Madrid will qualify!

Asianjollof007:


alaye sharap, trying to downplay laliga is really a dumb thing to do. Two spanish team in the semi, same madrid terminated chelsea. One team must qualify, hype english team but saying laliga is underrated na stupid talk.

not overrated but not up to standard of epl in of competition to me.

Jacobx007:

Only 14 times, since it's inception in 1955.
I don't know what you mean by strong EPL side

And others got how many?

And how many teams have won it in each league?

Znation:
I made a vow to credit 2k to 5 person should incase man city wins, but more than 30 person already drop their ac/ number. Who should i credit now?

pls send 2 d first 5 people

Angelfrost:


Nah... These days in UEFA, whoever leads has the advantage.

City will be more relaxed next leg!

Man City lost away to his fierce opponents in UCL this season. 2-0 to PSG and 2-1to lipzeig

Jacobx007:

How many times have the strong EPL sides won the Champions League? All of them put together?
Only 14 times in the entire history of the Champions League/ European cup

This is not the point,infact you are sounding ridiculous right now based on what that guy said.
Maybe you break it down for you,

City is currently a strong EPL side and no amount of fans or whatsoever at Santiago can stop them from kicking this Madrid side out come 2nd leg of this tie

pargelenis:
Congrats to your boys … though I’m concerned for them in the second leg. RM seem to be able to score on them easily and RM are “battle tested” in of comebacks. I think Pep may need a good plan for this second leg - different from today, I don’t know? Your thoughts?

I really don't think we need to do much invention. We wasted loads of chances and still put four past them.

Also, that penalty was just a gift. The rule says if the ball touches a players head, chest or other body part before the hand, it is not a penalty.

So, I think we can see this through by being more possessive and taking the chances we will create.

Cancelo will likely be back too.

fourboys:
no more home advantage bro... Chelsea outplayed and outclassed Madrid at home

its not about out playing or outclassing? Can you score? If yes, how many more? How well can you defend ? That's what football is all about!

You should wonder why Madrid scored 3 goals despite the outclass, few attempts and 3 goals converted, to me, that's class

johndho:


Madrid is a big team, but no underrate pep guadiola.

bro the two managers good,now it's left for the players to finish work,no be say I dey underrate pep,but make we tell our selves the truth in this kain situation madrid dey sabi overcome because dem don face this kain thing taya..if you observe you go notice say even after man city score two,madrid no shake,dey still remained calm..if to say na madrid first score two eh hmmmm.........

Okobola146:
Penalty wey Bruno no fit score na him Benzema dey take do child's play

Same Benzema miss two pk for one match

Omotaday:
If you think Madrid can beat this city at home, you are joking. This is not Psg or Chelsea.

Man city create chances easily, there is no way they won’t score or respond if scored in Madrid.

Madrid will either lose or draw at home

But he lost 2- 0 against PSG

BoomBucks:


Klopp has only one UCL title to his name.

Be completely honest with yourself. Who you rather have as your Manager if you are to choose between Klopp and Mourinho today?

On disrespect, I never did. I respect Mourinho, a lot. I just pointed out that defending, negative tactics in modern football gets you nowhere.

There's a reason why Conte, Allegri and Simeone are yet to win UCL.

Football didn't start today, Mou had been there long before Klopp. Mou tactics might not be the best but it's effective as they come. At 4-2, Pep should know it's time to lock up. I hope it won't come back to haunt him next week.

there is nothing like a gift in football, the rule said the hand shouldn't be above the head, hes meant to jump and not play basket ball, he wasnt lifting, he was flying !

But Man City lost to PSG 2-0 @ paris

I am a Man City fan but I am afraid of Madrid.. The reasons are;
Forward . Though we managed to perform in most matches but the truth is that City don't have FAST.AGGRESSIVE AND DEADLY three forwards (strikersunlike Salah Mane Joto/Firmino of Liverpool. This is more reason Pep keep alternating midfielders to forwards.Have you ever tried and watch Liverpool forwards(strikers) anytime they hold ball , they always cause havoc in 18yard box of any team they are playing with.This gives them edge over other teams. The truth is that Man City need aggressive forwards(strikers) rather than using players in false position. Also Madrid forwards are more fast,aggressive and deadly than City''s own and will surely threaten a weak City defence anytime City lose possession and the forwards grab the ball. Just watch out in today's match..

