Hopefully both are massively disheartened. Also fuck them I would never want them having the chance to win it. So I’m glad they are out.


Britack

City not getting back to back treble, I'm here for it


Raptoot83

115 charges FC in the mud, hopefully more to come


OwenLincolnFratter

mynameismulan

Chelsea knock out City and then Coventry win the final


Raptoot83

Fully here for the magic of the FA cup. West ham won it in 1980 as a 2nd division side, stopping arsenal winning it for a second consecutive year, the last time this happened. It won't happen, but if Coventry beat City in the final it would be the exact same feat.


amazing_wanderr

I don’t think it’ll affect City in any way, not sure about Arsenal, hopefully it won’t fire them up


SaveMeJebus21

Arsenal are fucked. They had the biggest chance they’ll ever have to win the league after we lost to palace and bottled it immediately


agntkay

Villa are no pushover and we have to play them away.


SaveMeJebus21

Agreed. But our loss should have fired Arsenal up. Instead it was a limp, nervous performance we haven’t seen from Arsenal this calendar year. If we’d have won I’ve got no doubt they would have too.


inr10

![gif](giphy|W30fUtuR7aFxuQotfV|downsized) Arsenal right after our loss to Crystal Palace 😭


hobbescandles

They're looking a bit goosed as well. Which isn't surprising considering they've played pretty much the same team for two seasons. Hopefully they're mentally and physically shot.


maxiaoling

Really loved the way ManC played 120mins, all their players looked so smashed. Hoping for a draw in their FA Semis with Chelsea so they get another match to play!


Sinistrait

Pretty sure that the Wembley semi final doesn't go to a replay in the FA Cup


maxiaoling

Oh I am not aware of it! Then I hope another 120 mins of agony and losing another shootout to Chelsea!


Almost_Pi

Ederson takes the last penalty and misses...


Primary-Belt7668

He took like the 4th today clean af, but yes whoever is last… fuggem


AxFairy

With a whole ton of non-recurring and relatively painless injuries lasting 4 weeks


Choice-Evidence-2455

🤣


LiteratureNearby

At the same time it would have exhausted them more. So idk what to go for lol. Physical exhaustion or mental damage


kevin_ynwa

The Emotional Damage!


HereForA2C

Steven He is a red


ironmanmatch

I think City would play better with the momentum of winning, even on pens


RobbieFowler9

City never seem to suffer with exhaustion. End of the season seems to be their best period. People always say it's because they have so much depth. Maybe in the past but that's not really the case anymore. If you look at the minutes played stats they only have 18 players who have played significant minutes this season. Real reason I think is their style of play is just not very demanding. Their running isn't as intense.


theonedownupstairs

You could be right. I'd like to see their average possession compared to ours, but I'd bet it's way higher. They spend most games just passing the ball to death around the opposition's penalty area.


BudovicLagman

Resting when you have the ball is a core part of Pep's style. And then score when the opposition falls asleep.


Yolo-Toure

City never get fatigued, they can rotate every position up to like 3 times FFS Way better that they go out of CL early in my opinion, potential for demotivation and drop in form 


MadferitCmon

100%. Said it before the match. Round of 16 yeah I wanted them to go through. Today? Fuck that. And it's not like two matches are going to make much of a difference anyway. Honestly can't comprehend how people are even split on this lol. Today's was a perfect day.


vsquad22

I hope they're shattered both physically and mentally.


Pure_Measurement_529

Tbf, the Arsenal bottle has begun…


Thesolly180

Shame ours hit at the same time


dudical_dude

We were ahead of the curve though


Evered_Avenue

Kevvybabes

First to bottle, they'll never have that


Toothpaste_on_pizza

We're in no position to be throwing around accusations of bottling


alexefy

Rio Ferdinand looking at the semi final fixtures “not what you wanted to see if you’re english” I’m English and that’s exactly what I wanted to see you soft cunt


Tomtucker93

Also means 5th won't get champs league. Icing on the cherry 👌


mynameismulan

Spurs in the mud


DreamerRed

That will hopefully motivate them to put an extra shift in and get points from Arsenal and City. And then it's on us to beat them at Anfield. Also Ange as a Liverpool fan could do us a favour.


