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

Haaland needs to start putting himself about. Just jogging around

[Indianablue]

Kicking shit out of us tonight, ref certainly not favouring us. The fix is in

[carl_feedthegoat]

Same as always - big players in our team playing like wankers at this stage of the competition .

Is he playing? Not making the runs for us tonight

[blues2win]

Plenty of time. Even if we finish down 1-0 we’re well capable of turning it round at the Etihad.

[Bournemouthcityfan]

Not sure Harland's poor he’s had no service really

[nottsblue]

Correct

[Original Dub]

That absolute prick kroos should have seen red.

I'll never forget that wanker posting laughing emojis after last years semi.

Classless cunt

[Kippax Sean]

Ref is a fucking joke. 6 yellows should have been shown atleast. Fucking come out fighting harder 2nd half. Foden will have more joy than Grealish against the crying thug.

The way the big un is strolling around and the way we are being reffed I will snap yer hand off for 1-0
Right now

[Mase]

Grealish sticking up for himself after being kicked to fuck and some are moaning? I suppose you were happy with Wanchope putting his arm around Keane after he assaulted Alfie?

We need players sticking up for themselves and showing we won’t just let them boot us to fuck

[dick dastardley]

The ref has had his orders, fuck me there's some skullduggery going on bent officials

[Original Dub]

There's no mention of var at any point.

There was also 7 mins where play was stopped. Uefa do what they want

He should be leading that dirty cunt Rudiger a dogs life. He doesn’t look arsed at all

Correct

Agree with this but they are playing on the counter and can catch us again.

He has 3 and 4 around him all the time.
Madrid parking the bus and playing counter.

Grealish is going sideways and backwards too much. Get on the outside a bit more ffs. He's been ok tonight but predictable.

[johnny crossan]

tbh I'm relieved it's only one,they have had more chances than us - we'd slowed down after 20 minutes - good to know they were "going bananas" in the BT studio when Madrid scored, it's what we expect I suppose?

This is what suprises me. A game like this is a perfect chance for UEFA to show Madrid they aren’t untouchable. All in all Franco’s boys are one of the creators of the superleague.

[Beefymcfc]

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!
