I missed the pen shout but saka still limping
Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
Thought it was a very cowardly 2nd half from you desptie a couple of decent counters. CB's were way too deep and we had freedom to shoot from the edge of the box at least 6 or 7 times.
Felt like Pep got 1st half all wrong and Carlo out did him in the second.
He wouldn't have been able to cope with the pace I think, the slowed game in the latter half of the second half was ideal. Was rolling back the years with his pinged passes, what a guy
What? No. No. No no no no no.
Absolutely, he just crashed into Neuer. That happens when you run at speed. Neuer stopped his movement when the ball went past him at Saka didn't have the control over his body to get past him as well. Just something what happens, seems to be absolutely right to just let the game go on.
Christ even AFTV saying no penalty. Was a good call from the ref, through he didn’t get much wrong throughout the game tbf
What's Saka going on about
no way would the pundits be saying it's a penalty if that was Bruno
Its far from over. If Walker is not fit we'll be wide open for the counter 2nd leg and we'll have to play higher being at home.
I never thought we would draw but i think its even deserved.
What do non Bayern fans think?

Entertaining match, two teams at the same level. It became clear Arsenal is no Heidenheim
Liverpool will be happy. Both Arsenal and City have to fight hard again next week with strong squads.
The Real team reminds me of our old teams...pace on the wings ..midfielder that can play and ping crosses and a never say die attitude..
Guess that is what Real Madrid is all about

I thought he was fantastic. Kept a lid on cheek from players and had an air of Colina about him.
For being 35 and his 6th CL game, I was impressed. I like the cut of his jib, hope he keeps it up.
I didn’t watch it but going of the stats it looked like Arsenal was the better team and you was poor in the first half. Don’t think either yous or Arsenal will beat Madrid or city.
Kicks Neuer in the leg and wants a penalty for it. Ridiculous. He wasn't even trying to stay on his feet and get the ball into the net normally, he wanted that penalty. Good call from the ref not to fall for that nonsense.
Arsenal definitely need a proper big game striker like Kleindienst, at the moment he looks to be the difference between Heidenheim and Arsenal.
On the balance of play, Arsenal looked the better team but not by much and Bayern had the better chances.
He was yea, wasn't as bad I I feared.
i'm sure Ashley Young did something similar when he was a United player and he got booked for it
City better coached, better drilled team. Real relying mostly on players having a great game.
Rodri brilliant with the ball as usual. Gvardiol was solid. Camavinga and Valverde are absolute workhorses. Modric: class is eternal. Ancelotti out of his depth tactically.
City should go through. They're just the better team.

Pundits here are saying Saka dived.
The amount of diving in football right now is just mind blowing, if the authorities don’t become serious about it then it’s going to ruin the game completely
Given the circumstances, I'm pleasantly surprised. A very shaken Bayern vs the currently most on form team of the PL, a few key players not at top form or fitness, no fan support, early weak yellow for Davies who was playing against the most dangerous man, concede the early goal, etc.. after the 1-1 I was like ok so we only lose 1-5
With the ball Arsenal was clearly better but i thought we had the better chances in the 2nd half.
Really happy with how we played and really, really happy with the result of course.
Madrid and United have always had a similar way of playing football. It's why I have a soft spot for them, none of this keep the ball and pass it around just for the sake of it none sense.
Just pure rock n roll football, straight for the throat. The BBC team was as close you can get to our Ronaldo Tevez Rooney team in terms of style of play.
Still can't see them go through.
He could start for City with the way they play
but not for Real. Ancelotti is having his midfielders run too much, and it's not a compliment.
A bit sick how Madrid-city ended 3-3 with all the "big chances" missed and both teams with less than 1,0 goals in xG
it's called Karma
Absolutely ecstatic. Now just for extra time in both games next time. Chefs kiss.
German shins are much more durable than English ones. I see no problem hereCracks me up. How many blatantly obvious free-kicks did the ref just ignore? Every time an Arsenal player tumbled it was an immediate blow; meanwhile, Bayern getting cut down and ref motioning play-on every time.
The real CL QF winners.
We could have been that team if we believed in Ole
the thing that Saka "Penalty" will be viewed as "well, he's initiated the contact [nervous laughter]. it's clever play etc"
refs need to stand up to it, plus managers and pundits need to stop indulging it and cherrypicking when diving is "cheating" and then it's "clever play".
Rudiger, Valverde, Camavinga and Kroos had a good game. Bellingham was bad. He didn't know how to do what Carletto asked him to do, City controlled him well or he just had a shit game. However the fact that he is such a competitive guy gives me some peace of mind.
I thought physically we were going to be far superior.
We can win there playing like we did in the first half but with 10 players into the box there is nothing to do.

Alternate Angle shows Neuer coming towards Saka much clearer. He's definitely not standing still.

Hah! With your plot armor, they'll both progress and then play ET in the semi too.
Okay. The floor is yours, Thierry.
It’s widespread though, Saka gets away with it a lot but so many players are constantly looking for contact now. We are going to get a stage where players will get so good at this that penalty rule might need changing
