Let's take a moment for Ancelotti, he's been brave and given youth a chance over the veterans. Vinicious, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Valverde, Carlo has given them a chance at toughest times and they've delivered for him, the future is bright at Real
Here another thing if City would have advanced all we would have heard is Pep the genius Pep the hod of all the coaches Pep this Pep that …. I think we should give Ancelotti his prop 5th CL final en route to become the first manager to win 4 CL that should separate him from the rest
@@Bonapartes007 , pep and carlos are both great coaches. maybe today is not Pep's time, he can win it next yr or the yr after next, all great coaches have lost semi finals and finals, it is not the end of the world, he still has time.
Their entire argument was “if this didn’t happen and if that happened”. Well guess what, if Benzema scored that header at 3rd minute and if Vinicius scored his wide open goal chance at the 45 minute of 2nd half we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Then he comments about Camavinga’s throw ball to benzema and compare it to a sunday league sequence, does he remember how city scored their goals? Their first goal was from a cross, their 2nd was from a bad cross and a rookie mistake by Alaba, their 4th goal came after real madrid players froze thinking that it was a foul. If you wanna praise city fine be my guest but do not belittle or slander real madrid on your way because it is just pathetic. Football is played until the final whistle, if real madrid decides to start playing at 90th minute then that’s fine. It is not Real Madrid fault’s that City players shat their pants and crumbled like a cherry cobbler after the 1st goal. They should be thankful that Rodrygo didn’t score his hattrick right after the 2nd goal, Ederson gave them a shot into extra time. Let this be a lesson to entire Europe, DONT YOU EVER WRITE REAL MADRID OFF. APOR LA14.
No team is as big as Real Madrid especially in UCL. I’m a Liverpool fan and also a big Madrid fan. It’s a win win situation for me but talking down or Real Madrid who beat PSG, Chelsea and Man City on their way to the final. Liverpool had easily ties compared to Madrid. For me Madrid have to be the favorites. I want Liverpool to win the quadruple but it is what it is.
@@Aa-wq3ef no he wasn’t. And if he did, we missed other chances. Vinicius alone missed 3 chances one of them was 1 Vs 1 with ederson and the other was an open goal. So their argument that their was nothing until Rodrygo goal is simply invalid.
Everyone will talk about Courtoius, Benzama, Modric. But truth is, this season’s success belongs to the youth. VINI. RODRIGO. VALVARDE. CAMAVINGA. Without them we would have been no where. Hats off to the recruiters.
My analysis of oil city -Less UCL than Nottingham forest -Less premier league than Liverpool -Less FA cup than Tottenham -Less world club cups than Atletico Madrid -Less big than United -Less international titles than Ipswich town They are not even bigger than Derby county.
lol that's not the truth. The three players you mentioned have been the CORE of the team's success this season. The youth have stepped up for sure, but they were stepping up to meet those three at their level.
The mentality, the sheer determination this Madrid team has is incredible. They play like they know they will win. U just can't bet against them. Wow just wow.

I used to think that real madrid's habit of winning without even dominating the game was entirely bcuz of individual brilliances of superstars (ronaldo, bale) etc But now i see that every madrid player is capable of those kinda magical stuff. Its like the players get that power once they wear the madrid shirt.
You are the first person who has correctly identified one player as being underrated and that is Nacho. But Cama is not chopped liver. Brought in to star and he changed the game

The Madrid-City game for me was more of a life lesson than a football takeaway. For City, quality and logic aside sometimes in life you need to be ruthless and take your chances and bury your enemy when they are weak. For Madrid, desire, self belief, determination, matched with charm and know-how goes a long way in getting you over the line especially if you know your history and worth. Simple.

Real Madrid’s UCL run this season is literally a 1 in 10 trillion chance. It shouldn’t be possible. This UCL run will NEVER be repeated. We are literally witnessing something legendary, not just in football history, but in sports history. It’s just breathtaking

it was incredible - considering the contrast back at the Etihad. even when City were 2 goals ahead, the fans just weren't delivering behind they're boys. there's a sense of belief from the players down on the field and all the way to the fans sitting at home. the energy was tangible in the stadium.