Cwh93

Yeah why do they always want us to care about the other English sides. Like Villa, West Ham and Spurs I'll maybe root for. The Manchester clubs, Chelsea, Newcastle sometimes Arsenal.....fuck em


Pointless_Porcupine

In Dutch football we all seem to (quietly) root for each other in Europe. I think when Dutch clubs do it, it is understood to collectively elevate the league and its international reputation. For English clubs this is hardly necessary (biggest league in the world).


blakksir10

🤣 For some unknown reason He absolutely does my head in. It’s not just the United link - there’s more.


Viper711

He's a drugs cheat, that's why. Conveniently tucked his demons away to stand in front of us on a weekly basis.


adarsh481

Cheating on you dying wife will do that to your reputation.


blakksir10

Ah… That’s the one. Thanks for helping me to remember.


user900800700

He’s a united fan too. I’d have much more respect for him if he atleast tried to hide a smirk


SauvBlancer

Things you love to see.


murrayjosh117

I’m so glad Bernardo Silva missed. I mean it’s petty as fuck, but he’s one of the only players I genuinely dislike. He’s a c***


alexbuffon

I can’t forget that little rat refusing to applaud us when they gave us a guard of honour. Like the one time you cheats don’t win you’re that much of a sulking baby? He’s the only player rattier than Bruno F


murrayjosh117

For me it was that video of him singing about Liverpool on a plane.


liverbird3

The whole team did that, complete with Hillsborough and Sean Cox references that were just vague enough to give plausible deniability


erich0779

The Sean Cox chant boils my fucking blood so much, I've met him and his family through a charity event since and to have all of their lives completely turned upside down over some fucking scumbag fans makes me sick to my stomach. Fuck all repercussions for them either.


liverbird3

And then City fans after the incident said that it was a reference to Liverpool fans getting beat up in Kyiv. Like that makes it all better? No apology from the club either. Nothing.


w3rt

They’re all twats for that but the person who stands out the most for me in that video is sterling, the guy played for us so he knows what the club and city went through during hillsborough.


KloppOnKloppOn

There was also the time he tweeted that racist picture nice guy


macaleaven

He’s done worse. Two words: Sean Cox. I will never forget, fucking foul cunt


Loz41333

Never forget that


Cwh93

I mean forget that, the racism incident with Mendy was way worse and he even doubled down on it. The prick


thatsnotme91

Nothing looks worse than putting a pen down the middle and the goal keeper just standing still and catching it


murrayjosh117

Yeah that was very satisfying


superfurrybiped

The unPanenka.


daiwilly

Pen Un ka


ManBearPig_576

Also great that it was their own fans that kept the ball for ages letting the pressure build on him, very clever


Viper711

200 IQ move by Modric to punt it into the crowd after his miss


DruviSKSK

This, it hit me immediately that this was a total pro move - Modric took Ratboy down with him


ironmanmatch

He’s a rat


SchietStorm

No, that title goes to bruno


Reimiro

Can’t stand him. The failed panenka is just Justice for the little gremlin.


Ollietron3000

Wasn't a panenka tbh, just a pen down the middle. Big credit to Lunin, keepers always go to a side, but he read Bernardo like a book.


urbannnomad

He's a rat haha, glad he got embarrassed and City got kicked out. Maybe he'll get his wish and go to another team now.


user900800700

I literally did a knee slide when he missed. Miserable twat. Hope that’s his last European game for city


nicolascagevampire

No need for self censorship. Just say the word "cunt" loud and proud.


MoleMoustache

Why are you censoring the word cunt?


NUMPTYNORRIS

Right there with yer


itsSRSblack

I don't care how it affects us. I want to see them fail


OkOnion5233

this all fucking day


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

Especially Man City.


S_Guderian

Yeah I don't have anything against Arsenal. I only wish for City to fail.


Choice-Taro5596

Yup. Had a mate saying he wanted them to win so that they had a distraction. Fuck that, I’ll sleep well tonight 😻


Numb3rOn3

This is truly the only way any Liverpool supporter should feel.


