It’s a little consoling to know that in this horrible season where seemingly everything went wrong and conspired against us the footballing gods couldn’t bring themselves to come up with the final of our nightmares.
Champions League Semi Finals (26th Apr - 4th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You have to laugh at City. Remember 96? They were drawing with Liverpool and thanks to some Bertie in the stand with a dodgey radio they thought a draw would keep them up. They started time wasting.
Niall Quinn , who wasn’t even togged, realised they needed a win. He went down to the touch line to get the word out.
Too late! They drew and went down.
We did the double.
Well last night was worse!

Has there been a harder road to the final than what Real had to play? And an easier one than what Pool had to play?
You can be the sole Liverpool fan that doesn't get binned (no bin dipper pun intended).
Like when companies keep one of various minorities to show they're PC.
Time for him to go against his huge youth development morals and finally get the cheque book out.
False news. This is a pic of a home game at the Etihad.
Still too disgusted to write or read more about it. Fecking City bottlers

Looking at the final part of the game before extra time again, I cannot understand some of the decisions City players take.
87' - Cancelo crosses the ball unneccesarily when he should keep possession. Courtois catches the ball easily.
90' - Ederson loses possession by making a long pass which Courtois gets again. Why gifting the ball so quickly after having conceded?
90' - Horrible pass from Cancelo, again gifting the ball too quickly.
Making sure that the rival minimize their chances and that the game is not played in the last minutes is also part of football, not just playing triangles progressing on the pitch little by little. City players are experienced enough in latter stages of CL, I don't know what they were thinking about.
The commentary in these games is always fecking nauseating when there's an English team involved, but on the flip side, it's absolutely glorious when things go wrong. As was the case last night. The whinging and whining you get from them is music to the ears. Everything is always against them, the other team is full of cheats, the ref is bent, etc.
It makes it all the sweeter.

There is a moment that speaks volumes: Real Madrid was down 0-1, there is a corner for City and Casemiro and Benzema were joking to each other and smiling.
He really is the worst. He was full of shite the night before when Villareal were playing. So much disrespect.
That only works if you also have Pep with you in your manifesting sessions
So glad they are out. Otherwise we would have never heard the end of “The two best teams ever with the two best managers ever facing each other in the biggest game ever in the history of football”.
Thank you Madrid!
Thank you Madrid!
Yep, I'm struggling to think the last time any team bantered a couple of goals past Pool to turn around a game. I find it hard to believe Moments FC can trouble them. Pool are more clinical than City, and they're equally capable of taking a big lead or grinding out a game once they're ahead.
.
I enjoy City losing but I tend to agree with this. City and Liverpool is a very even match up and I've always felt that they were Liverpools worst opponent out of the lot.
Madrid are getting turned over in the final. City could have beaten them but that's gone now.
Madrid have looked poor against Chelse, PSG and Citeh but are in the final. I guess its best not to write them off. Having said that, all 3 teams should have beaten Madrid easily.
Yep, if not for the lack of the clinical attitude (which City showed again over both the semi-final ties), they would've beaten Pool a lot more over the last few years.
Sublime post. Simply sublime.
Classy postNot good dude, not good.
Can only laugh, if theres a way to shoot yourself in the foot never seen before, you can bet City are gonna do it. From the time we got relegated vs you guys for not being able to count points to the time we messed up the CL group stage cause Pelligrini couldn't count goal difference, City gonna City.
Better team won purely on mentality alone and we've ran ourselves into the ground ahead of a tough league game.
Have to hand it to Real though mentality and spine that City simply don't have in the CL.
I thought few of our players were horrid tonight, Laporte and Ederson with their typical CL shits, Dias panicked, Walker miles off. KDB poor and Mahrez aside from the goal. Gonna be hard for the team to pick themselves up for the league.
@giorno and other Real fans. Enjoy. Last 75 minutes was all you guys.
Impressive
I don't know what UEFA is thinking about scrapping two-legged semi finals.
Yeah, sure, it won't be the end of the competition or anything, but there really is no need to cut it down, it works.

And then...maybe not
We the Scousers slip up against Spurs might just blunt their cause, hopefully
Its not over yet. Good weekend for city but Liverpool are still within striking distance.
