UEFA Champions League 2021/22 SF - Man City v Real Madrid

I've been saying the same thing in recent time, but a player can perform at different levels throughout their career, you know? Prime Carvajal was a genuinely great fullback who excelled on both sides of the pitch. A lot of things have happened since then.

I don’t see it with Militao either

Watching benchwarmers like Zinchenko, Jesus, Foden playing so well makes you realise how stacked this team is.

On the other have you have the invisible beta Carvajal, Valverde (who covers ground well and defends okay but he is an absolute liability in possession). God forbid if any of Madrid's starters get injured. Anyone bar Camavinga would make my eyes hurt.

if city win the league and CL de bruyne def getting it

He shouldn't. As amazing as he is, he is playing in a fully functioning team full of stars whereas Benzema is carrying the whole team on his shoulder.

City decimated Madrid out there in the first 30 minutes. They should’ve put the tie to bed but they can’t kill off a game for shit.

They’re superior tactically to Madrid, but Madrid scores from half chances, goalie blunders, deflected shots, and last minute penalties. They’re a team you can’t afford to not finish off. Now they’ve made the game much more complicated for themselves.

Nah. The fact that he's in a stacked team will penalize him in the voting.

Had to copy paste that, will still hold true, even of for one leg.

NEVER DOUBT

Unbelievable. I edited the comment just to copy and paste that, had a feeling Benzema would show some magic. If this game ends 2-1 to City, the second leg is going to be fun!
Madrid showing Fraudiola how big teams play

De Bruyne usually gets the City related votes in these awards.

Though I think Benz should and will win it. Haven’t seen a CL carry job like this since Ronaldo 2017/Messi 2019. I think his is more impressive than both of them.

Look at the teams around CR and Messi in those years... and then look at what Benz has this year.

Yeah that’s why I think his carry job is more impressive.

Stones off is a big miss. 37 year old Grandpa DM Fernandinho has to fill in as a makeshift RB against Vinicius ffs.

I swear Real are the luckiest team ever, if they get through this tie ffs... lol...

Madrid jammiest team in cl this year

Damn so many chances missed

Militao is just as shit as the rest of them lol.

And if City throw it away morons will blame this on Pep.

Good goal

Mahrez making a decisive assist after flopping for almost the entire game

Wow Vinicius

Great goal

That Fernandinho sub costing Pep big time

WHAT A GAME

English commentators hailing Fernandinho and bam just like that Vini leaves him for dead

Bruh Fernandinho left for dead

Free header missed by Militão! Should have been 3-3.

City need to kill the tempo they’ll concede if they play end to end

Madrid don't have nowhere near Atlético's discipline when defending. They have gaps everywhere. Even when they have the ball, the players are poorly positioned to receive the ball or stretch City.

Man C should be running away with this, no Casemiro means Real are so open, fear chance missed if they dont score more....

Benz is so technically secure. He never loses the ball even when surrounded by 2-3 players.