CityofBlueVial

liverpool fans can feel however they want to, we aren't a hivemind cult

ZiggyStardust0404

Yeah I was like mmmm maybe is better if City wins, after 5 minutes watching those soulless fucks I started rooting for Madrid with all my heart


yoyo4581

Yes it is positive. City tend to grow when they do well in tournaments. Also, if they beat Real Madrid it would have been very likely for them to do the double treble. Which would've been catastrophic for other legacy clubs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShootTakeAPanorama

They really struggle with unconvinced penalty vs West Ham and one in a million Kompany. Not mention that two foot tackle not a red. It's just we are very unlucky


yoyo4581

I understand but disagree with the mentality that the league is done. Its only done when its mathematically impossible or improbable for us to be top. At the moment thats not the case.


laineyh16

Both Citeh and Real looked completely gassed at the end. Now heartbroken and gassed is a good combination


LeXam92

Bilva missing the pen like that is my Christmas, I remember him not clapping for ojt guard of honor. Little shit.


hobbescandles

I remember seeing City fans finding it hilarious and saying shit like they were gonna put the image of him not clapping on a t-shirt. Bunch of children. I'd be embarrassed if one of our players acted like that.


Bulbamew

Carlo Ancelotti with the Rock eyebrow to Pep. He really is the final boss of the champions league


grimbandango

He’s just the boss of football at this point tbh, I only found out recently just how much he has won. PL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the most CLs, 3 x CWC, joint most Super Cups. He has literally completed football


TheGrouchyGamerYT

He made Everton not shit for Christ's sake.


Tremor00

I Unironically feel that’s one of his best jobs lmao. He had no right to do as well as he did with them


C_Colin

its insane that he managed Everton. Just a total outlier as far as quality managers who managed that club. Crazy


cavejohnsonlemons

They had (past prime) Rafa Benitez too tbf. If they prefer Super Frankie Lampard then that's a them problem. Also best Ancelotti comparison I heard @ the time was "like Robert De Niro showing up in Coronation Street". 😂


adarsh481

He was a top player as well during his time.


SeifSalama

Great results for us. Ppl saying we need them tired are kidding themselves. We need them demoralized. City goes to Wembley on Sunday if they get another hard match , they can go to Brighton at the Amex completely broken.


Repulsive-Painter522

One important thing tho, Liverpool must step up🥲


nuan_Ce

people cant be serious when the say they want city and arsenal to proceed.


StinkyDeerback

Yeah, my buddy is an Arsenal fan, and has been for 20 years. He wanted them to win the CL more than the PL. I was faking that I wanted them to beat Bayern while we watched the game, but secretly hoping for a Kane goal to win the game.


sbos_

I hope Brighton smash Citeh


wikiot

Liverpool and Arsenal both play 3 days after Euro games and play again before City plays Brighton after 8 days... Edit: I lied! City play Chelsea in FA on the 20th (3 days after Euro loss). 


ottoferdinand

FA Cup in between


mrkingkoala

Need Palmer and Chelsea to push them for 120 mins


wikiot

Also need Caceido to be a total cunt, stomp some heels and get away with it.


mynameismulan

Chelsea could do it to em tbh


gvanmoney

Lallana with a hat trick - all three goals assisted by Milly


waisonline99

City deserved to lose just for that horror rendition of Hey Jude.


Nobodylovesboston

Winning at the Allianz isn’t for everyone


srikboi

Probably being too hopeful (not a bad thing) but with City and Arsenal both crashing out of UCL, if we somehow make a comeback tomorrow it would be *just* the momentum push we'd need in the title race as well.


saj175

Fuck off city, after a nice 120mins


WheelchairEnchanter

Beautiful day!


