I swear the refs are never this alert to Spanish feckery whenever we play them.
Champions League Semi Finals (26th Apr - 4th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Casemiro of all people
Benzema has a lot to do to prove he’s on Harry Kane’s level now.
Come on!
Really ? ?
They wanted to make City players feel like home
Do you want Liverpool winning leagues year in year out? Because that's how you get Liverpool winning leagues year in year out...
The constant moaning 
Well, that was rather shit of first half after last week's contest.
Well, he still failed to give Casemiro a single yellow from two bad challenges.
Ten Bags mate?
That side was more vulnerable to transitions
We aren't winning the league in the foreseeable future regardless of who's managing City or Liverpool.
Kdb was looking tired.
City should possibly have two red cards in that half, ridiculous reffing
It’s also far, faaaaarrr more unlikely.
I’m also pretty sure Liverpool don’t feel that their recent title win was diminished by them having to wait until fergie retired to win the league again.
If City sit back for another 45 they'll go through easily. This Madrid team has nothing in attack. I think Pep's figured it out to and so they always have most of their men back.
It's why I really wanted Chelsea to go through, this Madrid team aside from like 3 players is really poor.
Playing Valverde when you need a goal..

It's the redness of his face, isn't it? That's the give away with him.
Something about the roof being built, not sure about how it affects that part of the stadium though.
Yeah, someone made a joke about him having a built in stamina bar or something similar.
Aside from that , looked bit frustrated to me.
Yeah but it was more fun
City escaped at least one red card. And VAR doesn't get involved at all...
City are a great team, in defence and attack, very quick on the ball and playing as a unit, but what surprises me the most is how quick they are without the ball. They never seem to tire of pressing and they pull themselves together very easily, and our physical trainer is one of the best, at the height of the season and with everything we have problems with every ball in dispute.
Walker is controlling Vini very well. For the second half Casemiro out before the red card and Rodrygo in, and maybe Ceballos? Asensio to shoot from distance? Camavinga+Rodrygo instead Kroos+Case?

True, but this fella's letting a bit to much go I think.
Or it gives other teams a chance to compete… I think Liverpool will be easier to compete with then city… city have unlimited money with guardiola.
A part of me is still expecting Madrid to win somehow, get a deflection or a lucky ball bounce.
Yeah I don't know why ancelloti is insisting with kroos.
Cmon Real show the ba.ld fra.ud his place
Edit: very funny the autocorrect, he’s a hairless charlatan whatever way you look at it

How come Laporte wasn't sent off? He hit Modric in the face. Seemingly intentionally. Even the attempt to do so is a red card as far as I know. Sounds absolutely scandalous that VAR didn't step in.
It was a blunder by the keeper to get them back in the game. I don't know what's worse City or the scum winning it, I'm going for the latter
Yeah City are bit cagey. They're happy with the draw, I suppose.
Feel like Vini needs to keep isolating Walker, he’s a great defender but he gets his blinkers on about loving the one on one duels/foot races and I reckon there’s a pen in there. Kind of feels there’s a card coming for either side as well which will open things up.
Indeed
Vinicius needs to swap wings 2nd halve… having no luck against Walker.
You genuinely don’t think they’d have enjoyed it far more had they done it whilst Fergie was still manager here? Especially with his perch comments.
They also did win it in competition with Pep’s City, so still fairly impressive. Annoyingly.
It's weird. There's been a few incidents like that lately and VAR aren't looking at them.
@GifLord can you post the Laporte incident. I tuned in late and didn’t see this.
Listen Nev, don't even think posting that stupi childish photo with wine one Real scores... Get it? Got it? Good!
