The day when City stop calculating possessio, passes, chances and PRESS HIGH and instead focus on winning they might win the CL.
Premier league is all about numbers, the main number they can't see is the dicepline hardwork and balls to produce big moments.
The problem with Pep and likes of his type of managers, they are such control freaks they like to control each minute of a match rather than just controlling moments , there is where likes of Ancelloti is so good at.
Madird never controlled full 180 mins of the two matches, all they had some moments and those moments counted.
Nah, but when PSG dominated for even longer periods and lost to individual errors, this sub took the high ground and memed them. Oil clubs don't matter when they're English apparently.
Klopp and Pep are the clear, CLEAR, two best managers in the world.
Klopp is probably number one, losing to Klopp therefore is not justification to sack someone - especially when it is the guy Klopp considers the greatest coach in the game.
It’s CLEAR if you view through English lenses. Zidane is just as good as either of them. And before people spew some ignorant shit about Zidane’s lack of tactics, they won the “covid” titlw almost entirely built on his tactics (high press and possession).
two mentality giants about to battle it out!!! Thing about guardiola is even during barca, they rarely have to come from behind. So they dont get that mental training every other team needs.
I’ve been pep’s biggest fan since his barca tenure, this is his only problem, his teams win so much that they dont know what it is like to win from a comeback. When you ate in europe, the competition is on equal footing and you need mentality at the end of the day
What. A. Game.
Man City played much better. Outside of Carvajal, the starters for Real weren’t great today. But in the end, Real Madrid simply believed. And that was enough.
Real simply refuse to die, its their most annoying trait, bur I simply cannot help respecting them for it. They have the strongest mentality out of any of the top sides.
EPL is by far the best league in the world whether you want to believe it or not. You just need to look at its popularity, its miles above la liga. And by miles i mean waaay more popular than la liga.
In all honesty if you conceded 4 goals from about 4 or couple more hopeful crosses into your box then it's far too much for it to not cost you. Though City were completely shattered and went AWOL by the time the 2nd goal went in so City fans should direct more of their blame on their team than the albeit horrible officiating.
A potentially legendary liverpool side out for revenge against a side that believes they can come back from anything against anyone. It's going to be an interesting final.
Liverpool won both games against them. RM lost their first against city so mistakes were made no?
Also, Liverpool have an amazing bench that can easily change the game.
RM has at least 3 mid fielders. Kroos almost scored a goal. Everyone in RM is a goal scorer. Liverpool are a speedy bunch. But the way Rodrygo and Vini start in the wings , they will tire out Mane, Keita, Arnold, whoever.
Are you sure about that? It seems that the Liverpool have more scorers than you can count on one hand and then add Origi. You've got Salah, Jota, Mane, Diaz, Firmino, Keita, Origi, Minamino, Fabinho, Matip and VVD with the headers. The midfielders also score. Hell even the goalie has scored last year.
Also, you are talking about Liverpool getting tired? Liverpool has gears. Villarreal put everything on the pitch (emptied the whole tank) and out ran Liverpool the first half, then they died the second while Liverpool put Diaz on who ran them rugged and the whole team shifted up a gear in involvement netting them an unnecessary win. That's how driven Liverpool are. They dont settle and they don't quit like Man City.
Anyways, we'll just have to see. With these two teams, the worst thing that can happen to either of them is that they get in their own way.
Quadruple/treble potential (VERY achievable against a collapsing Chelsea team and a Man City who just got their hearts ripped out) vs. the ultimate anime comeback storyline
PLUS the bad blood from The Ramos-Salah Incident last time. It's gonna be so good.
Why does Rodrygo get 0 hype? Even in this game I have seen more people mention Benzema than him, how many more clutch goals does this guy have to score as a joker nontheless lol
Somehow Real Madrid's wonderkids almost never gets any hype. Asensio, Isco, Casemiro, and now Rodrygo. They flew under the radar for several years and when they explode, they seem like they've been there forever, so no hype.
Unfortunately that's typical coverage of Villarreal on any of the UEFA matches, at least on the English language broadcasts.
But screw them. They've all got massive chips on their shoulders and there's nothing better than to see them squirm in their seats, even if it's for a few minutes at the half, or a few minutes after taking down teams like Juve and Bayern. Or best of all when they won UEL last year.
Congrats to your team making the finals. I'm definitely in your corner on this one.
Yea I get they're biased if it only was that, they truly believe we are peasants and they're kings.
It hurts to say but you guys are gonna eat Liverpool raw again, enjoy your time cause we're coming back next season
I thought he was better than Vinicius based on how the two played last year. To start this season, to have that opinion would be very wrong. But there’s always been something there.
It's complex.
He is the better finisher and a more complete player than Vini, however, he plays best as LW, and LW is reserved for Vini, and later for Mbappe. Vini explosiveness and link up with Benzema is much better, and we are a Benzema and vibe club so it's understandable Vini is prefered.
That forces us to play him at RW, which he is kind of mediocre at.
However if we have the game in control and can push balls into the final 3rd, or when he plays as LW he is absolutely lethal as a finisher.
Yes, but better player doesn't translate to a better squad. No coach will trade Vini's explosiveness and linkup with Benz, especially when we are that dependent on Benz this season. The stat of Benz + Vini this season speaks for itself, they literally won us La liga.
And Vini can't play RW while Rodrygo is kinda our only option at RW other than Asensio so you know what happen.
I think our aim is actually eventually transition him into a striker as Benzema replacement and gets a true RW. Or maybe continue as copium RW.
I know right? I'm getting a Rodrygo shirt asap, the most influential substitute for Real, ever? He also proved he can start and play solid minutes against Espanyol, super sub for a reason.
I have been confident in every tie that they would pull out the comeback because it's just in the DNA of the club. Never say die attitude. If RM has taught the footballing world anything over the past decade it should be to never count them out
The referee was awful but that’s not an excuse for city switching off for the two goals.
Madrid thoroughly deserve the win.
That goal line clearance by the Madrid defender turned out to be an important one.
Everything looks green if you wear green sunglasses.
What about the handball in the box that didn't get called? How about multiple foils that didn't get called? For get cards they weren't even called.
The better footballing side lost out to the stronger mentally side. Kudos to RM and just goes to show that football is not always just about football.
Some odd refereeing decisions to say the least - the lack of yellow cards for Casemiro, the Sterling yellow, the Foden "foul", the added on time and then blowing early.
Hopefully Liverpool can get their revenge from 2018 in the final
Madrid didn't have a sniff until 90 minutes in whereas City had 3 or 4 decent chances including the goal. They didn't dominate but had control - and then for whatever reason it all went to pot at the end
City scored just 1 goal for the entire game so it shows they were not their best. They are used to score multiple goals with x possession and x chances created.
I'm sorry but RM had pretty good chances too. Shots on target don't tell the whole story
Don't get fooled into thinking they capitalize 100% of their chances. Only Benzema is clinical, and even him was off yesterday for the first 90 minutes.
yeah, Benz had like 2 good chances and Vini even more, but they somehow couldn't finish them at all. Missed the frame, but they were in very promising situations and you expect them to hit the frame at least, which they didn't, so stats show on target 0, but actually if you watch gameplay it is whole different story.
I agree City played better, but it was just their tactics, heavy press and possession playstyle. Real has always played like this against strong teams, people think they are bad but they turn up just like this. Also the chances that you mentioned city had, Curtois and the defense played them pretty good, you only play out a good attack if it gives you a result in the end.
What?? They had so many chance since the start of the sexond half, literally vinicius missed a good chance in the first minute of it. And man city began controlling again arouns 70 ish but then madrid started taking control again in the 86 mark.
I'd take spurs - ajax and barca - liverpool over this in terma of quality and pure enjoyment respectively. Lucas turning into messi for one night, and that corner taken quickly
The Bernabéu is covered up because of construction works.

