0-0 is the best we can hope for.

I don't see us scoring with how shit we've been playing today (specially Bale).

 

[Beefy]

Jese on for Benzema.

 

[Beefy]

No one is moving at all for City.

 

[Elchele]

this game

:lol

 

[Rainy]

this game

me right now

 

[Jack cw]

Benzema and Ronaldo injured?
Damn.

 

[KingSnake]

Maybe Zizou needs to change his coat.

 

[moojito]

I wonder how Leicester will do against Real, Juve and the like.

based on this they're going to walk the CL next year

 

[la_briola]

fat (and best) ronaldo sighted!

 

[moojito]

I bet if Zidane and fat Ronaldo came on for the last quarter of an hour they'd get at least a couple.

They are not defending well enough so they wouldn't make it in the first team.

 

[Infernostew]

Almost 70 mins in and this has been one of the most boring matches I've watched this year. Hell, I'm saying this and I've been watching United all year.

 

[sora87]

Expected City to turn up here, really go for it and then try not to do a wolfsburg in the second leg.

 

[Beefy]

City look like they could lose this. Dropping off far too much.

 

[Infernostew]

At least Madrid are trying somewhat now.

 

[Elchele]

me right now

I actually felt asleep with the food in the oven. what a fucking mess

 

[Business]

What a poor semi final.

 

[Empty]

louis van gaal sits perched on the edge of his sofa shaking, eyes glued to the tv "this is football at its very peak, this is what i've been trying to achieve for years" he screams to his sleeping wife

 

[moojito]

I reckon City would have wanted at least two to take over there to feel reasonably confident of getting through.

 

[panty]

Nice save by Hart.

We are lacking leadership = Ronaldo.

it's funny because I want to die

can't Ronaldo just come on for a bit? it's not like being injured is going to hold him back in this game

 

[KingSnake]

Random football happening now.

 

[panty]

So damn unlucky.

 

[KingSnake]

We are lacking balls

FTFY.

 

[D4Danger]

all those City fans remembering why they don't normally go to games

 

[panty]

FTFY.

No?

City are playing well and we are playing with Vazquez and Jese, without Ronaldo or Benzema. Bale has been okay but we cant finish our attacks = missing Ronaldo.

 

[Cormano]

No Ronaldo no party.

 

[KingSnake]

No?

City are playing well and we are playing with Vazquez and Jese, without Ronaldo or Benzema. Bale has been okay but we cant finish out Actavis = missing Ronaldo.

Yes. Coaching balls. Understandably so, though.

And City are playing well? Lol.

 

[panty]

Yes. Coaching ball. Understandably so, though.

Playing well as in not letting us score or is the City hate that strong now.

Geez

 

[KingSnake]

Geez

WTF are you on? I don't hate City. Both teams played to not receive goals. Nobody tried too much to actually score. Horrible game.

 

[D4Danger]

what a dreadful game of football

 

[Matush]

Christ that was abysmal.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Well.. At least Atletico vs Bayern should be good.

 

[Infernostew]

Awful match. I hope Ronaldo puts 4 on City on the return leg.

 

[sora87]

Gary gonna be struggling for anything to talk about until half 10

 

[Cappa]

Leaving James and Isco on the bench for 90 minutes is maddening.

Christ.

It's like ancelloti all over again. Make a goddamn sub, you have 3.

Oh sure we didnt try to score. Whatever, go with that.

 

[Cormano]

As a Madrid supporter, this was painful to watch.

 

[moojito]

Welp, that's me 90 minutes closer to death. Thanks City.

 

[KingSnake]

Oh sure we didnt try to score. Whatever, go with that.

As individual attempts and random chances, yes. As a team, definitely no.

 

[miserable]

As a Madrid supporter, this was painful to watch.

not as painful as the Wolfsburg 1st leg!

 

[KingSnake]

Leaving James and Isco on the bench for 90 minutes is maddening.

Christ.

Zizou is obviously very happy with this style of football. Some good individual skills and Ronaldo feel for goal is usually spoiling his party.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Dreadful match.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

One of the most boring games I've ever watched, and I'm a supporter of Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town.

 

[Milchmonster]

Dreadful game but good result for Madrid. City should have done more, the match in Madrid will be extremely tough for them.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Ughhhh that was boring. Neither team played bad, both teams were wasteful but City were incredibly wasteful towards the end but it was way way too cagey. To be cagey was expected ,like every single semi-finals has ever been but that was excessive. Seemed like the same gameplans in a negative fashion cancelling each other out.

Overall a good result for City, prevented Real from getting an away goal and not going into an away game down or at a technical disadvantage. Especially if its against a full strength Real.

My personal gripe was looking forward at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half Inheacho was in pretty much open space screaming for the ball, the kid has a better goal per min than Suarez just fucking give him a pop. He also created some of the best potential chances for City which amounted to nothing and Real noticed his threat quicker than City players noticed his potential. Could have done with Toure coming on towards the and deliver some good balls.

Is James fit? ESPN FC guys mentioned the other day after the Rayo game that Zizou complained he was out of shape.

 

[Gothos]

So, another boring game in the 1st leg of the cup phase? Color me surprised It's been like that for a few seasons now - teams are just too scared to lose the series in the first game resulting in snorefest. As usual, real football begins in 2nd leg when someone actually has to win it, lol.

 

[Timbuktu]

Still need criminal charges to be made. This is a big step though, the years of lies are unforgiveable.
