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

[carolina-blue]

Pep back to his shit use of subs again .

Ancelotti showing him how you do it .
He should take note .

I will take that tbh 1-1
You could clearly see Madrids subs with fresh legs made a huge difference

Haaland been bullied tonight

Rudiger was allowed to drag and foul him all game. Pep will learn from his one-on-one stint and adapt our system for the home game.

Nothing more to say but need to make it a cauldron at our place, really rip the cunts apart, from the stands and on the pitch.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Result not bad, but what the fuck is Pep playing at, his non use of subs is getting to be a serious issue, players on yellows, players exhausted, but no subs, unbelievable.

[dick dastardley]

Great result we need the Etihad rocking next week

[Kippax Sean]

Very heavy legs the last 10 mins and understable with the amount of games we've played. We put in a great shift late on.

[ruralblue]

Genuine question? Is it same ref for second leg?

Fucking better not bastard be

Was just wondering that

I don’t think so

Come on the pair of you, I'm thick as fuck and even I know it isn't.

Only caught the last half hour just as Kevin scored god bless him. Bernardo looked off it, constantly caught out. We're better than these cunts by a country mile but every single one of Madrid's players has a match winning moment inside them so I'm more than happy to take the draw. Didn't look like we used too much energy which is good for the weekend. Didn't lose, so no mood changer as we go back into league mood. Lads we should be happy with that result tonight.

Think foden should play in the second leg. He will relish running at this lot.

saving them for Saturday?

Gundog played concussed, Haaland was shite tonight. Superb when he's on it but he's on or off. Seemed bossed by Rudiger who once again went unpunished for what i thought was a strong shoulder into Gundog's jaw.

[ruralblue]

Happily take a 1 - 1 draw back to Maine Road!.

Poor use if subs, what subs? Fucking mint goal and no one was stopping theirs.

Bring it on!

[Beefymcfc]

Yep, and I’m sure we will.

Brilliant to see the stadium so quiet when the pundits told us it would be a hotbed of activity. I’m sure I heard City fans all game.

[Outcast]

Although a great manager, Pep is a bit of a pussay when it comes to this cup. Yes the referee is shocking, but, I feel is Pep is little too safe, maybe just desperate to win it, scared to make daring decisions. He needs to go for it, make early subs, change something. Second leg go for the throat, show them no respect.

Could have been worst

[Mase]

Good result. To come to Madrid and play against 12 men that is a very good result for us.

You know JC, that thought crossed my mind, I wonder if Pep is saving a nucleus of a team for CL and one for PL? Could be you know.

[aaron bond]

Overall I’m happy with that.

First half we were great and didn’t deserve to be 1-0 down. Second half we didn’t play well yet equalised.

We looked tired as the game went on and struggled to string some good passes together.

But we soaked up the pressure well and Ederson made some great saves.

[CTID Hants]

Apparently there is another game tomorrow night in meeeeeeelan according to BT fella

[PeterParker]

Social media full of memes and laughs about Haaland being absent tonight.
Hope he reads them.
I recall everyone taking the piss after the Community Shield miss.

[Mase]

Can we get Tiatto back to fuckin snap Rüdiger in two? Would pay good money to see that guys career ended.

[sheblue]

Would have taken a draw before the game, but can't help feeling we didn't play well.
Kev apart from the goal was quiet, silva and gundo average rodri played like a tired footballer.

[PeterParker]

Big Ed motm for us.
It really is a difference when he has a quality back-up who is there to put pressure on him.
Saved our arse tonight
