In an age that Pep has literally lost his hair thinking up no-risk tactical plans, it is nice that the best team in the world is successful by playing their most talented XI and relying on the power of friendship. Big up, Don Carlo.
Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
They were creating chances as well and looking dangerous on the counter. They’d literally just had 2 good chances with 2 overloads
crazy to shut up that early. But also taking Kane off in the likely event (at the time) that they would need another goal
poor management
He can ignore it and wait till the end of play. Like they do often.
You make your own luck. The culture and mentality down there is something else.
Tuchel had the right tactical setup but messed up the subs. And Neuer’s mistake cost them dearly.

Comparing Madrid to United
A crime has been committed.Comparing Madrid to United
Hard luck mate but you were second best all night and that was never a red. I understand the frustration and it was poor from the officials but once he'd blown the whistle the real players and goalie stopped playing so we'll never know if he'd actually have scored.
Shit way to go out it has to be said.
man. the most unlikely scorer for real madrid. Joselu scored not once but twice and the irony he was born in Germany.
Lack of quality from both teams and they should let the Bayern play go at the end as well.
Probably the worst bayern side in recent history and real madrid don't look great either. The overall standard in Europe seems to have gone down a lot from 5 or 10 years ago.

Yes.
ValenciaIn the Leipzig game?
Though in our case the defenders didn't stop playing either
The Leipzig call was perfectly fine, they did their job
Why not? Both clubs are giants in world of football. Yes, Real has more trophies than United but they are both in same tier. And our goal is to be at the top, no?Comparing Madrid to United
I agree, a yellow would have sufficed
What happened to Neuer, lost of concentration, hand slipped ? He was keeping Bayern alive till that big howler.
That's irrelevant to the bigger point - we're making excuses why our misfortunes mean we should accept performing like a relegation standard club.
They're in another CL final despite their own issues.
In fact, it's even harder for them considering the margins between winning and losing the ultimate prizes is so small. Having a positive GD doesn't take anywhere close a complete squad.
It was checked because flag went up 5 seconds after the ball went in the net with this one the linesman flagged and the referee blew ther whistle then it went in the net madrid players had already stopped
99 times out of 100, he catches that no problem
Looks like he misjudged the bounce ball hit his chest first then his hands and got away from him.
I'm increasingly wondering if Perez sold his soul to the devil when he got appointed and an innocent child dies every time Real wins something.
Doesn't matter, the goal would not have stood. Also looked off and I wanted Bayern in the final
Congrats to the local Real supporters. Madrid deserved to win but the circumstances make this really tough.
Ok well if you're going to keep changing your point just to have a rant about United being shit then go off but you're not making a huge amount of sense to me.
By no means an undeserved win, Real were the more active and more mature team. Still I feel Bayern might have sneaked away laughing if not for some individual blinders.
Thanks for the game, it was really close games, as it usually is.
For what it is worth, it probably was offside, judging by the pictures, though the linesmen should obviously let the play move on.
In Manchester, you lose 7-0 and it's fine, you get another year to try.

It's not de Ligt but Pavlov
Kane? Wasn't even on the pitch anymore. It's de Ligt he wasn't the one challenging Rüdiger.
Rüdiger headed to de Ligt who got a few shot from the penalty point.
I haven't heard any whistle and I doubt the keeper would have held the shot anyway.
Madrid was better the second leg but in the first leg Bayern was better.
We have been cheated worse in Madrid and in the end this one is on Neuer. Bad mistake and of course Madrid very lucky that the ball fell directly to the feet of joselu.
Nacho should have had a red card that's a clear assault without the ball nearby.
Real Madrid is Paranormal
I bet my life Neuer wouldn’t have made the mistake against any other club

Real were clearly the better team today, so they deserved to win, but it is of course so, so bitter because of that situation at the end...
Anyways, congrats to the Real fans on here

Yeah shit happens sometimes. He'd played a blinder up until then. If the outfield players had done more it wouldn't have come down to that.
Yeah. I don't mind all that. Not your cup of tea though, obviously. Fair enough.
That was a rookie mistake by the ref crew but that is not what i meant with it being a tough loss.
It’s tough because Bayern was literally 5 minutes away from winning the CL (no offense, Dortmund) and then your best player makes a blunder. The second goal was inevitable since Bayern wouldn’t have survived extra time anyways. They were beyond done.
Thank you! As I said to Giorno, reminded me of 2012. I thought it was a very intelligent match.
At the end I was too nervous to evaluate your tactical mistakes or changes. I loved the tie. Now I hope not to see you in a few years, until the final of S.L 2030.
Thanks for the game.
What you think about Tuchel in general? Seems to be a good tactician, but not a good fit for the team overall, maybe?
Neuer was also being inmense under the goal but it only took a tiny mistake to change it all.Yep. It was insane. Hero goal keeper and a worldie by the last guy you'd expect off his wrong foot?!?!?! That's OUR playbook ffs. It honestly looked like it was destined for that
But no. Our plot armor cannot be denied
Funny how last summer it was all doom and gloom because Flo refused to spend big on Kane and "we couldn't go into the seasom with Joselu as our only #9"
Well now
We still need another striker to rotate Joselu and keep him fresh for next season's UCL.
Bayern keepers tend to do that vs Real.
We are so far off Madrid , we should be compared to Villarreal and Getafe who are also struggling for European football .
No, Real is in its own tier.
