Champions League Quarter Finals | Chelsea vs Real (Tue) | Bayern vs City (Wed)

WTF? We must have watched different games. My takeaway from it was that Spurs were utterly dire, rather than Milan battering them or being particularly impressive.
If they didn't forget how to finish they win both games 3-0
 
I think a lot of you are being harsh on Madrid, they've been great tonight.
I think they’ve been good. Just overworking it in the final 3rd.

They’ve barely got out of 2nd gear the whole game and nor have they had to. It’s been easy. But because they haven’t played the flashiest, quickest most intricate stuff, they’re deemed to have played poorly.

They’ve got the job done with ease. That’s playing well in my eyes.

They’ve been better than Chelsea but Chelsea are barely even a football team. But over the season they haven’t been great and I’d give us a good shout at beating them over two legs.
 
Surely you thought the same about Barcelona when we drew them in the EL? Madrid have been crap today.

No, they're completely different teams in Europe. Barcelona have been the opposite in recent years, flaky and poor in pressure situations, which is why they haven't won any European trophies since 2015. In that time Real Madrid have won 4 Champions Leagues.

Real Madrid are on the verge of winning 20 of their last 23 Champions League knockout ties, whereas we haven't been in the CL semi-finals since 2011.

Lampard the only gaffer without a new manager bounce

Probably because he's not a new manager for them.

I agree.
 
Maybe not at the very moment but at our best we are better than them I think. If we can get some sort of consistency going then I think we are better than them.
Maybe if we somehow convinced them we’re actually getafe in disguise. In the champions league they’re a different animal
 
This has honestly felt a bit like a training session, no disrespect.
 
Kova looks terrible today. Just poor performances all over the pitch
 
That Casemiro red card looks more and more stupid every match I watch. Happens all the time and not even a yellow or review

'Great' is overstating it but 2-0 is about right overall. It's a routine win, if that makes sense for a CL quarter-final.
 
Mind, the point with Madrid is they always had/have another ace under their hand, which they use when in need.
 
Jeez that ref in the Milan-Napoli game is awfully biased towards Milan.
 
That announcer in Madrid sounds like he should be presenting a children’s show.
 
Not terrible yes. Just not impressive.
I'm impressed because they've played some great football and it's been very professional first leg display. If we do similar tomorrow I'll be impressed with us
