Well, looking like we have nothing on City now, not even Europe and a Treble would cement them in history forever.

Corruption wins. 

As I wrote after last Tuesday Real blew their chance at home, they are only on for a bad defeat now.

Imagine had we somehow gotten past them against a City side so motivated as this. Would have been a cricket score.

28 minutes played

2 passes in opposition half from Madrid 

man city: 146

That Inter final will be a cricket score 😅 like lambs to slaughter. 

Real are offering nothing. 

I miss the Jorginho thread so much. Those long debates with the misguided few who repeatedly said J5 was a better DM than Rodri.

Crazy

Hmm I don't think so. Inter have the most clean sheets and the best keeper in the competition this season.

City will still beat them, but not by a cricket score imo.

it’s over

My vomit-inducing support of Madrid is totally wasted on them.

Rudi not playing is mind blowing

City's one of the best teams i've seen in my life. Have to respect it.

imagine doing all this do be beaten by Lukaku's Inter 

That's that. Can't pretend City don't deserve it. They've got a stranglehold on this game.

Yes, I can 

let's be fair

Madrid was due some humbling experience

8 different City players have had a shot on goal so far ... 

i don't think i've seen a better team than City

the way Rodri and Stones play is brilliant

which was inspired somewhat by De Zerbi's Brighton tactics

Another UCL for City after this and that’s our only claim to fame gone, although you could argue a ‘Treble’ pretty much trumps the lot. 

Depressing stuff. Corruption always wins out, and to think how strictly Roman used to take FFP, following it to the letter. No fake sponsors either.

Grealish also amazes me

how much he has improved off the ball is insane

Real missed the opportunity in the first leg. No chance they win this.

It's a possibility if Inter start with eleven players in goal.

And at the end the government took Chelsea from him while leaving the petro states to keep illegally financing their teams.

This. They think they can get away with shipping goals but this time I don't think they have it in them to get back into it.

They were fortunate to make the final last year as they were the second best team when they played us and City.
