Especially when it's someone that prides themselves on being a cnut.Calling someone a cnut isn’t shithousery.
Thank god. Its not just me. BT commentators and pundits are so biased its an absolute disgrace. Even the ex Utd ones. They did nothing different in the 2 ties dark art wise but we were just beaten by their experience, City were cheated and Rio just saying they were embarrassing. Someone need to have a word , honestlyAmazing how Atletico were experienced, know-how-win, dark arts masters against us, but disgraceful, embarrassing antic-merchants today, according to the commentators.
Was it all on the basis of extra time? I switched over the Liverpool Benfica towards the end and came back at like 9 minutes of added time
You could see Grealish calling him a cnut after the Foden incident and then Savic pulled his hairWhy do people think that Savic sought out Grealish. Grealish wasn't playing and only had a minor role in the scuffle in stoppage time.
Id say, Grealish said something smart to Savic after the final whistle and Savic made for him.
Your right, I was sure they must have had one and I was misremembering how bad they were.Atletico shot ZERO times in Manchester, ZERO, not 1. Don't give them extra credit haha.
City didn't really have clear chances. Dominated 100% of the time (Atletico let them because... Simeone) but they were toothless, not many chances at all.
Today they were very very bad, and I don't think Pep is happy with the last 45 minutes. Even if they sat behind they conceded a lot.
I don't think Atletico deserved 2 red cards, I think the penalty was fair and square and I cannot understand why VAR didn't even consider it (or I might know... ehem).
City doesn't look so favorite for the CL as I though before this knock out.
Maybe to low level epl teams some guys might be worth getting but it’s an old squad with many has bins.They looked pretty good against a top Liverpool side, obviously Darwin is the main attraction but Portuguese players are commonly cheaper so could see it being picked at.
He called the Savic a cnut. Savic didn't like it. Not that it in anyway excuses Savic, who also headbutted Sterling.I really need one of their players to explain their collective rage at Grealish. Is it the hair, calves, Gucci or all of the above?
Ok boomer.Ok people are going a bit over board with this go watch the 1967 final with herera's inter if you want to hate your life.
The ref was much stronger during today's match than the ref who did the 2nd leg of United v Atletico. That ref blew his whistle for everything and today the ref didn't accept the play acting and allowed it to go both ways unless it was a blatant foul, which there was for both side, but more so Madrid on City.Amazing how Atletico were experienced, know-how-win, dark arts masters against us, but disgraceful, embarrassing antic-merchants today, according to the commentators.

Ok boomer.
Ok boomer.
I thought they were scruffy in that final transition to Felix and the wide men. Either didn't make that last pass or got it wrong. Cost them in both legs because aside from that they had City.Exactly. Atletico are technically very very good.
Yes they're thugs. Yes they're shameless in the way they put all the bodies behind the ball.
But when they're going for goal, they're technically excellent, and the comparisons to Burnley are embarrassing from the Caf.
They had City pinned back that entire second half. That was very impressive.
Thank you, I had forgotten that post that would have killed the knock out. You are right.I mean we hit the post in the first half (the closest either team came in the entire game).
Agree on Simeone he has serious talent and keeps them on reigns. 2nd half proved they could have had a proper go and might have gone through.
My fave moment of the game.Loved seeing foden roll back onto the pitch, I think we played well for the most part, Ake was outstanding when he came on, Shane freakish didn't start, think they would have been down to 10 far earlier
It’s beautiful.Atleti’s shithousing is a work of art.
There is no way Grealish is gonna be victorious unless someone gives him the Fodens fire extinguisherIf Savic and Grealish have had a fight in the tunnel, and Grealish is victorious. Is there any comeback from the shame of that for Slavic, surely it would ruin him forever.
lip reading but it looked like Grealish called him a cnut and then Savic pulled his hair during the schmozzle.Why do people think that Savic sought out Grealish. Grealish wasn't playing and only had a minor role in the scuffle in stoppage time.
Id say, Grealish said something smart to Savic after the final whistle and Savic made for him.
Savic didn't have long at City, so it was probably just about the only insult Grealish could use that might have been understood.Please let this be what he said, so simple, so brilliant, especially while delivered with his shit eating grin
That's a good point yeah, and same to everyone else who responded to my post.They have fantastic footballers, I wouldn't say comparisons to Burnley are fair, but their manager sets them up like cowards. They win though so fair play to them. I'd be very interested to see that team under a more attacking manager for comparison.
Loads of great momentsMy fave moment of the game.

Agreed but still City didn’t create anything in that second half. Atleti battered them.Shithouse tactics and an AWOL ref for the most part though
God I would dearly love to see that scenario!Don’t think Cantona, Hughes and Keane are finishing that one.
Is that someone spitting at the man city staff / players?Tweet

Yeah I mean its hard to knock what they do vs the opposition they compete against and win but its tough.That's a good point yeah, and same to everyone else who responded to my post.
I wish they played more attacking obviously. They look excellent going forward.
But on the other hand, they conceded only once against United and only once against City, over a total of 4 ties. That's trademark Simeone, focusing on defence first. Difficult to watch, almost impossible to support, but fair play to them, they gave it a real go at the end there.
And of course big congrats to City, that was very professional. That was a very difficult hurdle to clear. Not just football-wise but all the drama as well.
He did spit didn't he ?Vrsaljko is a cnut of the highest order