Assensio + Ceballos did nothing... Lets be real unless u don't watch football It was all about Rodrygo + Camavinga + Valverde, all what Assensio + Ceballos did was delay the game in the extra time.. that's it.
@@problemstube7266 nahh stop it I'm not even a real fan but it’s not as easy as you think header and tap in if it was so easy people would be avg 40 goals
As a Madrid fan. I threw in the towel at the 88th minute. BUT. As soon as that 1 goal went in, I knew. I just KNEW it would be another magical night at the bernabeu and Madrid would win !
1. No doubt in my mind. Not an RM fan, but there was no doubt as to the final result. 2. Mendy's goal line stop was historic!! 3. That pass, in the overtime, from Courtois to Cavaminga (that lead to the penalty), was sublime. Pure beauty.
He doesn't play in the premier league....you know how this goes...🤷🏿♂️ Hasn't done it on a rainy night in Stoke. Only just got into the same league as Harry Kane.
I disagree that Real Madrid didn’t do anything during these 90 mins. They defended well against possibly the best tactical team in the world. They fought and took the game until the last instance, sure it wasn’t pretty but not many teams aside from Liverpool can stay alive against city in 90 mins let alone 180 mins. City was not comfortable the whole game, they didn’t risk as much as they usually do because they knew madrid was capable of a lot at the counter. They controlled the game but they never felt truly in control of the score line.
The defeat would have been avoided, I'm a Liverpool fan and i saw total loss of concentration by your boys at that moment that really matters. Jack Grealish for instance had the opportunity to prevent Cavarjal from taking that deadly cross into your box 18 where4 to 5Madrid players were waiting. He was just looking at him dressing the ball when he should have run into him to block him. Painful the claim tha City and Liverpool are the best in the world is open to questioning now. I wanted an all English final
@@crazyhispanic05 finally some people who actually know football lol. Everyone’s saying that City were better even tho we clearly were better until our midfield’s mistake which cost us the goal.
If there is one club in the world that should never be counted out is Real Madrid. Honestly the winning mentality of this club is unmatched. Incredible club. As a Man United fan I wish we had this winning mentality.
You do just like us. Remember 1999? your current problem is the personality of your players. Just remove the bad apples and get a world class coach ( Ancelotti tier). its not really difficult
To think that Real Madrid won by playing the final minutes and extra time with Benzema, modric,kroos,casimero and Vini on the bench!. The winning mentality and never say die attitude of Madrid is incredible.
Camavingas introduction into the game initiated all 3 comebacks for Real Madrid in the knockout games! Hope Ancelotti starts him in the final ahead of Kroos!
Nah if he starts the problem is that he is sometimes too rushed and could pick up an early card. Also we need fresh legs in the 2nd half so it's better to bring him on 2nd half
I think its way better to bring him as sub in 2nd half like rodrygo...cuse then the teams get bulldozed by the energy they and valverde brings alongside modric, benzema, courtois, and casemiro in the dying minutes
The thing about Real Madrid is that when they see that they can win the game, they start to get momentum, and once they get momentum there’s no way of stopping them because they have the strong team mentality and that’s what other teams don’t have and speaking as a Barca fan that’s what Barcelona needs to gain in order to compete in Europe
@@lyndoncmp5751 how are they lucky? It's our player who cleared the ball. There are no ifs in the game of football. You should know that. By your logic, I could say if vini buried that chance in the beginning of the second half, it would be much easier for us and we wouldn't risk that much opening up
Camavinga is the future of the best midfielders. He has done a turn up for Real Madrid against PSG, Chelsea Man city. People never talked about this guy. What a player!

We should appreciate Ancelotti for the way he made changes, special appreciation to the Brazilian Rodrigo , he reads the game from the bench comes & gives good passes takes good positions & finishes with precision,.
