Very odd tactics. Exposed and vulnerable to the counterattack. Brought on Cherki and Omar too late.

No support in the Midfield too.

Agreed. Nico G was badly needed today. Real Madrid was able to get the ball through the Midfield without any problems. It was very slow to react.

A big response is needed on the weekend, but it won't be easy as WHU is fighting for their lives plus they have Traoré who no doubt will turn into a superhuman performance of his live vs City.

I was actually surprised that Guehi started over a fit Johnny today because it was his first UCL game at Real Madrid.

Going from playing from Cyprus and Irish opponents to Real Madrid is a big step up.

I would argue the same with Seymeno who never played European football before.

Agreed. It's never over once it's over. Let's see what happens next week.

Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are playing tomorrow. I think Nottingham Forest is probably prioritizing PL survival.

Chelsea lost too. So there's that.

Really? I didn't know that.

This is a transition season too. It will take time, but it gets there eventually.

I mean comebacks happened before.

The tactical lineup was all wrong tonight.

Big mountain to climb next week.

The real deal. Apparently they brought in a Norwegian veteran to give talk about mentality over their winter break.

I would start Omar in the 2nd leg.

Just need one now to have a chance.

I'm convinced that City as a whole won't score today.

An 18 year old is playing in defense for Real Madrid due to injuries and City attack was ineffective.

Tijjani will score for City someday.

Jeez. The City defense is a self inflicted car wreck at times. Sloppy at the back.

11.03.2026 21:30 👍 3 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0

He and Rayan A are coming on now. Finally.

11.03.2026 21:28 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Should have done it at HT.

11.03.2026 21:27 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Oh definitely. I'm hoping he gets a yellow today so I don't have to watch him next week.

Plus the pen save was even sweeter now.

Get Omar on for energy.

Whines too much for my taste.

Gigio save! Wow actually a City keeper save a pen.

Pen Real Madrid. All from a City corner.

Horror show.

Cherki for creativity too.

11.03.2026 21:11 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Get Nico G on at Midfield. Nonexistent at times now.

Tijjani is on. Interesting.

I have to say that Valverde's third goal was class. Still annoyed though.

I would get Cherki on at HT for Seymeno or Savio. Maybe Stones for Guehi too.

I think going from Conference League to UCL might be too much for Guehi.

Same with Seymeno who I believe never played in Europe before today.

Changes are needed now at HT if City wants to have some kind of chance.

Need a big reaction in the 2nd half.
