People forget how successful RM have been in this competition. It was never going to be a stroll for city like people were saying

Premier League is the best league in the entire world by a long mile though

stay within your script pls

I was wondering why the keeper never dived last night for Bernardo Silva’s penalty down the middle !!


The goalie was apparently tipped off by Rudiger and Kepa

Villa are the only English team with a realistic chance of progressing in Europe tonight. Crazy to think it's a very real possibility there won't be any English clubs in all 3 European competitions.

Liverpool over the years have been the comeback kings in Europe over the years though, could be an interesting game. I don't see West Ham pulling it back.

Haaland relies on service to score goals, and he didn't get any. That's just the type of player he is

Hardly tipped off, they study the way the goalie moves in training

My mistake they told the keeper about Kovacic’s preference to go to his left corner



Kepa and Rudiger were with Kovacic at Chelsea
:::

Another former Chelsea player with local knowledge, Rudiger pointed to his left when former team-mate Mateo Kovacic stood up to take City's third penalty. Lunin heeded his advice, and saved diving to his right after Kovacic went the way Rudiger suggested.

penalty shootouts are always a lottery. The simple fact is that city couldn't see off RM in normal or extra time, so they are not the winning machine everyone has been saying they are.

At this point in the season, the stakes are always high. You can win or lose everything in a handful of days.

What i will say is that this will be a wake up call to city, and they will be stronger next season

penalties are always a lottery tbh


here in Sittard we have a penalty curse sadly

Game on in Italy

I agree.

Nobody is safe against Real Madrid, regardless of how good they are at home.

Just wait until they have Mbappe and that brilliant young Brazilian wonderkid ( the new Romario) in the summer

I'm sure mock is happy to hear that Aston Villa are the last premier team left standing in europe :laugh:

Villa doing better at penalty shootouts than Man City :hehe:

As long as we stay up, I honestly don't care.:laugh:

Also my Dad was really happy about the result, so I can't begrudge it too much.

It'll definitely be interesting times for them.

PSG have Xavi Simons too next season :D the dutch wonderkid whose doing again brilliantly this season at RB Leipzig


so they won't miss Mbappe that much i think


Lee and Simons would be a dynamic duo on the wings i think

What was with that reaction to the pitch invaders :umm2: bloke was just wandering around on his own for ages with no security anywhere to be seen

BD all over RM atm

Dortmund should be 2 up

Gives me PTSD from 2 years ago. This is how Madrid do it.

Yeah they need to be taking these chances....AGAIN!!! Could be 3 up by now

Beat me to it