Yes indeed. He deserves even more credit for la decima as that re-ignited the belief at the club. Real went over 10 years without a champions league until Carlo brought some calm.
I saw the 4-3 match at Etihad. I knew then that if Madrid were able to score that many goals (in spite of the loss), somehow they would find a way to make a comeback at their own stadium, no matter what.
@@Leetbeast totally valid point, among many other points consider mate. City a "better team", but didn't kill Madrid when they could. They did concede 6 goals in two matches, so you have to look at the key plays where they failed to be solid in defense, and the many chances they missed as well, although some of them because of Courtuois being solid. If you don't kill a team like Madrid, you're in for some suffering if Madrid have self-belief that one of their plays will turn into a crucial goal.

To be honest, City scoring that goal in the second half was actually bad for them rather than good because it was when Real Madrid woke up and decided to go all in
not really true, after the goal city still had most of the ball and almost put 2 more in the net until the last moment when Madrid came back to life and got a goal back
There is a legitimate gap in technical ability between Madrid and City but people are overstating it IMO. The biggest difference between the sides is that intangible called championship heart. Man City are strategic giants and a well drilled technical machine BECAUSE of that it takes them to the cusp of greatness BUT when they get there and get punched in the mouth they are forced to rely on things that you can't coach. That's not natural for them so THEY FLINCH. Real Madrid does not flinch, no matter the circumstances. CAMPEONES!
Agreed! DeBruyne is the only guy who looks like he would rather die than lose. Madrid to a man ran themselves to death. I don’t know how Vinicius, Miltao, Modric, etc….are able to play that way time and time again.
Yes, quality isn't that big but the difference in pedigree is immense. Also, Real have some real quality young players on the bench whilst city have seasoned veterans on the bench.
It's never over until it's over and Real Madrid has learned to believe so...Besides, from the images Guardiola clearly did not believe his team had the final in the pocket after Mehrez goal...he had a quite scared face during the entire match. What a football game!
You have to understand this team has a lot of flaws, but that doesn't take away the hunger and determination playing in a Real Madrid shirt. Rodrygo, my goodness. Super sub.
It's because their form in the champions league has been well below par. However, the fact that they've been under-performing and STILL made it to the final, is just incredible.
Ale lowkey such a great analyst. So true about City’s inability to get ugly - they win the PL because it’s a war of attrition against so many other teams - only Liverpool and Spurs seem to challenge them
But after the second leg against atletico they did play ugly. They were out played by a team that struggles to even get men forward. 2 weeks ago people were praising city for literally getting their hands dirty in a brawl and now they don’t have enough fight? Which one is it?
Exactly! City always try to play the tiki taka style and cant cope when it gets ugly. In PL they get helped A LOT by the referees!! if any one tries to play the rugged style against them they'll end up with 9 or 10 players. So glad to see City bottle it!!! :D

I am a Barca fan.but respect to Madrid, the experienced guys in their team are preparing the new generation like Rodrigo, Camavinga, Valverde, vinicius all these guys, imparting all the years of experience of Kroos, Modric,Caswmiro, Benzema. These guys are turning these young players into mentality monsters as well that's the scary part. And it pisses me off that Camavinga, Valverde and vinicius if they win the CL would have won a league title and a CL before Pedri, Gavi and Fati, and maybe just like it happened in 2010s our youngsters will gain more experience and win CLs and league titles themselves and I am sure it will happen with Xavi, because Barca rightnow are not throwing money at players like pep is doing at city to think you can just buy your way and create a team like that 2011 Barcelona team which was mainly made up of talent but most importantly that team had a soul because most of the players are from the academy unlike this man City team.but man , and I don't think pep will win the CL with city. But man Madrid!! Come on man Camavinga is a player, he is a baller,and I love pedri and I think he is the heir to Iniesta like most people but Camavinga is definitely taking on the mantle from Modric and Kroos when they leave, he is a baller and Valverde is quality as well.
