There is the other side of the story too where professionals like Pogba, Dembele, Alba, Maguire, Delli Ali etc have taken advantage of the extra protection offered by the club to ruin it.

As a Chelsea fan watching the game, I'm just in awe of Real Madrid because they are not a great side, I feel like you put them in a 38 game season with Man City and Liverpool and they finish 3rd by a distance, they're probably on the same level as Chelsea, maybe not even that because of how over reliant they are on Vini and Benzema and how much Chelsea outplayed them for 3 halves of football. But here they are in Manchester, outplayed for the entire game, could've conceded 6 or 7 goals but just needed 2 moments of magic to keep themselves in the tie, it's truly incredible how they defy football tactics. It makes me love the game more because you can just take your tactics and shove them where the sun doesn't shine if you've got players up top that can produce like Vinicius and Benzema. The guys in the studio are criticizing Laporte for the Vini goal but I remember in the Chelsea games, Benzema got 2 goals because one of the CBs got pulled over to Vinicius in pretty much the same area and he crosses the ball into the box for Benzema to finish, so can you blame Laporte for over committing, part of him might've expected for Ederson to deal with the shot but Vinicius is playing with so much confidence right now that you probably shouldn't take that risk. What a lovely game it was, I got no reason to criticize any of these teams. Clearly Real Madrid are not the best team in Europe but they got as good a chance as anyone right now to win the champions league.

The entire back line was horrendous. Militao and nacho kept falling out of position. Mendy could not mark anyone to save his life. And Carvajal was so high up the field by the time he dropped back City had already scored. Score line should’ve been 6-0. But that’s why Madrid are so dangerous. Just when you think the threat is over, they turn around and bite you. They are so quick in the counter, and both benzema and Vini are ice cold in front of goal. The second leg is going to be a great matchup. If Casemiro and Alaba are able to play I think City will have their hands full.

Bro did you see the game or not alaba was playing not nacho

Real Madrid is staying in 3 players in this moment: Modric, Vinicius and the fantastic Benzema. On the other side, City is having a fantastic midfield line where De Bruyne is shining, probably the best box to box midfielder in the world, but the defence was poor on both sides.

Curtois had a very unlucky match. Sure, nothing he can do to save any of that goals, but he usually pulls at least one impossible save per match. Also Valverde was a beast, he had the energy to keep up with the intensity of city’s midfield. Real Madrid had a very shaky defence, Alaba was playing very poorly.

@@NomaHirudo Probably he could have save Bernardo goal, it was on his side, but he couldn't see it I believe.

I think in the end it will be pure English final Man city vs Liverpool

Which will be boring. Madrid will spice things against Liverpool

Being 4-2 down in a UCL semi-final against probably the team with the best squad and one of the best managers that existed and scoring a panenka penalty with cold blood? I think someone just won his ballon d’or
