Yeah some guys gives Pep the fault when his players miss chances
Yesterday Pep played with no surprises and it worked. That Real scored 3 goals is just bad luck.

Amazing what 2 games can do for your reputation...
He'll probably be isolated uptop today
Sorry bro, that's a hot L for you

Huh?
He was isolated uptop for large portions of the game and deserved a lot more support. Overall Madrid didn't play well enough.
Took his goal very well. That finish was typical Robin Van Persie style.

I'm confused as to what I should want here.
City are a better team than Real Madrid and are hungry for their First CL.
Madrid are Madrid and have a special kind of legacy of winning finals in this competition.
Genuinely don't know what's better for Liverpool.
I'm inclined towards facing Madrid because of the 2018 revenge and on our day we can just outplay them in all departments but then they rise up to the occasion.
Hope this Madrid game leads City to drop points in the league for once.

Real would be easier i think, ofc Real has the experience on their side but it would Liverpool's third final in 5 years so they should be confident too. City was horrible last ucl final but im sure this time Pep's team would play completely different, with the beast Kdb!

City is way more likely to choke the final I think. They have choked in CL for years and then it becomes your nature and you end up like Barca. Just failing miserably every time.
As a Barca fan, I wish I could remove my memory of European games since 2016 CL season. It's been terrible.

And there's the dilemma. The 2 differing opinions of my fellow posters Fati and Finny is exactly what's going through my mind.
Really can't pick one. Hope we just get the better of whoever we face.

Yes. City defenders are bad under pressure and with possessed Benzema and lightning fast Vinicius going at them all is possible. If Benz has a normal night you are done though.
Walker will be back, so Vinicius won't be getting those situations to run at the defense like he did yesterday.
I guess anything is possible if Benzema keeps converting literal half-chances though, but we do need a better defensive display in the return-leg, City are very good but sometimes we made it a bit easy for them to create.

Yes, both teams were bad in defense which made the game entertaining.
You also need a better output from Courtois.

Villarato!
Vini didnt even get that many chances bar the dummy, can think of maybe 2 and they didn't really end in a good shot
Walker is definitely an improvement over the corpse of Fernandinho, but he used to get done by Vini in 2020 already too
Cancelo at LB is a bigger difference maker IMO, should give City a huge boost on the left. Not that Zinchenko didnt play well, because he did
But this is all too rational for RM games.
Normally this season all it takes is one ref flub, a VAR call or something else to unnerve the opponent and everyone at RM gets a boost while the other team chokes like champs
In the end could easily see RM in final on the back of current run of games, injuries, form, mental state and intangibles. Not playing well, but it's how cookie crumbles
