23 wins, 2 draws
81 scored
19 conceded

Real Madrid has a tough task tonight.

 

[Mjolnirs]

I don't normally pull for EPL sides, but when I do, Real Madrid is on the field.

 

[B Maverick]

COURTOIS!!!!!

 

[AAABatteries]

Well, that was coming - City was dominating

 

[B Maverick]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think we can all agree

GO INTER

 

[B Maverick]

Real Madrid in disarray

Merde!

[CletiusMaximus]

second day in row that Championship Playoff >>> Champions League

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Don Carlo is a legend, but I'm not sure I understand a defensive tactic predicated on giving De Bruyne all the time and space he wants.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL, 2.31 to .02 in xG.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL, 2.31 to .02 in xG.

196 to 10 in attacking third touches! This is Real Madrid, not American Samoa.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

What a hiding. About as lopsided as it could have been.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I guess the bright side here is that RM's knockout rounds got real crazy the last 10-20 minutes last year. They seemed pretty much dead several times on their way to winning it.

 

[titusbramble]

I think our only hope now is that Inter repeat the ****housing performance they had in their last CL final, but in reality I'm just content in the knowledge that even if they do win, City are still at least two CL titles under expectation

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Let's All Do the Poznan!

Cracked me up when the announcer said at the beginning of the second half, "Nobody would say that City needs a European title for the Guardiola era to be a success."

I think literally anybody would say that. Pep's epitaph will read "never won a Champions League without Lionel Messi" if he doesn't get another one.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

City are a much better team than Inter, but they were a much better team than Chelsea too.

 

[titusbramble]

Let's All Do the Poznan!

I still find it hilarious that their initial reaction to Poznan doing the Poznan was one of "you sad bastards" or "what the ****ing hell is that"

 

[The Z Machine]

What a hiding. About as lopsided as it could have been.

It's like Real forgot that they were Real Madrid.

Well, bye ****heads.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Don't think you can blame Steffen on this, but it does make him look a bit awkward. If you come out you have to get the ball goes the cliche, but he was put in a tough spot and ended up in no man's land. A great pass and calm finish I'd say more than anything. Coventry City going to Wembley.

Its Hamer Time!

I disagree. No reason for him to be out that far on that ball, no way he is getting anywhere near it.
And then he didn't get back into good position. If he is back to his line he has a better chance to save it,

He was hired to win the CL. Previous managers at City won the domestic titles. Pep needs to win the CL.

Saw some videos of City fans being asked "Would you lose the FA Cup to United if it meant winning a Champions League Title. They were all saying NO and losing to United would not be worth the CL Trophy.

Newcastle v Brighton, big game for European spots.
8' in and Newcastle on the front foot looking like City vs Real Madrid.

 

[B Maverick]

Newcastle 2-0 Brighton going into halftime.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I'd imagine a 2-0 win would just about guarantee Newcastle a CL spot.

 

[McBokonon]

I'd imagine a 2-0 win would just about guarantee Newcastle a CL spot.

Newcastle fans everywhere won’t believe it until that first night in Milan.

 

[B Maverick]

Depends on your definition of "just about". The win would keep Brighton from being able to catch them. They would still need to win one of their final 2 matches

Newcastle. United, Liverpool fighting for the last 2 spots. Brighton still has to play City

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Depends on your definition of "just about".

Odds Liverpool go W-W and Newcastle drop points in both games is going to be very low.

(looks like maybe 8% or so)

ETA: 95% through to the CL, post win. More or less down to Liverpool and United.

 

[McBokonon]

NEWCASTLE HAVEN’T WON YET YOU JINXING BASTARDS

With Leicester and Chelsea for Newcastle you are probably right.

 

[B Maverick]

That did not look good for Willock

NEWCASTLE HAVEN’T WON YET YOU JINXING BASTARDS

Congrats McBokonon!!

 

[B Maverick]

Almiron flops twice then holds the guys leg and gets up all upset at the Brighton player.

 

[B Maverick]

Let's see if they call it back for the 2 fouls in the building or his hair being offside

 

[McBokonon]

Miggy just flopped a ****ing dime onto Wilson’s foot!!!

 

[B Maverick]

Damn that escalated quickly

Great ball and great finish

 

[B Maverick]

That's how you kill off a game.

 

[McBokonon]

Me: BRING ON FRESH LEGS, EDDIE!!

Eddie: *posts captain america no i don’t think i will gif*

 

[B Maverick]

Brighton is done, just giving them away now.

Sheffield Wednesday have just scored in the 8th minute of injury time to lead Peterborough 4-0 in the play-off semi-final, having lost the first leg 4-0. Scenes.

 

[McBokonon]

@titusbramble what in the blue blazes is a peterborough doing????

 

[Desert_Power]

Sevilla 🤝 Europa League

Sevilla 🤝 Europa League

Don’t count Juve out

 

[McBokonon]

@titusbramble what in the blue blazes is a peterborough doing????

Just took the lead on a free kick then own goal in the first extra time period. What a stomach punch it would be for Wednesday to climb all the way back just to lose in the end. I’m sure titus will feel…differently

Uh-oh. Down a man with 5 mins to go.
