Remember when everyone said away goals would stop away teams from attacking? Have not seen that in this season’s CL at all.

Reminded me of Bellamy’s goal against us in the 4-3. Left Rio for dead and slotted it under foster.

Madrid's players have such pride for themselves, if not the shirt. They simply will not give up.

Madrid are the anti-UTD. They fight back no matter what. UTD on the other hand would have capitulated after the 1st goal. It would have been 5 - 0 by now

Liverpool will absolutely run through either of these in a big final, easy money.

Real is really something else in the CL.
Everyone knows these games where your team don't play super well but also misses the few big chances they get. Unlucky.
Madrid always scores out of nowhere in these kind of games.

Dare I say we actually had a semblance of that under Ole. All about team spirit and confidence, of which we have none. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I've just realized that watching United exclusively for years made me think football has become dull and boring. This looks quite entertaining!

Why Real Madrid aren't a good team you can't question their pride. Always have a chance when games are played on such stage even when they get dominated.

Anyone else feel like big games are more attacking nowadays?

10 years ago or so, these kinds of games were often ultra defensive weren't they.
To some extent, yes.

Unless of course Simone is involved. He kills all big games.