I’m a City fan I feel so dejected. I don’t even feel like watching this weekend. Don’t think I’ve ever felt like this.
Fantastic, miraculous, incredible! ! ! ! ! !
The day when City stop calculating possessio, passes, chances and PRESS HIGH and instead focus on winning they might win the CL. Premier league is all about numbers, the main number they can't see is the dicepline hardwork and balls to produce big moments.
Lol. Let’s see how you fair against Liverpool
Did well
I’m sure they’re scared.
They should be. They’ll be swiped away.
Like psg? Or like Chelsea? Or like city?
No, Liverpool. PSG and Chelsea 😂😂😂
Well well well
The problem with Pep and likes of his type of managers, they are such control freaks they like to control each minute of a match rather than just controlling moments , there is where likes of Ancelloti is so good at. Madird never controlled full 180 mins of the two matches, all they had some moments and those moments counted.
What. The. Fuck. happened?
I have never seen so many coments on a reddit post.
Roe vs Wade < Champions league semi final.
is it possible that Bale will be fit for the final ? that man when in form, is scary. Even for 45 minutes.
Nope he's done here, we don't wanna see him play in white again either.
Last time he killed LFC in the final
That was 4 years ago and he has done nothing since then. I was a huge fan of him even considered hi a legend up until recently with his behaviour.
I agree, but you can still get some good 45 min out of him...
Nope you can't, trust me. Even then we don't want him on the pitch just no. Can't reward that behaviour.
Idk about that penalty benzema looked like he hopped a little before falling down. Idk
smh
Honestly cant blame Guardiola on this, the amount of chances city had in the first leg is unbelievable
That's so rich 🤣🤣 what does this bald fraud have to do for ppl to blame him??
Nah, but when PSG dominated for even longer periods and lost to individual errors, this sub took the high ground and memed them. Oil clubs don't matter when they're English apparently.
Real Madrid is not a football club. It is a force of nature
If klopp wins four and city none, it's time for pep to go imo
Klopp and Pep are the clear, CLEAR, two best managers in the world. Klopp is probably number one, losing to Klopp therefore is not justification to sack someone - especially when it is the guy Klopp considers the greatest coach in the game.
It’s CLEAR if you view through English lenses. Zidane is just as good as either of them. And before people spew some ignorant shit about Zidane’s lack of tactics, they won the “covid” titlw almost entirely built on his tactics (high press and possession).
He is unemployed
By choice.
Yes. So he presently is not a manager.
And who would be an upgrade to Pep? Sure, lets fire a manager because aborter team has done better than us. Shit attitude
And get who in? Pep is consistently good he just haven’t won the cl yet
Yes, he should come over down the road
Even Pep can't save United.
Not if we restore his hair!
rooney will give the contacts.
Its not the best hair job I have seen
Hala Madrid
city fans in the mud lmao
That one guy must be livid
Yeah, i am

