he really ‘spent an absolute fortune’ ?

To be pedantic, yes he has spent a fortune. 

BUT, he's also received a fortune as well

Erm you still have to be lucky enough to be able to shell out £100m for a bit part player in the first place. You're not seriously trying to form an argument that Man City "haven't spent that much" are you? 

He has the highest wage bill in the Prem and has spent over £1bn. 

So, yes, he has spent an absolute fortune. And not delivered a CL trophy in six years.

This is real madrid though, winning champions leagues is what they do best! They may run out of luck but they wont lose that never give up attitude!

True. But Liverpool have better pedigree in this competition than Man City. They win European trophies too, and player for player, I believe they are better than Real. 

All Real's big successes this season have come at the Bernabeu, can they do it in Paris? Gonna be a a cracker but Liverpool favourites for me.

Yes. Almost a billion pounds since he joined them. If that's not an 'absolute fortune' to you, then God knows what is.

They will but they will also wonder if Real Madrid's name is on the cup. It's that sort of run where it almost seems fate. 

Man City went to pop when KDB was subbed and Walker injured.. at 2-1 they just resorted to long balls.  You know with Liverpool that probably 9 players are already picked in that final with only Henderson/Keita and Jota/Diaz the questions.. baring injuries.  

Peps run in the CL with Man City must be questioned sooner or later, they routine seem to bottle it 

All it does will mean Man City will get stronger next season, they should have scored 10 goals in the 2 legs, Pep will be in front of the board today saying - ‘told you we should have bust our balls for Kane’

Definitely the better team and should have wrapped this tie up already. But Real have a habit this season of pulling off unexpected comebacks, so who knows. 

Could be a classic. 

What's the lottery numbers?

I'd be more worried about the fact that they conceded six over two legs
