well it was never going to be a classic was it, after a 0-0 draw at the etihad, City had to try and score, not just spectate. Only had City scored first, would it have been a decent game.

Its done

Must be one of the most embarrassing performances in a european semi final for many a year.

At least England was spared the English commentators screaming on and on like Violet Elizabeth Bott.

djokovic there

tap tap doom

Great effort city

But they didn't try and score

Better to give it a go and lose than to not turn up that was poor

City just not good enough

gotta be the most spineless performance in a semi final ever... all that grief getting to this stage, what was the fekking point?

sets up a cracking final

the final will be another load of diving cheating etc.......sickening to watch

Dire.

Right team went through over 180 minutes, however is was dour.

SHOITT game,city pishhhhh poor,gave nothing....

I agree, but they must have been scared of getting thrashed, which they might as well have done.

and resting players in league games for this was it worth it ?

after that wouldnt every footie fan in england hope city lose out on top 4,that was foooking shocking,and as big ron would say they just aint got it,

It wont be a good final, it will be a Real madrid constantly trying to prod and probe a brick wall, an Atletico player once every 10 minutes will hoof it up the pitch towards Griezmann before it comes back again.

don't worry boys
next year's final should be a lot better
Leicester vs Spurs

Paid a load of nicker to look like complete plums

City needed that goal at the COMS after all .


look forward to the final 

should have had an all inclusive in BENIDORM BOYS

err I very much doubt it, as there are only 4 teams that are likely to get into it, 3 Spanish teams and Bayern. La Liga still miles ahead of our useless Premier League.

ZERO SHOTS ON TARGET

zero attempts on target...not really what you would expect from a multi million pound team paying 193 million quid  in wages

madrid derby is ...

Pathetic effort over 2 legs.

Madrid dominated without having to play well. City were lucky with the draws they got to get to the semis.

not even one 5 min spell when city had a go,what is the fckn point?

at least Leicester would have had some shots at goal.

Obviously. In reality they are nowhere near the top 4 sides in Europe.

NO TIMES

Not sure why Real are clear favourites. One win in ten vs Atletico, with only five goals scored. Coin-toss, at best.

To be fair to City have had some pretty horrible draws until this season.

final will be 2 teams diving non stop - will depend on the ref who wins

leicester can make the quarter final or semi final with a favourable draw. betfred were offering 100/1.

Yaya so 2013
KDB will probably start to look good again when they play Sunderland.

They are nowhere near the top four sides in Spain either

Why the oil rig did not give it a go I don't know , might as well have lost 2 or 3

you can currently back Atleti at 2.3 o/r or Real at 1.76 ..free monies?

i think the occasion got over them

100/1 is terrible in reality, albeit I expect that roughly to be their price.

I blame the managers, if you looked at the benches last night both simeone and pep were on top of their players the whole night telling them to keep going.

tonight you had zidane and pellegrini standing about with their hands in their pockets looking at ipads

LMAO JOE HART SEETHING

Lol at Joe Hart complaining here really. I don't see how Man City can have anything to complain about.

"THEY CREATED VERY LITTLE" UR TEEAM HAD 2 SHOTS ON TRGET IN OVER 3 HOURS JOE U FECKING TRT

hart thinks they were unlucky 189 mins not quite enough for a shot on target

skybet paying out on bale fgs aswell  

just need hills to follow suit but theyre usually pretty inflexible

nonsense there from hart

Bookies have already been whacked by Leicester, they won't risk a re-occurance, as unlikely as it is to happen

I think he is being diplomatic on camera, I bet he is fekking fuming with some of his team mates...they were useless

Those poor city fans who made the trip to watch that shocking effort. Should have stayed at home and played oasis records backwards, would have had so much more fun.

Ive seen matches between two village teams more entertaining and more like real playoff match.

Yer but Leicester are being offered @ 40/1 to win the Premier League. So they have to me minimum 100/1 for Champions League just off that, and really much higher. They're probably more like 250/1 shots.

To be fair, I think most of the Man City players couldnt give a fcuk about tonight, pure mercenaries

JOHNNY IS THE MESSIAH

they'd be 80 to win La Liga  ,so must be  150/1 at least what with Bayern ,Juve , PSG  and all the usual suspects

Go forward a year with Pep in charge you would never see such a gutless performance from City 1.01.
The only way is up for them btw wtf is the MOVER

leicester will do well to get out of the group. virtually everyone in pots 2 and 3 will superior to them and a lot of teams by a large margin

They will be artificially low to win it because of their story though. I expect around 100/1. Should be around 250/1 probably.

Lots of teams in the Premiership were meant to be superior to them too, they were favourites for Relegation.

