Real Madrid v Man City wed 1st leg

rm 3.3 at home,im staring at a forest and cant see a tree,i know nozzzzzing

Weird thing is my trade/my view on the game are completely separate. I'm trading City on the basis they're always overbet. They're being hammered now as I said.

IMO Real actually have a better chance without Hazard as it allows them to play an extra man in the middle that being said this Real team isnt the team it use to be. I think a score draw for City would be a good result.

and then theres this...

That would be nice!

I've laid City and backed a red card, hoping I'm wrong on both unless the red is for Real!

City poor at the back. Real to win 2-0

no anytime scorer,wanted to lay sterling

City XI: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Mendy, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Jesus. Subs: Bravo, Sterling, Aguero, Silva, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Foden.

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy, Casemiro, Modric, Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Benzema, Isco. Subs: Areola, Militao, Kroos, Bale, Marcelo, Lucas, Jovic.

I think this will be a good indicator of how good our PL actually is.  Spurs and Chelsea both hammered at home by Bayern, Liverpool beaten by an average Atletico Madrid and not even troubling their keeper.  I think City may struggle tonight.

^ An all English final preceded by Liverpool's reserves beating Barcelona 4-0 wasn't good enough?

Nobody expected Chelsea to get past Bayern, and the 2-7 was a fluke. The PL has the two best teams in the world at the moment, but CL games are often a coin toss. Madrid and Barcelona are fairly tripe at the moment, but CL is very often a coin toss. So tonight'll indicate nothing.

mendy to score - 2 birds with 1 stone (!!)

Top man  Otamendi is starting tonight,.Buy the penalty goal minutes its an absolute banker

throwing it away,cs 2 home,4-0,5-0

battle ahead , pep v madrid once again

over 4 cards and card each both halves at 4s

classy man city side but this is madrids comp , have to go with madrid here tho no bets on it

Don't fancy City here. They're priced too low because punters think they will be be "desperate to win the CL" because of the ban, but are they good enough?

Cant believe i just heard the comm say this

A full house here as usual in Madrid 80,000 people and you can just feel a really special tingle in the air...........

Value is on Madrid IMO

Unders down nearly a whole click, already.

no goals in europe or championship, unders fans will be dining well tonight.

not necessarily , 0-0 at HT can finish 3-3

Love it! come on the 0-0's

hasnt even been a corner, im going back to corras

pep moaning about a blatant free kick.

laporte,who fkn knew

Olympique Mayonaisse 1-0

liverpool, chelsea, spurs, and city 4 matches in the last 16  and none to score , best league in the world

Even the 50 year-old Benzema is fitter than these City players.

Who's on top?

real madrid are 14.5 to win the champions league, might as well be double that price, got zero chance of winning it, will be lucky to get anything

Madrid fell apart, there.

Well done City. U played well tonite.

Glad at least one PL team looks like they will be making the quarter finals. If Liverpool don't get through, I hope City go on and win it.

We Man City.  KDB motm for me

rm by name only imo

the better team won, well played mcfc.

Yea, they were the better team, but Real poor.

ramos a bigger piece of cheating scum than maradona

still dont fancy city in the outright, now 3.8

Surprised Juventus didn't score. Says my pocket.

backed 1-1 with free65 bet. b@stardz.

What a cracking result70 points up on the penalty minutes- Real  were rubbish-City in the last 8 only 2 teams to worry about being Bayern and Liverpool if they manage to get past Athletico.

Denied two stonewall penos. Var really is a joke.

"Manchester City are set to carry out a post game recovery session this morning at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano before returning to Manchester later today."

Does Pep know something

So what is your view now as RM were utter sheet, lucky to get a goal and my big toe nail has more creativity than they showed last night? City didn't play that spectacularly well but still looked better in every department.

i dont like ramos, he's done some horrendous things on the pitch, but i actually think taking a red last night was the correct decision, ok jesus still had the keeper to beat but, at 1-2 real have a slim chance of qualifying 9.4, at 1-3 the odds would be 20+

Was always going to be the home leg for city that would be the problem Imo

its a pity liverpool didnt draw them madrid as it would have been one of the bets of the season last night, klopp wouldnt have fckd about with the team and tactics he'd just said do your usual stuff and exposed them

Really impressed with the ref.   He is no homer that is for sure.    I can name lots of EPL refs that would have bottled the big 3 decisions.  We need refs of that calibre in the prem.

Thought Ramos was minimal contact, certainly not enough to make Jesus fall over but it impeded him and was a foul. Jesus played it well and was a red for the deliberate nature of it. Ramos can have no complaints (and didn't).

Sterling's was a clear dive. He was on his way down well before contact was made. Pushed his right foot into the ground and fell onto the defender's legs. He saw the tackle coming but didn't need to do that. It would have been a foul if he'd stayed up. Would prefer to see no pen and a booking for that. They will never stamp out diving if they let things like that go on VAR reviews. Same with that pen Napoli got against Liverpool, forward dives into the defender and easy enough to see on the video. https://twitter.com/IStewdog/status/1232802167058243586?s=20

Also a lot of people saying if Ramos was a foul then Jesus' was too for the first goal. Both minimal contact but not as simple as that imo as they were different incidents but a good point all the same. Ramos' was definitely a foul, Jesus not as clear but could easily have gone the other way and I expected the VAR guys to rule it out with Real at home. No issue with it either way for me really.
