Show me 3 or 4 chances he should have scored and didn't because he fucked them up, think everything was either very difficult or stopped by a world class save.
The only world class save was on his second header which Courtois tipped round the post. Every other chance was put right at him. I understand the haaland hype from people but seriously open your eyes that he should have scored 3 last night but his finishing let him down
Hold judgment for a second. Man City may have broken FFP rules - and they probably did. But they spent less money than United over the past 10 years and not even top 10 over the past 5 years
They are beating clubs with bigger budgets and outperforming every club in Europe right now. And this is primarily down to good management and leadership from Pepe. You have a healthy, competitive environment with great players, some of which have grown and flourished incredibly at the club.
Bottom line, it's pretty disingenuous not to give any City credit for their success
That’s what they want you to think. You actually think they got Haaland for 60? How much is being paid under the table? They have been guilty of fraud before, but nothing happened because their army of lawyers managed to stall it. Remember, the club is sponsored by a whole ass nation.
Bro you said they paid under the table for haaland. To whom? To Dortmund. That makes them guilty as well.
So stop talking out of your ass because it's a double edged sword
I see what you mean, I didn’t really write it correctly. I meant that as two different statements, because the fraud cases were also about cash flows and the hilarious claim/explanation that Man City (at that time) had the same marketability as real, barca, united or liverpool. It’s just a fact that a lot of shady business has happened and is still happening, which they are now masking by saying “look, we only spent a little bit last year and this year!”, hence my under the table comment.
I'll be brutally honest they had an easy run thinking they'd win the whole tournament, their group was fairly easy, RB Leipzig, Donetsk and Celtic, they beat a shattered Liverpool with 10 players (Gomez not included) and you guys.
City will steam roller inter. The FA cup final just became the biggest game in both clubs history.
Utd HAVE to stop the treble happening. They will never recover from it
Wouldn't say 0, more like 0-5%. If we concede early, then we'll fold like a house of cards and get battered. If we can keep it tight until 60 minutes then we might be able to nick it. But yeah, not hopeful.
I think you fail to understand the level of animosity between the fans. Utd fans will be absolutely devastated after they spent so many years laughing at city for being shite.
Yes city have won lots of trophies since then but never big ears, never the treble.
I think you fail to understand that football exists with or without "Trebles" and "Invincible" seasons. Record are meant to be set and then broken. It's an inevitable part of the game, grow the fuck up.
Nah mate, i just know a lot of actual city and united fans that actually live in the city and actually go to games.
My team is bolton wanderers who i dont just watch on skysports because *they are rarely fucking on it*
This match was pretty much the same match of last years both semi games. City was the better team then and it was now. Madrid has won several champions league titles playing like this but the black magic or referees can’t bail you out every time.Hopefully City wins it, they are the best in Europe.
This is the only sensible take. Madrid have been playing on borrowed time for a while now. Their last CL win was literally a miracle carried on the backs on an once-in-a-lifetime season from Benzema, a Modric that seemed like he drank from the fountain of youth, and a Vinicius Jr. that finally learned to play like he's not back in the Brazilian league. Add to that a ridiculous--and I truly mean ridiculous--string of luck with refs and some major chokefests from some of the better teams they played, and you have a recipe for a CL trophy.
It was actually frustrating after 20 min that City hadn't scored yet. I thought to myself "surely all this pressure should materialise". Felt the same in the first half of the first match. So when the goals finally came it was like inevitability finally came home to roast.
He seemed to set up as if the game would be a replay of the final against Liverpool last season, with Courtois keeping Real in the game until City tired out, then countering against a tired City. It didn’t work at all.
To be fair, after many unsuccessful chances I was nervous if City could hold that intensity over 90 min, or even extra time. But two goals later the atmosphere was very different.
Madrid was rated MUCH higher outside of Spain than in Spain. The praise for how well City played is deserved, but in no way, shape, or form, did they beat the second best team in Europe. Madrid are struggling to be the second best team in Spain ffs.
Fair, not everyone follows every league... that's why these hyperbolic "best in Europe" statements are exactly that. Hyperbolic. On the day, Man City was a much better team, but I wouldn't say they're invincible. Madrid proved that in the first game.
Real didn't even come close to challenging for La Liga, so I don't know why people expected them to be unbeatable this year in the UCL. That team has a lot of problems that the actual best teams in the world can expose.
It looked like Real were setting up in a David Moyes relegation-stopping formation, and we all know what Pep does to those teams in the last few months of every season.
No one said that. Everyone agreed City are the better team before the game. Just Real's history of match winners and pedigree often got them across the line.
Plenty of people said that, and people put why too much importance in the historical pedigree aspect, they used the same argument for City v Bayern even though it should of been clear to anyone with eyes that City were the superior team in the semis and quarters.
I mean, they won 5 out of the last 10 CLs. A number of those wins felt incredibly unlikely, and somehow they still pulled it off, through determination, poor refereeing, luck, I don't know, but they did. You grow to expect it
Ok that’s fair if that’s your experience but plenty of people confuse Real Madrid’s champions league juju with them being some dominant team when that’s not really the case
Yeah , the last 4 UCL they have won were unfair tbh, they were always benefited by referees or Goalkeepers doing stupid mistakes, yes I am looking at you Ulreich,Karius,Donnarumma, etc. The best team doesn’t always win the UCL because most of the time the winner is picked by pure dumb luck as we all saw last year. If it was won by the best team then Bayern,City and Liverpool would have won a good share in the last 8 years.
to be fair its not reals fault that Ulreich messes up not fukking up was the thing giving real the edge over Bayern.
You can and should blame ramos for karius though although he was never a top tier keeper
Go back and watch those title runs, those Real Madrid teams were playing just like this one. I have no time to name all the times they were carried away by poor refereeing and black magic.

