Man Utd wont content for a league in the next few years. I actually think Chelsea will come good before them.

A high point in the tournaments history. I really hope my beloved Madrid go on and win it

It’s a style he’s committed to. Havertz has proven a decent signing imo.

Haaland has proven pretty innocuous in big games against well setup sides too.

It seems a popular tactic now to play a system where an out & out CF isn’t a key piece of the jigsaw.

Big failing for Arsenal tonight was playing constantly to play around or through Munich as opposed to ever testing them with direct ball over top.

It was comfortable for Munich bar the Martinelli chance but if that went in then they have to attack more and Arsenal find more space so who knows.

As I said, inexperience showed everywhere.

Odegaard was marshalled out of it, Saka ineffective. Martinelli exposed badly for the goal….

Disappointing night but bigger picture is better than 3 years ago without question.

Real beat city, and all lads can think is United?

Hated, adored, but never ignored.

A privilege to witness his final Champions League appearance for Dortmund in the flesh.

The worst Chelsea team in 20 years will pass Man Utd out in a few weeks. Hard to believe.

Good first 20 minutes tonight but not a factor over the 2 games.

The worst man united team in 30 years will be passed out by Chelsea. Easy to believe

If he had a good 20 minutes and scored a penalty then he was a factor. He’s good at interviews too

I mean where do you even start with this?

What’s wrong with that?

Liverpool in 2005 certainly weren’t the best team in Europe.

Man Utd in 99 weren’t.

Porto 03

Inter in 2010

Liverpool 2005 weren’t even the best team in Liverpool that season. Let alone Europe.

So Carra is bang on

Rodri claims he “saw only one team” trying to win as he bemoaned Real Madrid’s tactics following Manchester City’s heartbreaking Champions League quarter-final loss.

City’s European title defence ended in agonising fashion at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday as the Spanish giants prevailed 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on the night meant the tie ended 4-4 on aggregate.

It was a clash the holders completely dominated, racking up 33 attempts on goal to the visitors’ eight, but Real defended deep to frustrate them and ultimately ended their hopes of a second successive treble.

City midfielder Rodri said: "To be honest, I saw only one team. In terms of defending, they defended (well). They knew how to suffer and we know how tough Real Madrid are.

"But in my opinion we should go through with that amount of chances but this is the trick of this competition. They know how to play it. We congratulate them.

Being unaccustomed to losing as he has become, can be a good and bad thing. See Brian Fenton.