Iniesta will never have a heir, he cant be even clonned ! Iniesta it is art at the highest level! ...dont even mention again! Im a Liverpool fan, but even the best bow to the greatest!
although Madrid did not have shot on target, there were good chances created by Madrid which benzema and vini jr missed. so it was not as one sided for the 90 mins as the panel is pointing out.
@@alexistorres2330 exactly! They keep mentioning shots on target which is so stupid.Since when were shots on target an indicator of how good a team is playing? Multiple of City's shots were literally caught easily by courtios.
Real Madrid is the greatest thing that can ever happen to a human. We win against all odds and go thru against deniers. Real Madrid it's not a label, but a life style.

@@jaimonjaison6415 G i was actually agreeing with what you said in your 3rd suggestion.. plus Arsenal made a finals already mate so dont bring Big side into this.. amd don't say Arsenal never win a CL😉The world and i already knows that
Yeah cuz he had taken half his players off and gone defensive. If you pull your team and play defensively and the other team loads attackers (to come back) then when it goes to extra time you are always in trouble. Even in penalty shootout, the forwards should be better than the defenders so you're always gonna be in trouble in that situation. Not to mention the momentum and crowd being with Madrid, they were always against it once that 2nd goal goes in.
Pep thought the game was wrapped up in the 80th minute. the insertion of those youth players from Don Carlo looked so well calculated. it was almost as if he was waiting for Pep to make that error and then immediately terrorize them. Pep had regrets and you could see his panic and disbelief when he brought on Sterling.
when Mahrez scored i was like no way this incredible semis can end in so boring way without any drama.. And BOOMMM!!! Madrid actually created all the drama and went through..Crazy stuff 😂🤯
"They didn't nothing over 90 minutes" what are you talking about they had chances but the strikers but on 90 minute of stinky performances, Madrid had more chance than City, but City hit the target most of the time. The fans were awsome
45%/55% possession 14/15 shots 5/10 on target 426/553 passing To me and to the stats its seems an even game... But ESPN FC crew "they were awful, they didn't do nothing in 90 minutes. The last 15 minutes City had all the ball where did the stats came from then? It's okay il wait...
@@raigokutsar5886 facts, I must have watched a different game, up until the Mahrez’s goal, they hadn’t created anything worrying. I have no idea what game they watched, pushing an absolute false narrative.
"It's nothing fantastic" "It's nothing out of the ordinary"... You're lost, good sir... What happened in the champions semifinal is the definition of fantastic, of extraordinary.
Madrid didnt play as bad as everyone is making out to be. Vinicius should have done better on 2 or 3 occasions. I think the game was kinda balanced. Also Camavinga / Valvede midfield might need to be phased in slowly, Kroos is showing his age
Yeah these pundits are very radicalized and stubborn. You see it with Atleti, they only have insults to say even when they put in a really good effort and challenged city. They developed ideas about teams and then ignore any evidence against them, which leads to them ignoring chances Madrid had and concluding that City completely dominated.
Exactly. 10 seconds into the second half, if Vinicious buries the sitter, it becomes a different story. You don't have to always play sexy football; getting the ball inside the net is paramount. These guys are talking rubbish.
This just prove it that a good coach does matter, against PSG and Chelsea and city today we can really see that the coach won the games for them with all the changes he made and when he made them. Incredible
Whenever city scored, you knew Madrid would score but when Madrid scores and goes ahead, you know city aren't gonna score cuz they would flinch. In fact city had been beaten psychologically before this game.

@@raj-khotmarathawarriorclan That's not true. Rea Madrid are doing well and are not even better than Chelsea, Man city and Liverpool. Full Time 90mins Chelsea beat them 3-1 in Spain. Please spare us that overated talk. Be factual. Liverpool is in the final. They beat Villareal who had beaten Juve and Bayern.
City were nothing 12 years ago yet now we're supposed treat them like the great historic English clubs! PSG get slaughtered by English media but Chelsea an City get endless praise. Oil money teams
Before the tournament started, the favorites were ( in no particular order) Man city, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and PSG. For Real Madrid to win will mean that they single handedly will have eliminated 4 out of the 5. Pretty incredible. Real Madrid truly deserve to be champions.
