REAL MADRID vs MANCHESTER CITY | Champions League Round of 16 1st Leg | 11.03.26 | 21:00 CET

Honestly, I've never come across such a polarizing player in my life.

 

Props to the players,nobody expected this .Such performances are so rare in the past 2 years.

Now we have to go through no excuses ,3-0 is a big lead ,no players suspended ,City are not the team they used to be ,have to face Bayern .

The whole team were amazing except for Arda,Thiago has to play ,Mendy is a wall but wtf is going on with him

******** it have to face Bayern and as crazy as it sounds i rather play them than Arsenal

 

Embarrassing behavior honestly

 

Team effort. VAMOS. Also we needed some clutch momments and Fede gave them. Bravo.

 

Fede "singlehandedly" keeping us in the LaLiga race and in the CL in one week.

 

Will any injured player be back for 2nd leg?

 

Rudiger with another defensive classic vs Haaland and City btw. Huijsen was neat tonight.

 

Apparently he is a cancer in the dressingroom.

No seriously, his 2026 has been otherworldly. Can he inspire us to a CL trophy? I think so

 

Asi gana el Madrid!

Where are those who burried this team before the game?

 

Worldclass.

DO NOT FORGET THIS BY RÜDIGER!

Wonderful clearance. I'd argue it was an offside on the winger

 

Terrible penalty by Vini who is ofc catching a lot of heat tonight but was otherwise good in the first half. Won't get much credit tonight but I'm pleased.

Honestly can't fault City for this "smelling blood" strategy. There will be a lot of hindsight heroes in Manchester tonight.

Brahim was solid today.
Props to Huijsen as well.

Thiago PITAAAAARRRRCHHHHH

 

Goes to show, a team full of heart beats a team full of who every time.
I thought we learnt this from the Glalacfico days but a reminder isn’t bad either

 

Thiago just proved why one worldclass player in that position will change whole game...

 

Pep's fetish for PES Master League fake players seems to have caught up with him. I see a lot of players that are fast strong and play how he wants to but no one really good enough to be consistent.

 

Arbeloa says the injury to Mendy looks bad. FFS MAN

 

Will Carreras be healthy for return leg?

 

Gotta rest Rudiger vs Elche this weekend.
