I don't think anybody is happy about this new Champions League format. The clubs added belong in the Europa league, maybe they should have expanded the Europe instead and combined it with that other 3rd tier competition that nobody cares about.
@Sputnik A oke goal disadvantage away and your out? Need I remind you that Real Madrid has lost at home to Milan 3-1 and to Barcelona 4-0. Its certainly unlikely to beat then away, but they arent invincible lol
@LM10GOAT Against Newcastle, they wanted to play. Against Real Madrid they gave up even before stepping on the grass! That's how modern, overpaid football works! What would be ethical is to forfeit the game, lose it 3-0 without traveling and saving a lot of money. But of course they still want to pocket the tv-rights so they show up, but without wanting to play. It's disgusting!
@Zoltan if those professional football players are truly professional, they should give money from their wages to those fans who travelled from Manchester to Madrid for making them watch terrible football and wasting their time
@Zoltan City is just not good, you need to face the truth. Perhaps they are still winning some games because of the opponent that thinks they are playing City of last year. It's that simple and the players aren't all that. What surprised me today is Pep not playing his best forward which is strange. Marmoush was lucky against Newcastle why making the drastic change ?
@EmilHas Because City was playing the game of the season, being 1 goal down from the first leg, and because drastic would mean that he would play both Haaland and Marmoush up front, against a tough team like Real Madrid. Instead, he opted for laying down with only 1 goal disadvantage, which is criminal for such an expensive team like City. That's why he did not play Haaland and say Doku instead of Bernardo Silva, and pushing Gundogan further up field where he can give assists. That would have been the winning mindset, but Guardiola is both bold and not bold enough at the same time. You rather stay surprised. I, on the other hand, know that all this is intentional - nothing is by chance in here, just as in the Dortmund - Sporting game it was an intentional 0-0, in which the Sporting coach also gave up, which was singled by an uninjured Gyökeres not even traveling with the team!
Based on the official lineup without Haaland, Guardiola is "masterminding" again a memorable City loss! LOL Bernardo Silva in the lineup means -1 person who loves to alibi himself out of the game. Real Madrid win here!
@Marbella It's amazing how many "frauds" are in today's football! Just look at today's Dortmund - Sporting game: when I saw the official lineup AND the bench without Gyökeres and I couldn't find any injury news on him, I immediately knew that Sporting gave up on this game against Dortmund. Then, knowing what a "fraud" Nico Kovac is as a coach, I immediately knew it will be a low scoring game, possibly even 0-0. It is disgusting how disrespectful all these overpaid coaches and players are towards the fans! If I would be in the stands, I probably could not control my anger! That's why I never go to football games.
Gonna have to laugh if City play better without Haaland today. Vini vs a 20yr old from uzbekistan with 20 professional games of XP in France. And Madrid have real centerback available now. Hard not to bet on Madrid here but one can hope. Should be a great game enjoy.
This game would be enjoyable without these garbage Italian and Spanis coaches who don't have the guts to play offensively against one another to see who can score more goals. You can shower them with the best, most expensive players from every corner of the world, these stupid coaches would still play defensively, focused on ball possession even though the fans would deep down expect goals. Now I don't address these lines to all those id.ots who live in self-denial and would claim that they definitely don't want to see goals. Rather, they attend or watch a game in order to celebrate a win or qualification. These people have no understanding of the joy football has to offer. That joy has nothing to do with catenaccio, ball possession, or managing the game. It has everything to do with scoring goals, making great dribbles, and yes, at times making great defensive moves as well, but ONLY as part of a fast paced, counterattack inspired, brave approach to football, not this static coward BS
Mmmm bap aye

MC were warned 2 days ago that they face a 100 point deduction or instant relegation due tp FFP rules.
Really poor display from City. I was not rooting for them but I didn't expect such lopsided match. By the way, don't think Pep would be fired yet.
Savinho disappeared from the game, maybe the narrator spoke his name between 3 and 5 times
City looks tired, especially Marmoush, the only one who still shows breath is the right back khusanov
Pep got it totally wrong with his tactics and team line up.
@Marbella They were already out after the first leg anyway.
@Sputnik A oke goal disadvantage away and your out? Need I remind you that Real Madrid has lost at home to Milan 3-1 and to Barcelona 4-0. Its certainly unlikely to beat then away, but they arent invincible lol
Goodbye shitty. Pep the cheat has no solutions
@EvilDevil Pep starting with Marmoush and not playing Haaland was criminal
horrendous city defense. How was it possible for Newcastle to lose 4-0 against this team.
Wrong approach to the game from Newcastle/Hove, and Man City were there to capitalise on it.

MN city is the best
@tomerb HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@tomerb the best of the rest :) and even that is questionable

@Zoltan You were right about the 'bald fraud'.

@Zoltan Arne Slot is yet another bald fraud and he will be officially exposed soon.
Gonna have to laugh if City play better without Haaland today. Vini vs a 20yr old from uzbekistan with 20 professional games of XP in France. And Madrid have real centerback available now. Hard not to bet on Madrid here but one can hope. Should be a great game enjoy.

1:3 M.City !
@zardonic Not even funny tbh.
@zardonic What were you smoking ?
Real Madrid have won 4 consecutive european games.Man City have lost 3 consecutive away european games.
Man city Eliminated
Should be a great game of attacking football end to end.
@Marbella I don't think you were right :)
Gonzalez, Silva, Dias, Stones.
if thats City lineup, it can be nice match. 2-2.
I thought Haaland is injured? Anyway, I'd bet a 2-1 City win.
BTTS
Real Madrid 3-1
@Marbella score correct lol
Extra time is likely here
@MoneyMan Agree. If there were away goals, I would say Real Madrid have already progressed, but since there are none - it hasn't been settled yet.
@Sputnik Are you sure ?
over 1.5 first half goals
Man City will win by 3-1
