Unbelievable!
If away goals still counted city would have been out on it.
Sterling and Grealish hopelessly over-rated by English media, nothing players at this level.
An incredible run of games for Real Madrid.
There's quality, and then there's pedigree.
I do think Man City were hard done by
Ref ****ed them over there. 3 mins injury time should have been at least 6.
In U.S. the game was on one of the mainstream channels (rather than a dedicated sports channel) and I'd recorded it with an extra 30 minutes added on should it go to extra time / pens. Of course the recording ended with about 6 minutes of extra time still to play.
Having said that, once Madrid were in front the result was never going to change as City by then had completely 'lost it'.
two things struck me: Man City are world-beaters when they're on song and things going their way; but there's a fragility there that surfaces every now and again. Also, no-one seems to have said much about the penalty but it looked clear to me that the defender got to the ball first and didn't really take the man out. I've only seen it the once so I may be wrong, but with the score as it was and the game so important, I thought it was harsh if not wrong. Anyone see it differently?
Reflecting on the game last night. As good a manager and team Pep and Man City are, for some reason, they seem to play with a British mentality, of being naïve
Once Madrid got in front, they played all the old tricks in the game to break up play and scupper City’s momentum. City should have been doing the same after 80 mins of normal time.
I reckon they will blow the league now too, that must have destroyed them last night, no shots on target in 90 mins and two goals in stoppage time.
