I'd argue that's failure at Bayern for Pep now. Three years and no Champions League, not even got to the final.

Amazing. Gutting for Guardiola, they should have finished the game in the first half.

They had enough chances too. Cracking game. Atleti are like watching Leicester on steroids, fair play to Simeone he's got his team extremely well drilled.

Atletico make defending cool and that is a massive positive imo. The art of defending is being lost these days but they can defend but can counter with pace and quality but they can also play possession football too.

Manchester City supporters would be delighted to hear that...!!!

Kompany broken again.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A massive blow for City. I just wonder whether he will ever get fully fit again.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well taken by Bale but that looked far too easy.

Edit: Deflection as it turns out.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I don't suppose the Real Madrid goal changes things that much. Manchester City needed a goal anyway, and they still do. But it is all Madrid at the moment.

Just hope we don't get another side progressing on the antiquated away goals rule.

What system do you think should be used?

 

[wanderer89]

I always liked the golden goal rule.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

City lucky there, Pepe marginally offside and a good decision but it was pitiful marking and they weren't trying to play him offside.

Same as the play offs works fine there, just doesn't sit comfortably when a team goes through without beating the opposition, at least if it goes to penalties they've beaten them at something.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fernandinho has to hit the target there. Real will always give you a chance, got to take them though.

And that is why Manchester City are still in this tie. Real do give the opposition chances, but when they come along they must be taken.

 

[Lord Knows]

need to get De Bruyne more involved they might then create chances for Sergio Agüero

Aguero must be getting very frustrated. He is getting very little service.

 

[Johnny75]

Citeh's midfield is devoid of creativity and guile. Two defensive midfielders and a woeful Toure are no match for Madrid. Toure in particular is garbage tonight.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Otamendi has no idea how to play offside, hopeless.

 

[wanderer89]

Modric is such a wonderful footballer.