But they still won the league over Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool amongst over so called bigger clubs.

Not sure how people can say who is superior to who anyway before seeing who they are going to buy, and who the other clubs are going sell, and vice versa.

I can see their counter attacking style working in Europa, not the typical English gung-hop approach, they have a manager who understands tactics.

Be nice if Leicester were to show the English Clubs are it should be done in Europe, but they have peaked this season and next season are unlikely to be able to do it all over again, but it would make another fantastic story

Leicester would piss all over Atletico Madrid.

Main worry for Leicester in Europe is being stuffed 2-5 at home by Arsenal who are probably the most European in style in PL

Lack of squad is a huge problem straight off the bat for Leicester.

The only way Leicester would score against Atletico is via the practice goalposts before the game

Given the English sides in general struggle to get out of their groups these days, I would guess Leicester are odds against to even get out of the average group they could get.

Atletico Madrid are a rubbish defensive team who are reliant on Griezmann for goals. You can't be a top European side with Fernando Torres in your team.

Leicester will add to their squad and get through the group stages of the CL i'm confident they will.

Athletic Madrid I think are the hardest side in Europe to beat, but I do hope that Leicster do well in the competition, I have my doubts obviously. I honestly don't think he will buy, too many players, because Leicester will not pay players the joke money, that the big and not so good players want and will continue with this squad and maybe 2, perhaps 3 others.

if leicester can keep their players I can see them upsetting a few teams in the CL with their fast attacking breaks.

the EPL teams couldn't deal with it this season and the other CL teams won't be used to it either when leicester charge quickly up the field.

City were never at the races. Ronaldo wasn't fit.

Unless Liverpool can win tonight the likelihood is that all 4 finalists will be Spanish and the Champions League is going to be won by a Spanish team for the 3rd consecutive year.

City's team is full of players they paid 20 million and upwards for and they were very poor.

City very dis-appointing against a Real team that over both  games looked no more than average,last night Ronnie/Bale never in the hunt Velazquez poor/Rodriguez poor,City have little in the way of creativity when the maestro Silva isn,t playing.

Spanish team going to win La Liga this year also.

Please bear with me when murray won the davis cup almost single handed he played 3 matches in 3 days on several occasions and was exhausted at the end of each match. In 2 games did man city die with their boots on 2 shots in 2 matches acc to tsport and nobody left the pitch looking as though they had give their all. Real were very ordinary last night and yet city were happy to keep possession with very little pressure on real.

City have no warriors.

I was amazed that Aguero didn't play.  You'd think that he'd have been one of the first names on the sheet in a fixture of this magnitude.

sick of hearing about lazy fans ,pundits media banging on about this great athletico defense, in certain games they might defend well but not conceding goals isnt an automatic sign of defending well,bayern had 35 attempts at goal,when man utd were at their peak pallister,bruce ,stamp etc they wouldnt concede 30 attempts at goal in a season at old trafford,
maybe the opposition players are getting it drummed into them how good madrid are at the back by their own coaches and trying to make sure aiming for the corners,passing when they should shoot,shooting when they should pass,muller passing the other night with an open goal,panicing rushing at chances expecting challenges that arnt coming,etc

Its a pretty good sign

Real Madrid have kept 10 clean sheets in 12 Champions League games this season. On top of that they are heavy scorers 8-0 v Malmo in the group stage. Atletico Madrid struggle to score goals.

ledonowski could have scored 4, and muller 2 [1 pen ], in the 1st 30 mins the other night no great saves,tackles blocks etc,what would you be saying if they,d put them chances away,thats as well as the goal

Real Madrid have scored five goals in the last 900 minutes against Atletico. Atletico don't need to score many.

we,re not arguing about the goals scored
probably didnt but ronny might have hit the bar 10 times,post 8 times,had 6 disallowed etc in those 900 mins,they were hopeless at the back in munich, but bayern didnt take advantage of their 35 attempts on goal

You're arguing about goals that MIGHT have been scored. They've been hopeless at the back all season. That's why the 'keeper has more clean sheets than goals allowed.

you can have clean sheets with your keeper smoking cigars or your keeper getting motm,the latter means your defense has been shoite

Yes, their defence has been shoite all year and the goalie is MOTM every other game. You've obviously watched them a lot.

ALL I NO is in the 2 games against bayern they wernt good defensively, and lazy journo,s,pundits and fans thinking clean sheets automaticaly means good defending ,does me goat in

vilereal never been in the game tonight but have had 5 good chances does them not scoring mean l,pool have defended well

I don't blame journos, pundits or fans for being lazy when automatically accepting that a side with 34 clean sheets in 54 matches is, in fact, pretty good at defending.