Liverpool were not favourites from the onset. Because of how the summer transfer window was for them and how poor they were last season, most people didn't rate Liverpool to be honest. People only started thinking they had a chance because of how they performed in the group stage.
and guess what those two teams have in common? Bottomless wallets which buy a bunch of super stars, which makes them both dominate their domestic league. *DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO EUROPE*
Why is anybody not talking about Pep taking off Mahrez, that was a big moment! That for me is one of the reasons they lost..Mahrez was a threat.He just has moments of magic in his boots!
Pep wanted to rest him for the final and wanted to sleep in the crucial last minutes and there Madrid’s who utilised that time to grab city by their neck and chop their heads off.
We would not be talking about the substitutions if Man City were to have won. Pep prolly needed fresh legs and trying to hold a 2 goal advantage by boosting his midfield and hold on to the ball longer.
Stevie is wrong on this one. As a fan of City, I for one cannot keep accepting my team failing apart at the last moment. We almost lost to Atletico last time around. Enough is enough! $400 millions on a defence that keeps coming short on the biggest stage.
Real Madrid just doesn't give up till the end Rodrygo literally came and gave a different kind of energy on the field ancelloti is brilliant he knows how to manage those young players
I do agree Madrid were outplayed most of the time this season, but get Stevie out of this discussion. He's been saulty & his argument is rubbish for the 1st leg. Would rather listen to Ale, at least he's more logical
@@doubleaa805 the cast of the show is excellent. It's entertaining & funny, but its just a turn off when Stevie & Frank keeps being saulty esp for every Madrid game. Ale, Don, Shaka, Dan, Kay, Gab, even Jules gave credit where it's due eventho it's unrealistic.
Yeah Ake deserves some credit, because last week he kept saying I’m going to go for city but by a smidgen, because you don’t count out Real Madrid and you have to kill them and beat them 10x over before they are actually dead or they’ll come back and hurt you
The final will truly be the clash of the mentality monsters. I am still amazed that Liverpool didn't bottle it last night but Real Madrid did something truly magical
Liverpool I think wins because it’s only one game if you look at two of the knockout stage games Real Madrid loses but I think it will be a great game I just think Liverpool have such a complete team with so many more weapons than Madrid which will show in the final
What people have to realise..like Madrid LIVERPOOL have,history in this competition Liverpool have Grat comebacks..Istanbul..Anfield 3-0 down...Folks Liverpool are as much Mentality Monsters in this competition as Madrid...YNWA....
tears down my face what a game just when everyone says we are down and out Madrid stands tall only thing missing was good ol Ronaldo and some Zidane Isco disco and that's classic Madrid beautiful game
Can always count on Stevie to be so incredibly pro-premier league clubs when speaking about UCL. Perhaps the "never give up / till the dying minutes" mentality that Real Madrid have had for almost a decade is what actually makes them a better team than the likes of City and not just go on the biased-based notion of how they look on paper in a head to head comparison by player v player. Sheesh.
Imagine an ex English based player being biased towards English teams. Oh the shock. Go watch Marca if you don't want English bias. You'll find all the love for Spanish teams on Marca.
No need for snarky sarcastic comments. Ps he’s neither physically based in England nor is he English. My point is as a pundit he’s consistently biased which in reality he shouldn’t be. He ought to give the due respect to Real Madrid for how they beat the French Champions, European Defending Champions and EPL defending champions. The comebacks and resilience of RM is amazing. Good day sir!
@@Vincentdeoliveira exactly.....im glad people are begin to realize....he saying psg should be criticized but man city shouldnt because things didnt go their way.....well what if things did go psg way , what then, he is just biased in certain things and im glad this madrid result shows that.
Stevie refuses to accept there is ever any reason to criticize Man City and Liverpool. Liverpool I can accept because he played there for years, but why is he so defensive when it comes to Man City? It's honestly annoying.
