Shame. We actually played well, high intensity, created chances, got some shots away, just story of the season that our conversion rate is appalling. One of the worst in whole country in 2021... shame we didn’t play and actually close the Madrid midfield down in the first game as shows that we had the legs on them.
14 shots, 3 on target. remember the Salah one first minute, firmino early in second half. Don’t remember any others. Just not been good enough
thought tonight , by recent standards , we were pretty good until we we reached the edge of their box .
Played for literally 5 minutes missed another sitter then fall off the cliff. Aimless balls in and just giving it away. All too early, too narrow, no team work. Well done real, in truth any sort of finishing from us would just have roused them to rip us apart. A simple seeing out of the job for them and a big rebuild needed for us.
Come on mate. They ALLOWED us to do that !! The play up-to the edge of their box is completely irrelevant
No one fancied getting into the box for that ox cross despite him running from the half way line to get into crossing position Well the worse thing is we should have won that game comfortably. To not even properly test courtois with the chances we had is poor. general play was decent, but the **** 45 minutes in Madrid are ultimately what cost us
The good news is that we played much better and actually dominated that. I had Madrid as nailed on scorers but they defended well. We should have scored but wasn’t to be. This is City’s year imo. They would beat this Madrid side easily....in fact I’ve said for a while; they’ll win the quadruple imo.
As with the first game, feeling of disappointment. Over 180 minutes I've thought we where the better team for 135 of them. But all was list in the first 45, poor attitude in the first 45 gave us a mountain to climb. However I feel we did enough in the second leg to go through, but its quite amazing how this team has lost its spark. The previous two years we would have had Madrid on toast. It's been an appalling year, god I'm looking forward to the end of it.
they allowed Salah and Gini to have chances that could have won the game? We did enough - just....they defended very well...ultimately we lost this in Madrid.