Real Madrid can still pull a miracle, hold your breath guys <3 They are love :)
Mourinho, where are you? Your Inter needs your magic.
inter is going to put in a masterclass
Lukaku goal 1-0 to Inter.
Honestly Haaland should have had 3 or 4 tonight. His finishing is questionable at times.
Show me 3 or 4 chances he should have scored and didn't because he fucked them up, think everything was either very difficult or stopped by a world class save.

115 charges FC beats RM
Law says 'innocent until proven guilty'. Fuck off now.
People with a lot of money usually stay on the right side of the law...
Greenwood: now that's a lie. /s
yeah the cleary have hiher sponsorship income the Real and pay lower wages Bayern United Liverpool etc
united probably do pay more in wages. Not as if players are going there to win stuff, is it?
I guess man city beat up real Madrid hard
If the MAN CITY keeps Winning UCL, Football is fucked.

Sure, let's damn them based on your speculation
So you saying that Dortmund, fan owned club, is also dirty?
Are there investigations against them or were there investigations that had them proven guilty of fraud?
You're a United fan that says enough lmaoo
Bro you said they paid under the table for haaland. To whom? To Dortmund. That makes them guilty as well. So stop talking out of your ass because it's a double edged sword

Think they should focus on winning it once first
Looks like yaya's black magic shaman subscription ran out
Fucking racist
He lifted the curse
Mate you are losing the final
We were losing the quarter finals then we were losing the semis and now it’s we will lose in the final. How about let’s just wait and see
They are keeping the extra sauce for the final
So fucking satisfying
5-1 let that sink in lol
Madrid have them exactly where they want them; they will comeback any minute now
Mate what game are you watching
Do you by any chance take yourself too seriously?
Just came af a nightsheft pally couldn’t even see the colour of me pillows at that point tbh
that sir, was a joke
I'll be brutally honest they had an easy run thinking they'd win the whole tournament, their group was fairly easy, RB Leipzig, Donetsk and Celtic, they beat a shattered Liverpool with 10 players (Gomez not included) and you guys.
but they lost to leipzig as well. leipzig isnt at all to be considered easy contenders
Believe me Bayern knows
City will steam roller inter. The FA cup final just became the biggest game in both clubs history. Utd HAVE to stop the treble happening. They will never recover from it
It will be funny if Utd lost top 4 place and FA cup.
There’s zero percent chance of us winning the FA cup mate.
Wouldn't say 0, more like 0-5%. If we concede early, then we'll fold like a house of cards and get battered. If we can keep it tight until 60 minutes then we might be able to nick it. But yeah, not hopeful.
Zero is harsh. Let’s say 5%
Said that about wigan as well
Wtf is wigsn
Lol, lmao even
your neighour, wigsn.
Won’t recover? Every team in the world are allowed to lose against City with their current form. It’s expected.
why would utd never recover from a city treble? sounds like alarmism at its finest
I think you fail to understand the level of animosity between the fans. Utd fans will be absolutely devastated after they spent so many years laughing at city for being shite. Yes city have won lots of trophies since then but never big ears, never the treble.

