***Madrid v Champions CL Semi Final Official Match Thread***

[s1ty m]

Real Madrid are absolutely kicking us to bits here. Carvajal has the Casemiro 'freedom to foul' card. Rudiger, I would like to beat him with my shoe until we both cried, a revolting, replusive thug better suited to rugby. City had Real at their mercy and totally failed to capitalise. They then get cunty and it looks uphill, going forward. I would love KDB, Haaland and Bernardo to turn up, just saying.

This is 3-0 unless we get a grip.

Started so well. Fucking fuming.

[Sideshow Bob]

it started early with rudigers fucking assault on gundo. no card, not even a foul. no mention of it from the commentators. theyve been allowed to do as they please thx to this cunt ref, and when we lose there wont be so much as a whisper about it from the media.

[gmercer1]

Thought we played well for the majority and went down to a superb finish. Real have resorted to dirty tricks and we need to stay calm and just play our game, that way it will wind them up even more, probably leading to more cards.

This is like playing a very expensive Stoke side, using two low blocs, taking the pressure and then releasing to their speedy forwards.

Grealish needs to come out with a clear head and start playing how we know he can, with Kev and Erl pulling the defence out of its shape to allow the likes of Gundogan and Bernie to slide into the space.

Doing well, Come on City!

Agree. Better team by far but they got the goal. Feel an early goal coming for us

[Nick]

I'm fuming with haaland, kev and bern to a degree

Haaland, I expected to get physical with rudiger. He's playing as absent as when we beat dortmund.

[Beefymcfc]

Interesting that the pundits stated that it would be poor Real that would be affected by the dry heat, not the team that plays through rain and snow for the majority of the year.

Fucking hate BT.

[Kippax Sean]

These cunts as we all know are clinical. We are playing well but they need one more chance and can score. Haaland was poor that half needs to be miles better second half. They'll keep assaulting us if the refs continues with his shite.

Agree with every word of that. A brilliant goal separating us. Keep our heads and attack with a bit more purpose. Come on boys, get Foden on for Grealish at 60 !!

The assault on Gündoğan was a straight red, awful ref. Jack nearly ends up in Madrid town centre after that barge on him, Rudiger a complete thug. Come on City more direct play

Would be nice, let’s see what Pep can do with them at half time.

[PeterParker]

Let’s half a decent half and be in a good position for next week.

100% This Beefy Kev and Erl need to draw the defenders and make space for Gundo, Silva and Rodders.

My thoughts on Foden as well. If Jack doesn’t get his head right, let Foden have a pop.

[blues2win]

COME ON CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PeterParker]

Our corners will be the death of me

[gmercer1]

Yet another shit corner

[gmercer1]

Yet another shit corner

We have the tallest team we have had in years yet can’t win a header from a corner. Bonkers

3 key players. If they don't turn up, well.

[Mase]

Come on blues. CTWD

[blues2win]

Wasted short corner.

[s1ty m]

In all sorts of trouble here.
