I think you guys in a neutral venue will be a different kettle of fish if I'm honest. Theres also the big revenge for Kiev thing.
Champions League Semi Finals (26th Apr - 4th May)

They can also rest players as they like as they have already won the league.
After the obscene luck you lot have had in the draws (yet again), it's only fair that you have to face a challenge somewhere along the way. Can't play every final against Tottenham.
Thanks. That’s what I was thinking. Suits you down to the ground but could be better.
Seeing city win their 1st CL instead of Liverpool winning their 7th is preferable for me. feck it.
Absolutely
Clearly
Ugh what a dream that'd be.
Nah, pains me to say it but the CL really is their tournament, almost like there’s a magnetic force that pull them to that trophy.
I agree. Another very good night for Liverpool imo. Are city getting 9 points in 7 days from Sunday after that disappointment?, I think not. Is De Bruyne injured too?, Walker's certainly fecked.
Of course it's possible Liverpool drop points too but the wind definitely seems more at their back at the moment. If they win the quad it can never be beaten. Nightmare scenario.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Good of City to fly their entire fanbase out to Madrid... only to see them capitulate like that.
With two of those away games to Wolves and West Ham. Yep, City may be in real trouble next week.
Whatever City do in CL, its back to business as usual in the league, where they go on winning-runs when they need to.
They usually do but this is a more brutal loss than any, some doubts about how fit KDB and Dias look and the fact that they have not been super convincing in the League means it'll be difficult. Wolves and West Ham away back-to-back is not the kind of games you probably want to play over 3 days.
The way they lost is what could deflate them. They were the better team over two legs, they were through after 89 minutes and winning, they were through after 92 minutes and drawing 1-1.. but they lost it the first leg by only having a 1 goal advantage.

Pep is usually in the technical area barking instructions and geeing up his side. Why in a such important stage was he sitting in his seat?
Again and again, the only winners with City CL-edition are the bookies. Wait… they will start muggin billion punters just another time, right? As soon as Haaland is announced in June. Stiff upper lip and carry on.
Cracking game and all that but was it really a penalty? im looking at it and he genuinely kicked the ball first.
To be fair to them their path to the final has been mental - the they had to fight off the oil clubs PSG, Chelsea and City. Contrast that to Liverpool who've had an average Inter side, Benfica and Villarreal
Real are the horror movie monster that just won't f****ing die.
It was. Even 40 years ago that was a pen.
He hits the ball first i think, isn't that the rule?
Not complaining anyway.
Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers?
I fecking hate Madrid, but their team is a prime example of the winning mentality. I knew they were going to win this tie even when they went a goal down today. Complete opposite of our overpaid social media warriors. We have one 37-year-old guy with that winning mentality and then there is everybody else.
I disagree.
Excuse my brain, I meant 2 upHow?
I meant up 2!Did you turn it off in the first leg you mean?! Cos no one was 2-0 up in this game
Dang you’re so smart. You should go put money on the match because you just know everything and can see into the future.
Clearly Madrid, who just won La Liga and beat the team ahead of Liverpool, is going to get decimated. Stop embarrassing yourself with childish name-calling
Oh yeah I’m desperate.
These are basically my exact thoughts.
Indeed
All this revenge stuff is pre match hype that the media dramatise. I don’t think it really makes a difference when the whistle goes. In fact that’s probably the last thing on the players minds during the match.
I can’t see players thinking I’m going to give it another extra 10% because they beat us a few years ago!
Rodrygo changed the game hence no one praised him here
Still cannot believe Real made it through considering they were probably the worst team in each of their three KO rounds, over the course of the tie.
I think we'll win the CL again before City win their first. Manifesting it.
I really dislike Real Madrid but its better that they win than $hitty or Liverpool
Can't believe so many people are quite open to Man City buying the Champions League. I don't want them ever to win in, and certainly not with Guardiola. I mean, in our lifetimes Chelsea and City are actual threats to catch us up or overtake us in terms of Champions Leagues, simply because billionaires bought them. I don't want to see that, ever, so yesterday was fantastic for me.
Real have saved us Chelsea levelling up with us this year and City winning their first. They have one more task. We can't do anything about what happens on the pitch, so might as well enjoy nights like last night when one of our rivals suffer.
