Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

Here we go again Madrid look beatable blah blah,they making it to the semis at a minimum,stop the gas lighting...depending if it's villa or PSG they pretty much winning it,the last few times they won it they always had the harder draw/teams..it's ova

Arsenal can beat them. PSG can beat them. Inter can definitely beat them. I don't think you watch the Italian league. Inter can shyt house anyone into a terrible game..

Happy to see Simeone lose. Mbappe should never let vini take an important penalty again

 

[frush11]

Athleti wasted too many chances in regulation

Arsenal has the talent to beat Real. I don't know why y'all scared....

They can, but to beat Real you need a finisher which we don't have

I've seen more memorable performances in Champions League by Steve McManaman wearing a Real shirt than Bellingham. I'm still waiting for him to play 1 great game when it matters in UCL, having 1 single play that lead to a goal last year against City ain't enough

I was actually surprised they didn't call a penalty on that handball in the first half (which I hate when they call it in those instances, but it's the type of call Real always gets, lol) and then that Alvarez penalty happened

Of the two replays shown, the one from behind the goal seemed he might have touched it with the other foot but there was no definitive look on it. If it comes out the didn't double kick it all hell is gonna break lose

Missed the game

Arsenal brehs how we feeling about next month with them mans

It would’ve been harder to break down Atleti’s defense than it will be to score against Real. Our defense will need the game of their lives over two legs though. Arteta needs to study this game hard to see how to set up shop against them.

Yep. The only problem is when you play against real you play against them and the referee too

 

[Ukbrotha]

Never really seen that in a shootout but I would have just assumed it would be a retake...completely fukked

Its a bad rule tbh but it was the agreed rule sometime ago apparently.

Brotha in footballing ability I agree,but I've seen this movie for the last 10 plus years out of the last 6 they won I would say half of those they looked beatable...u could argue a.madri shoulda beat then in 14,pool in 22, and even Dortmund last year...and let's not talk about the footballing lesson they got from city the last 2 times and yet they have more CLS in the last 15 years than the whole EPL smh

ITS ova until further notice lol

Yeah, the ref is always in their back pocket for sure.

"X team can beat this Real Madrid" has been the narrative for the past decade as breh said.

To me, more than how they look, the big advantage the other teams have this time around is that they are not closing at Bernabeu. That's were the real unreal shyt happens time and time again.

 

[Yayo Toure]

When Austin double touched the ball vs Joe Hart 11 years ago there was so much discourse about WTF is this rule,.why did Man City get away with this.

Now Alvarez, in a VAR world, is deemed to double touch(never seen a touch not move the ball tho) and we just accept it? Lol. Y'all don't know the real evil in football.

Steve was a better player than bellhe didn't have Twitter to hype him up

Bellingham does look alot better to me though compare to last year,that nikka looked lost and like he did not belong

I was sold on some "generational" type player but Bellingham has been overrated to hell. I legit never seen a big game from him at Madrid in a big stage, it's wild.