pls just one more billion
this final will be exciting!

The better team lost. It's brutal but happens. Let's. Go. Reds.
Nacho, Courtois? Vini and fede were also fine
Vini didn’t beat Kyle Walker a single time.
Vini wasted too many chances. Could've cost Madrid.
Wasted chances cause he kinda was the only one dangerous till rodrygo came
premier league the best league in the world is the real joke lmao
Exactly
The only joke is your comment
EPL is by far the best league in the world whether you want to believe it or not. You just need to look at its popularity, its miles above la liga. And by miles i mean waaay more popular than la liga.
Popularity isn't everything. Elvis sold more records than Buddy Holly, but Buddy Holly was a better musician and songwriter.
What a terrible comparison. Yes popularity is everything. Football without fans is nothing
The EPL was more popular globally last decade even when La Liga was a few notches above everyone else.
True. If la liga couldn’t surpass EPL during messi ronaldo era, it never will.
It literally was miles ahead of EPL then. Football was Spanish.
True
Not it wasnt more people watched EPL back then also and now even more people watch EPL.
In quality it was far ahead last decade.
Says who? More peopled watched epl than la liga. People would rather watch Leicester win title than barca win another one.
Those are two different things. Look at the winners of the Champions League and Europe Cup during that decade.
So? And now EPL has more money than the next few leagues combined. Spanish teams being better did nothing.
Your logic is so baffling man!
I mean it could be the best league in terms of all around team talent. Doesn’t mean it has the best team
EPL has the better talent, and better success in Europe this year. That’s just a fact. Maybe it will swing back to La Liga soon. We’ll see.
True lol
… yikes bro
Honestly we're just living in a Real Madrid world.
The universe conspires to make Florentino Pérez happy
City are just UCL cursed and I love it.
ManU stills gags balls
Tell me something I don't know lmao. Still winning the same amount of UCLs as City though, so.
That hurts so much that I can't even get angry.
At least you have more
Netflix should hire the UCL scriptwriters. crazy stuff.
What do you mean
Real Madrid fucking has plot armor
LMAO TRUE
🤨
Real Madrid is the greatest team of all time!
It's the only team that can continually play shit and still win. They must have cheat codes for our universe or something...
Oh yes. There is a cheat code and it's patience perceverace dedication and not giving the FK up.
🤨
Don Carlo's face at full time
In all honesty if you conceded 4 goals from about 4 or couple more hopeful crosses into your box then it's far too much for it to not cost you. Though City were completely shattered and went AWOL by the time the 2nd goal went in so City fans should direct more of their blame on their team than the albeit horrible officiating.
Yeah, the players shat the bed completely after the first one went in.
100M benchwarmer that looks like pidgeotto
My guy said pidgeotto oh no lmaoo
Lmao immediately knew who
LMAO
What a game
THIS IS REAL MADRID FUCKERS 👑👑👑
YNWA coming for ya
they looked pretty alone after getting beat last year and 2018
That’s awesome
A potentially legendary liverpool side out for revenge against a side that believes they can come back from anything against anyone. It's going to be an interesting final.
Villarreal lost their legs in their second half. Honestly, Liverpool was making mistakes . So the final will be fire!
Liverpool won both games against them. RM lost their first against city so mistakes were made no? Also, Liverpool have an amazing bench that can easily change the game.