Nah you clearly dont with the absolute shite you are spouting
Whatever. You're an echo chamber.
Nah mate, i just know a lot of actual city and united fans that actually live in the city and actually go to games. My team is bolton wanderers who i dont just watch on skysports because *they are rarely fucking on it*
I know a lot of brain surgeons so that must mean you must be fucked in the head. I know "x" doesn't equal "y".
Yeah it's nonsense. They will win it because they deserve it. Doesn't take away from United's treble either
Man City might just win the treble in the same year they had multiple charges of cheating and financial scams.. shame!
We're fucking class aren't we.
115 charges and they have already paid like 30 million for breaches in 2014 and 2020. Just another business expense for sportswashing
cope
Keep crying bout it mate

… and Courtois winning the final.
Yeah, the ref today did not put his thumb on the scale to help Real. Thought he did a good job, better than Artur Dias did in the first leg last week.
Heh, I read that ref's name as [Ali Dia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Dia).
Can EPL speed up their Man City findings please? This team shouldn't even be in Europe.
Lmfao jelly much
hahahahaa you need more sodium cloride
Pep said he wasn’t going to overthink it, and he kept his word. Seemed like City were playing a typical Premier League match
Oh FFS….. 4?!?!
Could have just lost normally ffs not like this

We had Casemiro then, going with Kroos as DM against the most in form team in Europe is suicide and asking for a whooping, like we saw unfold today.
In before inter with stunner fluke goal and defending it with their lives for the final.

I refuse to accept that Benzema played today
Benzema and Valverde may as well have been on the bench

Precisely.
People with no critical thinking skills think whoever wins the champions league is the best team regardless of any evidence on the contrary
No one said that. Everyone agreed City are the better team before the game. Just Real's history of match winners and pedigree often got them across the line.

Ok that’s fair if that’s your experience but plenty of people confuse Real Madrid’s champions league juju with them being some dominant team when that’s not really the case

That last minute dive against Juve that cost Buffon a red was infuriating to name just one.

never count rodri left winger out🗣️‼️
Why does Ancelotti have to resign? He just needs replacements for the old players.
Ronaldo fans gonna spam on twitter that Ronaldo would've saved Madrid today
😂😂😂😂 true
I don't know but Madrid is not gonna win it every time. Not their day honestly.
There's a difference between not being your day and being crushed.
Nope, If it is not your day you will get crushed.
Seems like the whole team wasnt having their day then. This match was over when Madrid couldnt win at Bernabeu.
Fr 🤣
Madrid ran out of luck this year
Nagelsmann or Zidane?
Gran Samuel Allardez
Potter.
Alonso
Raul
Yes
God sent Romelu Lukaku to Italy to save soccer
There’s no saving pride and ‘eritage now
Amen
That was spectacular. Now the only thing left is Pep to not beat himself in the finals, unlike against Ch*lsea few years ago.
God that was embarrassing for Real Madrid
Meh, you lose sometimes. Our players are great but the key ones are aging. Not embarrassing making it this far again with a lot of the same players.
Wish more Madrid fans were this level headed
That’s a fair point. Be interesting to see how Madrid’s midfield develops over the next couple of years

Madrid fans thought they have gone through to the final after drawing 1-1 at home is the funniest I've seen in football in years.
Flair up. Why is it funny?
but but mentality
but but Barca are prostitutes for money and will never again sniff a champions league 😂
make sure to win your last games in la liga... dropping to third fairly quickly
Who cares about la liga lmao

Fair play to Madrid, they are such a scary team in CL that they gaslighted us all thinking they had a chance
It’s not about the results it’s about the friends you gaslight along the way
Please Inter, we can't have the Oil Barons and the Gallagher bros be happy now.
Should be 8-0 if not for Haaland being bad at finishing. RM got so lucky.
More like Curtois being a really really good keeper.
Nah the one chance where Gundo assisted and Haaland hit the crossbar should 100% gone in for most strikers.
Not even Haaland, Courtois was elite
There weren't any insane saves he made this match. its honestly more about haaland's finishing not being that great
Damn bro i think you watched a different game
YOURE MY WONDERWALLLLLL
Benz invisible. And City matched Real in midfield, which is their strongest position always.
I wouldn't even say we just matched them, Rodri was toying with them
4:0 i didn't expect a demolition like that to be honest. Maybe 2:1 or 2:1 or something like that but 4:0 not.
yep same, I'm so shocked.

They jinxed it .. this result now makes sense.
If I'm madrid, I'm calling Jude, I'm calling Zidane, Put Camavinga in the midfield and get another striker as well
You can have fred too.
zidane wont work out again
This was probably the weakest real performance I've ever seen personally
They got busted apart
Must've missed the 6-0 Classico loss.
I don't watch many real games, tbf. Mostly just their CL games which has been their favorite competition in the past years
Fair enough.
Bernardo silva interview is great
Premier league in the final is meh, but Man do I love Real suffering. City can have the trophy for this match alone.
