Kroos and Modric got shown up tonight by this City midfield
Champions League Round of 16 (18th Feb - 8th Aug)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Only very slightly, don’t see much more than else.
They do have 3 Brazilian youngsters in Vinicius, Reinier and Rodrygo. Will be interesting to see how they develop.
Fairly evident that those who think we've suddenly got a defence comparable to Madrid have only watched them once or twice this season.
Our own defensive record isn't even impressive within our own last 5 years. It's better than last years horror show but that's not saying much.

Dodgy pen for Juve coming up.
Soft? No way should that have been given. And people moan about VAR in this country
One of us is having a major moment here. WTF?
Madrid spent over 300 million in the summer and they look half a squad away from being a top side. Spain's top teams are horrific in the transfer market these days.
Doesn't look like Juve will get that goal
Lyon fighting like beavers out there.
Jinxed it
Hope Lyon go through but Juventus will get the job done I'm sure.
Certainly since the Burnley match. If they can keep that form up, we'd be back to the kind of goals against stats we had a decade ago.
That's Juve done then, no Pjanic or Dybala equals no creativity. Can't see anyone else being a creative outlet, only hope now is another Ronaldo special.
Madrid aren't 2-1 up though
How has Dybala been post restart?
He was testing positive for over a month.. any indications that his fitness has been affected? or totally unrelated ?

Long may it continue.
We should try our luck. If we put enough makeup on Rojo, they might have him.
Can’t Juve find a better keep than Scenzy?
Sarri will be gone surely.
Yes, because he's English and his names Harry.
Had Maguire or Lindelof made those mistakes they’d have been slaughtered for it, rightly so. Varane isn’t exactly getting off lightly. Mistakes happen, every fanbase is the same with moaning and groaning
Sutton is not content with just calling us YOO-nited. He's now saying YOO-ventus.
9th booking for Lyon haha
Game over.
They are dog shit. The man did all he could and they still lost.

Then get walloped 4-0 to City next round after these heroics.
Yes I think you’re right there but the Madrid and Barca teams we had to face are on a different level to their current teams.
I fecking hope so. Don't want City playing Lyon.
He should rename himself Harrio Maguirinho. Or Maguirene.
What’s the obsession with comparing all the time?, I just don’t get it , Maguire plays for us, Varane doesn’t and never will, pointless
At Chelsea, Hazard would have made the difference in a game like this one. Is it too soon to claim he is as bad for Madrid as Sanchez was for us ?
They've still got Buffon knocking about somewhere. I can only think the plan is to wait for some kind of time machine to be invented to stick him in.
Reine-Adelaide has turned into an aboslute monster from his Arsenal days.
Don’t think Juve will trouble them at this rate.
No, I don't either. But I think the experience they have is the only chance really.
Looks like Bayern are the only real hope to stop City winning this.
Madrid were totally dominated tonight, especially their midfield. Top class performance from City.
Rabiot cannot pass.
Koulibaly and a healthy Laporte pretty much guarantees the league title for city next season.