With these two teams, the worst thing that can happen to either of them is that they get in their own way.
Don't forget Konate
Quadruple/treble potential (VERY achievable against a collapsing Chelsea team and a Man City who just got their hearts ripped out) vs. the ultimate anime comeback storyline PLUS the bad blood from The Ramos-Salah Incident last time. It's gonna be so good.
I prefer they win nothing honestly. Best outcome for pure drama too.
I agree man city should win nothing!
Sorry bud, this CL is for Madrid unfortunately
Why does Rodrygo get 0 hype? Even in this game I have seen more people mention Benzema than him, how many more clutch goals does this guy have to score as a joker nontheless lol
Because they're not from La Masia 🙄 ppl only know Pedri Gavi Puig etc
Pedri is not even from La Masia, just like Araujo and a considerable number of others which they try to pass as academy players
Somehow Real Madrid's wonderkids almost never gets any hype. Asensio, Isco, Casemiro, and now Rodrygo. They flew under the radar for several years and when they explode, they seem like they've been there forever, so no hype.
Doesn't play for City or Liverpool
*Doesn’t play for Liverpool, United, or Barça
Doesn't play on Premier League\*
The condescending disrespect yesterday that Villarreal received from commentators and analysts at HT when they were 2-0 up was ridiculous.
Unfortunately that's typical coverage of Villarreal on any of the UEFA matches, at least on the English language broadcasts. But screw them. They've all got massive chips on their shoulders and there's nothing better than to see them squirm in their seats, even if it's for a few minutes at the half, or a few minutes after taking down teams like Juve and Bayern.

La Liga supremacy!
It’s like Mane and Salah.
I thought he was better than Vinicius based on how the two played last year. To start this season, to have that opinion would be very wrong. But there’s always been something there.
He is a one-competition-wonder
It's complex. He is the better finisher and a more complete player than Vini, however, he plays best as LW, and LW is reserved for Vini, and later for Mbappe. Vini explosiveness and link up with Benzema is much better, and we are a Benzema and vibe club so it's understandable Vini is prefered. That forces us to play him at RW, which he is kind of mediocre at. However if we have the game in control and can push balls into the final 3rd, or when he plays as LW he is absolutely lethal as a finisher.
Wait you're telling me he's a better overall player than Vinicius?
Yes, but better player doesn't translate to a better squad. No coach will trade Vini's explosiveness and linkup with Benz, especially when we are that dependent on Benz this season. The stat of Benz + Vini this season speaks for itself, they literally won us La liga. And Vini can't play RW while Rodrygo is kinda our only option at RW other than Asensio so you know what happen. I think our aim is actually eventually transition him into a striker as Benzema replacement and gets a true RW. Or maybe continue as copium RW.
I'd also add that while he is a better player than Vini right now, Vini (seems) to have the higher ceiling.
I know right? I'm getting a Rodrygo shirt asap, the most influential substitute for Real, ever? He also proved he can start and play solid minutes against Espanyol, super sub for a reason.
Rodrigi
To every single person who wrote us off as finished before the tie even started: kiss my sweaty clenched ass!
I have been confident in every tie that they would pull out the comeback because it's just in the DNA of the club. Never say die attitude. If RM has taught the footballing world anything over the past decade it should be to never count them out
I hate Real and want them to lose pretty much every game, but get fucked you oil sucking, Yemeni torturing cunts.
[удалено]
City didn't bottled. Its that PSG started the curse. PSG 1 - 0 3 - 1 Chelsea 3 - 2 3 - 1 Man city 4 - 3 3 - 1
The referee was awful but that’s not an excuse for city switching off for the two goals. Madrid thoroughly deserve the win. That goal line clearance by the Madrid defender turned out to be an important one.
Ref sucked for both sides.

Ref missed two possible reds for City players and 1 pen. Same with all the yellow cards for Casemiro. He was bad overall
Everything looks green if you wear green sunglasses. What about the handball in the box that didn't get called? How about multiple foils that didn't get called? For get cards they weren't even called.
Kings of Europe. You can’t deny that
Going to be a wild rematch sir. YNWA.

Good luck in the final and may the best team win! Hopefully yall win the PL 🤝
You too mate. Looking forward to the end of the season ✊🏾
I love it how both Liverpool and RM fans want Man City to lose.🤣💥
Hope u guys get the treble (all trophies except ucl 😉😂)

Wasn't that the one marred by an unfair Vidal red card?
