Real Madrid vs. Manchester City - CL Group Stage

Mancini is a great coach but he has one major flaw,its that he doesnt know which tactic to go in with in big games.






.........Except against United.

Yaya Toure

Tevez

Robbie Savage, BBC Radio 5 live

"If you kick Ronaldo off the park, then that Real Madrid team is average."

MU mostly play 4-4-2, or 4-4-1-1...with rooney dropping deep...it's not that hard to figure out lol. I hate it when other teams just press our midfield :[

Terrific game, although not quite as epic as Everton v Newcastle.

We'll see how much City will come to regret that lost opportunity.

Great coach my foot! Mancini is so clueless, he cannot even coach his way out of a paper bag. Way too negative for my liking...

Ashley so humble and respectful

Madrid pretty much should have had that game in their pockets though their finishing was terrible in the first half. Manchester City could have had the game in their pockets as well but Toure missed his chance leaving Marcelo to equalise. Thought after Mou's three attacking changes that Madrid's defense became poor. Also with the amount of pressing they did to City in the first half tired them in the second half allowing City to create chances.
This game really would have gone bad with the press if Madrid had lost it though they haven't and now that boost will give them heads up into La Liga.

it was a hair dryer treatment from me to Podolski, how would someone of Podolsi quality flopped, I didn't say anything like that, or did I...?

Angel Di Maria while grabbing two assists managed to create 10 (yes 10) scoring chances against Man city, on top of that he also grabbed the most touches in the game with 99, the equal most tackles for Madrid with 3, the most crosses in the game with 9, the most accurate long balls with 8, the most through-balls with 4 and the second most passes with 61@87%.

Higuain also created 6 as well.

Hopefully just what we needed

Whoever is blasting Mancini for his tactics absolutely knows f**k all about tactics and strategy.

smh

Was reading through this forum how overrated he's

smh

dí Maria was Man of the Match for me. He was absolutely tireless and without him Madrid would lost the match. On his good day I dare say he is as effective as Messi. How he pressured, went for every ball for 90 minutes, you sometimes wonder if he is human. Marcelo, too, was very good and got his reward by scoring a rare right-foot.

Mancini showed he is too scared to step up. Remember last season against Arsenal? The only match City showed guts last season was the match against United. So much money gone to waste. And both teams' bench was absolutely sick. Dzeko, Zabaleta, Benzema, Özil, Modrić. These guys are a class team of their own! Such a shame to be sitting on the bench.

Yes, Koralov's free kick was mesmerising, Benzema's finish was superb, but dí Maria was the difference today. In my humble opinion.

A lot of Real Madrid players looked better than usual today. Ronaldo dribbling well, Alonso, Di Maria etc. Arbeloa looked like a top 2 RB...
