Well there's not much in it. Point is, it was an incredible move.
Champions League Semi Finals (9th - 17th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
They'll lose even with a one goal loss today. Madrid will pick City off for fun in the second leg.
I just really wish our players could play the first time passes quickly into a player. Someone pops the ball in and the receiver instantly makes a pass on the angle to a third player.
I beg, please
I beg, please
The strength of Courtois’ right hand
Want to know how he built up the strength in that hand and arm?
Courtois looks so confident
Rudiger has done well coming in for militao
McMenamin is full of shit
Great tackle Alaba
True. But still: they had one actual attempt on goal in 45 minutes and they scored that.
Madrid are elite technically. The speed they play passes.
Shhhh, don't say that, you will jinx it. So I am unjinxing it.
I'd be fuming if the ref was against us.
Alaba good man
Yes, he scores tonight after some individual error
Lovely watching Haaland frustrated
Just as I was thinking, it's too open for Mondric and Kroos' legs then City create an opening.
Well done kevin, do it until the end of the season.
Rodri is a cnut
What a tackle Alaba
Nah, 1-0 is still doable at home, I think.
Camavinga is so good
Please, no jinxing posts during the match. The gods must not be tempted to cheat what is right and just.
Is City trying to break the record for the biggest amount of shitty corner kicks in a single game? They wasted so many of them.
BT commentary is shocking.
City will over commit and Madrid are absolutely lethal on the counter.
Both teams look like they're playing a different sport compared to us
Camavinga might never play in midfield again.... dudes absolutely brilliant at left back.
What did RM goal keeper just do? Kicks the ball directly to his teammate?! How is that possible?
Only Curtois had the worse passing stats out of 22 players that started that final. He was also Real Madrid's leading player for poor touches and being dispossesed. And my initial point was literally about passing, I said "passing wise" just next to Casemiro's name, but it's not like everyone just turned that into "Get him, he thinks Casemiro is shite!".
Why on earth casemiro wanted to leave Madrid and join our lot 
I mean don't get me wrong I'm glad he did, but one wonders!

Would be difficult to beat our record from the West Ham game.
The positions he's taken defensively has been so good so far
Yeah, sure. But unless I'm wrong, City mentally never had it in them to make a two goals comeback in the CL.
This, plus some of the ball control. It’s unlike anything you see in the Premier League
Man City playing in a league with no competition is hurting them here.
Come on gotta get the second now
City have no idea what to do with Vinicius; he's just cutting inside at will now and nobody picks him up because he's not 'supposed' to be there. Completely nullifying Walker by simply avoiding him.
I’m repeating myself but Courtois looks so good tonight
Madrid got city penned really well here
Benz? Good!
