Lescott thinks Real are lucky to only have a 1 goal decifit

 

Carra just said the same on CBS.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

They looked a bit flat in the interviews there. 
 

Poor lads.

Ahaa

 

But did he decifit or deficit?

That one's gone over my head mate...

 

Schmeichel just said it should have been 6-0

Does Pep rest a couple key players at Leeds ? Champions league got to be their priority surely

Perhaps normally no, but Pep and head-loppers Inc will be paying the big bonuses for the CL. 

It will be a failure for them to finish the season with just a PL title.

Ferland Mendy is a bants footballer.

What?

[manwiththestick]

Oh goody. I switched off at 3-1 thinking it was going to end 4 or 5 to 1. Came in here just now with a bit of trepidation so delighted to see there is only one goal in it.

 

Still fancy City to go through but Pep will be frustrated due to the missed chances and now has to go full pelt next week which could affect his selection at the weekend.

 

Fingers crossed.

[torahboy]

Guardiola looked more than a bit deflated at the end. His head will be wrecked figuring out his priorities at the weekend. Hope he feeds the stress through to his players. Both sides defended like amateurs, though,  and I can see another goal wreck next week.

City didn’t look overly happy at full time.

 

I can understand why, they’ll feel that they should have finished the tie tonight and have let Madrid back into it.

 

I remember us beating Leverkusen 3-1 at Anfield in 2005. We scored in injury time (Hamman free kick I think) to make it 3-0 and then Dudek dropped a bollock with the last kick off the game for 3-1. Despite us still winning, it completely took the shine off it and I was more annoyed afterwards.
 

That’s how City will feel now. They’ll be ignoring the fact they won the game, they’ll be massively fucked off it’s still in the balance.

Ferland Mendy is a bants footballer. Can’t defend and useless going forward.

 

And got 2 assists regardless.

[Chris]

Haha! Get on this...

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Benzema’s penalty was coolness personified. The BT Sport team have mentioned all the factors that made it a pressure penalty, apart from the knobhead City fans shining lasers in his face.

Going to be interesting to see who Pep picks for the Leeds game.

 

Fair to say that Marsh has Leeds playing both more defensively and physically. Let's hope whoever refs that game lets the challenges fly in without repercussion.

A pity they've got the extra day to recover.

Would you believe the utterly unbiased and totally competent Paul Tierney?

In an ideal world they would be playing the Wednesday-sat 12:30

[Vincent Vega]

I thought that was a poor performance by Real Madrid, so to be just one goal behind and a second leg at home they must be delighted with that. City still seem to have a bit of a complex about this competition which will hopefully benefit us if we do meet them in Paris. 
 

Also, nice one Benzema, won me £80 off a £5 free bet.

A wily old fox like Ancelotti won’t think his team are out of it yet.

Out of it?

 

He'll think, rightly so, that they'll be going through.

[A_S]

I remember feeling flat when Roma got 2 late goals to bring it back to 5-2. Granted, away goals had that extra weight, but it left the door ever so slightly ajar when it should have been shut, dead-bolted and welded for good measure. 

 

City will be frustrated as fuck with that. 

[3 Stacks]

There's an irrarional element to Real Madrid. They aren't on City's level and should have lost to both Chelsea and PSG. But Benzema is walking on water and Vinicius and Modric are also decisive. It's literally 3 players against whole teams and they're always finding a way.

It’s staggering to see the amount go average players in their team; their entire back line is very skittish; Eder is no good, Carvajal is done, Mendy is shite, not entirely convinced by Alaba at CB either. The likes of Ceballos, Asensio, Rodrygo aren’t of the standard required.

[joe_fishfish]

Alaba was dreadful last night, he's a great footballer but I'm not sure he's a great centre back. They'd look loads better with him at left back instead of Mendy and a proper defender in the middle.

 

They're still massively up against it in the second leg. Can't see past City getting yet another early goal over there. How many more heroics does Benzema have left?