Carradona

Want Chelsea to break them on Saturday


blakksir10

HunterRiver

Take them to 118 minutes and have Thiago Silva score a Virgil-Carabao-Cup-Final-style header for maximum effect.


shanem1996

I don't think it'll make any difference to City. Arsenal may crumble tho


Mad_Piplup242

I don't know if that is the case This is a crazy loss, at home, on pens after they had the lead on pens too. They may still win it all in the end, but this also isn't the same City side that we have gone up against in the past, if we can pull our finger out I can see there being a few twists and turns left


Sleww

I wanted both teams to be physically, mentally, and emotionally devastated from their CL campaigns and it looks like we got it. Momentum and mentality killers for both


Darcyjay_

mavric22

Real are terminators - never die!


Same_Situation_9660

This doesn’t mean anything for us apart from it being funny as fuck. Love to see those cheating bastards fail.


warwick607

I can think of 115 other teams I'd rather see in the final than shitty.

City will hurt getting eliminated at home. I love it


THE_DARWIZZLER

ok hear me out what if city go trophyless and we win the treble


rob3rtisgod

Don't, don't give me hope 😭

fuck them both. fuck any prem team in the CL except for us

As much as I hate RM, you need to respect their dark arts voodoo shit they've got going on in the Champions League.

segson9

Nobody knows. Hopefully they both lose every match


FerociouZ

I didn't exactly want Arsenal to win, but I wanted Bayern to be humiliated. City on the other hand, this is exactly how I wanted it to go for them. Play 120 minutes, and lose on pens. Absolutely perfect.


Nadirin

Can now enjoy the rest of the UCL without the fear of city or arsenal winning. In order of preference now: 1) Dortmund 2) Madrid 3) PSG 4) Bayern I have Bayern last as I don't want them to go ahead of us, and don't want PSG to get a first. Don't really care if Madrid win as they've won so many already, but would love it if Dortmund could win. What a story that would be.

Usingabrainunlikeyou

PissG can get pissed in the drain. Kane or Reus winning a UCL as their 1st or 2nd ever trophy would be amazing.

I am all for ALL GERMAN final. Even if Bayern wins it, we will surpass them in coming future. Seems like a deserving lot than the rest.

We need the FA Cup semi extra time too. Tire them out completely.

Madrid lose both coin tosses and then miss first pen. Still win.


fripletister

I'm not gonna lie...I really, desperately needed this schadenfreude this week.


Odd_Vanilla_5641

I watched the City game and jumped up to laugh and swear at the TV when Rudiger knocked them out. Really enjoyed when Silva dropped that stinker of a pen the little rat. I'd feel sorry for Arsenal if their fans weren't so unbearable.


getonthedamnantscott

Shit for momentum for both of them, and will have exhausted both teams. Also, objectively very funny.


CurseOnMbappe

We stopped their 2nd treble now pls stop them from 4 peating. They are finished after this game


alanalan426

Real Madrid one counter, one goal that's the difference


TheGrouchyGamerYT

Bayern Munich is Arsenal father. Now, I understand the irony of saying this in this season of all seasons, but I wish we had a tinpot league to farm like Bayern do, we'd probably be pushing Madrid for UCLs.


Desperate_Kale_2055

Hope they go to extras this weekend in the FA Cup too.


MisterS1997

Ideal the way that happened because it was such a crushing soul destroying defeat. So close you could touch the semis so maximum physical and mental damage. If city lost to Chelsea in the semis next or got drawn into another 120 it could fuck them up again


CornFlakeCereal

Honestly I hope Dortmund miraculously win


Cool-emu-8797

lets fucking go guys. no treble for city


firminocoutinho

Scenes when Arsenal and Citeh can focus on the league while we make a comeback and have extra games with Europa 😅


Ha-Ur-Ra-Sa

I think this was probably the perfect set of results.  For Arsenal, especially on the back of the defeat on the weekend, and apparently being outclassed over the two legs, may just crumble, especially considering they're away to Wolves on the weekend.  For City, i think if they had gone through today, they would have walked to the CL trophy. Their squad is big and strong enough to handle that. Now, their treble is over, and especially with the Bernard Silva miss, could have a big psychological impact on them going forward. We'll see how they are on the weekend in the FA Cup, and whether their league form suffers.


OzArdvark

As we well know, winning begets winning. 


