Maybe that revolting kit is hampering Madrid. Do I not like orange.

Can't tempt you with some of this clobber then ?

How do you feel about tangerine and graphite?

Real have carved City opened quite a few times. Just can’t finish.

Ruud could wear what he liked. And orange was his colour after all.

It says in the marketing blurb on that page

Quote

The transfer windows are shut so it is total focus on the football for the remaining months of the season

Marketing could do with telling the players that!

Mbappé's run was that good that even his comedy finish managed to go in.

Matter of time until Real score a second.

They really should have already. Their finishing is letting them down and even their goal was kind of fortuitous. Maybe they’re happy they can finish the job in Spain, but I can still see City wining this tough.

Everyone’s home support/atmosphere is sh*t these days, but City’s is especially poor. Even when they do bother to sing, it’s a dull dirge like Blue Moon or that ‘best team in the land….’ thing. The Queen’s funeral was more upbeat.

And Haaland is a right twat isn’t he? Not a good one like Costa, just a proper nonce.

Still don’t think city have played that well. Real should be well out of sight, they just can’t finish. 

And he’s scored his 49th CL goal in 49 games. Oh for a striker even half that good.

2-2

Really can't see foresee any scenario in which Tchouameni is going to want to leave Real Madrid to come to us as part of a Fernandez swap LOL. 

I thought I was watching Robert Sanchez for a minute.

Real’s front 3 look quick and decisive. Nothing like our front 3

I called it - City have been poor. 

Who could possibly have seen that coming

Flawless touch from Vinicius to dink the ball over Ederson. What a player.

I enjoyed that. Both teams were so much better than we are, but they both clearly have their own troubles. City were second best, but they really ought to have nicked that 2-1. The last two goals were ridiculous in defensive terms. Was that Kovacic who played that ridiculous outside back heeled flick thing?

Full game in the Champions League for Veiga with Juventus this evening, and also a few minutes off the bench for Carney with Dortmund as well.

Neither good enough for us though LOL

But Maresca studied under Pep, so you can’t argue with that.

Oh, wait a minute….

Wow, unbelievable performance by Exeter

10 men for 35 mins and now in a penalty shootout 

lost on pens 

might have helped if their keeper wasnt 5feet 10

The panic from City when they go ahead is crazy, especially from the defenders and Ederson. We make mistakes, but it's really only Sanchez that will panic, the others are just careless or stupid.

I see City losing 3-0 or 3-1 in the second leg. I would prefer them to go through and keep them focused on that, but it looks like their schedule is about to get a little less busy.

Just saw that last goal from Madrid, why was Lewis at right back, who then tries ball control before losing it to Vincious Junior who then nicks it setting up Bellingham.

Walker would have cleared it, looks like another dud master plan back firing from Pep.

On Liverpool going out to Plymouth looked to me like they played the B team, they now have 4 games in 13 days.

Smart free kick from Everton and a great finish