Midfield: City's midfield is okay and always the engine house of their 433 formation courtesy of KDB and others. Madrid also has good midfielders.The two are 50/50 in this area

Defence: Anybody that tells you that the major challenges City will have in today's match is their defence is right. Walker,Cancelo, will not play and John Stones is likely not to play. Benjamin Mandy that can substitute Walker or Cancelo has been out since the beginning of the season. This has compounded City's already shaky defence in today's match making it easy prey to Benzema. Vinicious Jr and co. No doubt City is unlucky.It will be very difficult for them to survive the bombshell that will be threatening their weak defence in today's match and Madrid knows this and will surely use it against them in taking the lead. Madrid defence is better than the City's .

In all, poor forwards (strikers) and very weak defence will likely be the factors that may work against City' in today's match with Madrid. Though I am a City fan but very scared of what Madrid can do using the above points. The odd no doubt favours Madrid

I said this earlier. Our defence and forward. All Madrid goals is defensive error as a result of shaky weak defence which was more reasons Pep immediately changed John Stones and converted a midfielder Fernandiho to become a false defender, yet it still didn't solve the problem. City missing clear chances as a result of no aggressive forwards(strikers). Goals galore. As it is based on the score line, the odd like i said still favours Madrid.

The more you say it favours Madrid, the more it looks like it favors city.
Second leg will be decided by who scores first. And I'm certainly sure that if city does, this time, they'll play more cautiously and win it.

have u ever seen pep play the 'lock up' style? The only way he plays is to keep the ball away from the opponent. No other style

ken6488:

How is Madrid not good

Won laliga

Won another cup

Reached semi finals

Benzema top scorer

Eliminated chealsea and psg
Explain how they are not good

Prior to the PSG game, did you rate them?
Chelsea nko ?

Why are some of you bereft of quality practical and the senses of realistic happenstance. Madrid aren't so good on field play this season, it's more spectacular that despite all that, they still manage to get result. Barca weren't so good either this season to give them a real fight. That's what I mean, and they don't necessarily have to be on their peak form to carry their league. They are just a special team to give the world the shock and awe factor. That is what I mean, so I laugh at children easily writing them off simply because of their seasoned abysmal field play.

Wordson:
Madrid was just lucky with that penalty.. it should av ended 4 - 2...
City outplayed dem big time...

But for d record, dis city no won know where dem dey ur house or not.. dey will come ur house come flog u again

Na lie. City last outing away atletico gave them out. They' were so shaky in defense and atletico could have scored them. City is not so good at away matches. They hardly score. Dem no score single goal against atletico. So next week game is so risky for them. Pep knows this.

07kjb:


And others got how many?

And how many teams have won it in each league?

ogbeni he’s trying to be mischievous

All the Mancity/Guardolia Hypemen will be terribly Embarassed in the 2nd leg. Real madrid will school mancity like kg children! Pep would learn dat him no be Ancelotti mate!

dammywapes:
not overrated but not up to standard of epl in of competition to me.

I partially agree with you but they are rather underrated not overrated, english league is more competitive though. Laliga teams holds notable UCL records, dem dey try abeg. Your name is damilola ?

fourboys:
Laliga na just overrated league... Dem no sabi anytin, city dey play these fools like osondu fc

Senseless gist. 2 English teams and 2 Spanish teams remaining out of 32, even City wey qualify over Athletico hear am no be small. A league has carried over 10 champions league in 22yrs and you call them overrated?

dead that thought. You should pray Madrid exits the semis rather than enter the finals cos it''ll end in tears

Midemi1:


You are so pretty sis..guess you are a man city fan