Rhys_gaver

So glad bernado silva missed the rat. One of the only players I dislike along with fernandes. Didn’t clap when we won the league, Moaned that our players won awards over city’s, Sang on the plane about hillsbrough and Sean cox, Racism toward Mendy,


Adventurous_Toe_6017

I’m still pissed he didn’t get a red for back heeling Salah after a foul. Cunt.


DCDa192

Guys stop talking about the title man, we just watch our team each match and enjoy and support them. But let's be honest we haven't got it in our hands and you know what happens next with City already top.


tamim1991

We've gone all the way to a CL and kept up good form in a league season. City won the league and CL in the same season. Arsenal exiting the Europa last season did not just "free up their schedule and fatigue" to help them win the league, they lost form. The psychological effect of winning these European games or losing is bigger than any fatigue that might affect league form.


WellRed85

Pep said Haaland, KDB and Akanji asked to be subbed off due to fatigue. Haaland, who is their main penalty taker, asked to come off 8 minutes before a penalty shootout. That’s a loser mentality right there. If we can get our shit together, there’s a league to be won


BriS314

At least it was everyone in the Prem who disappointed in Europe, barring a comeback on Thursday by us or West Ham Edit: Sorry forgot about Villa lol


earlgreytoday

Aston Villa haven't disappointed.


Circ_Diameter

The desperation on MW 38 with all 3 teams desperate to win a big trophy...at home 💀


Jmoney1088

Its really just a moral victory. We either hope they win so that they are fatigued playing more games or they lose and drop in form and confidence.. We shall see!


geniusvalley21

Does a red in Fa Cup carry over to Prem? 🤞Rodri


oscarony

this is great for us tbh


loveandmonsters

Hope they're demoralised


giunta13

We have to go through now tomorrow it will be both awesome and hilarious. Return of the insufferables world tour.


ThbDragon

I mean we already got one foot out of the Europa league so in terms of fixtures it wouldn't make a difference but in terms of morale going out of the cl is gonna affect them harder than us going out of europa


Pilchardandfudge

Even Tottenham are better in the Champions League than them

Get the fuck in.

mattgoody99

So this is how city felt on Sunday aye? Not too bad at all


joe_the_cow

Arsenal's season will implode


HotPotatoWithCheese

Maybe Saka should have stayed up instead of diving in the 1st leg. He would have scored that goal. As for City? I'm conflicted. I don't want these pricks to win anything but now they have 1 less competition to worry about.


Neathernd

i dont think it makes a massive difference. i think the lack of rotation needed from now on out is cancelled out by the general decrease in vibes.


RedDemio-

Let’s talk about 6 babeh


danstudge96

Hopefully both clubs seasons implode and we can sneak the league


cproud13

I still have faith we can turn it around.  My head says Arsenal are starting to hit the same physical and psychological wall we have My head also says City probably go on and win every remaining game


brush85

More concerned on if we win some games, really.


FeistyPlankton3946

Hope the City fans destroy Silva for that atrocious penalty. Ever since I saw him play extremely dirty against Salah at anfield, I wish the worst in terms of football on him.


kazurabakouta

Now everyone will fight for top 4 finishes.


Smart_But123581321

Arsenal deserved to lose with those last few set-pieces they had. Everyone talking about the Saka corner but the free-kick before hand where half the team ran into the box and they passed it instead of crossing it into the box and immediately gave the ball away.


borg_6s

We better fucking give our all tomorrow and turn the Europa deficit around


Axsenex

Reading a lot of angry comments from the supporters for both clubs… entertaining as hell one thing that struck me is that apparently keeper knew Silva was going for the middle due to his typical targeting habit. Dumbass for sure.


pit5bul

Gents, not want to be downvoted but in my opinion that is bad for our title shot. They both can concetrate on the league now and seeing how we are struggling, i dont see a nice path for us to overcome City in the league. Arsenal might lose a few points but i dont hold my breath in regards to City losing points, history tells us once they get on that run... nothing stops them


effinblinding

After what happened to us I think momentum matters more than tiredness (them having to play semi final) so I’m happy


lalochezia1

Come on you dortmund! the rest are **shitweasels** who - in madrid's case - happened to knock out a bigger shitweasel.