City didn't outplay Madrid in either leg. City didn't look like scoring and Mahrez scored a beauty. But with the intro of Rodrygo and Camavinga that completely changed the game.
Tbh in the first leg they did. But this game today, the match was 50/50. Don't know how these pundits can sit there and say madrid did not play anything throughout this match
At this point RM is in a better position to win giving the path they took: PSG, Chelsea, and now ManCity. They were supposed to be bounced in the first round, yet here they are.
We scored six aginst them but people are still giving excuses. We don’t have the best side in this world at the moment but we are madrid. We own the ucl. Those oil clubs and the experts should learn to respect the badge. Yes we didn’t play some greatest match but we are still the winners.
They lost against the most random club in the whole tournament (Sheriff) and decided to destroy all the big teams after that lmao God bless Real Madrid what a CL season
I love the fact that Madrid showed what Oil cannot buy and that’s character. The final should be incredible because now we have two teams who, for me, are the most historic clubs of all time.
Real this season are just incredible. May 28th is the most important date. The final won’t have 2 legs so they gotta figure it out. Can’t wait till next season with Mbappe and Rudiger.
Van dijk will destroy benzema…can’t wait until we get our revenge. This Madrid team is overrated, Liverpool have heritage unlike city we will get that A**
😂😂😂I stayed up until 1am after the match to watch these pundits take back their disrespect for Real Madrid.. But man these guys are stubborn, Nicol, wow! 😂😂 Those Carletto subs though 🔥, I remember Carlo was reluctant in using subs or overall changing the team in the first half of the season, now he has channeled that Zizou B team magic from 16/17, and it's been a dream.. Don't wake me
When you are leading by a goal playing Real Madrid, all the more you got to play like its your final match of your life. Real Madrid is really a relentless side and I fear for my team in the final 3 weeks later
TIME AND TIME AGAIN THIS PUNDITS UNDERESTIMATES REAL MADRID WOW THEY TALKING ABOUT REAL MADRID BEING POOR,BUT THEY IN THR FINAL FIGHTING TO WIN A 14 UEFA TITLE WOW
Stevie that ball into the box did not look desperate because it's very calculated to reach Benzema for him to get Rodrygo in his fresh leg to get ahead of the keeper. It came out of training ground, this is what people overlook, in desperate time you need precision to get goals and Real Madrid does this best, time and time again
When he says that real madrid were dead, does he mean to say the equal possession before those goals, does he mean the higher 1st half xg, does he mean equal no. Of shots, does he mean the higher overall xg and more no. Of big chances. They are all just salty because all them underestimated madrid, even as a madrid fan, at 89th minute I thought it was all over, but still I was proud the way my team played because they had shown heart to win.
Liverpool and real madrid showed what it means to be a big club that is grounded in history and knows how to never give in. City is just playing so grate football
They have a monstrous mentality. I've heard the phrase "Die to live" and it looks like it's made for them. To win against the current Real Madrid, Two goal difference isn't enough let alone one goal difference. You have to completely destroy them, take your chances, and step on them to win. Otherwise, you're doomed.
Same with Liverpool. Madrid have lost 4 games in the CL already this season. Liverpool have only lost 3 games in total all season out of nearly 60 matches.
I don't know what game they did watch but in 2nd leg game was balanced real was able to play through the back and had fair share of possession and after the city scored Real had a go and city can't defend . The difference was when real Madrid needed the goal they got two in dying minutes of game but city were seen very unlikely to get a goal when they were behind
Y'all counted them out. I started watching this game at the 82nd minute and knew it was coming. I didn't think they'd get 3 but I knew it was going to extra time.
I actually think that City was playable for most part of the game yesterday. Their biggest chances came after the first goal when Real had to open up and they were very vulnerable at the back. But up to that point, it wasn't a game where City were that much superior, they probably have been a little more dangerous, but Real had their chances too. Even though they didn't have a shot on goal, they had chances, I mean for example Vinicius missed an open goal for christ sake. So it was a surprisingly even game up into the first goal, after the first goal City dominated for 15 minutes but like guys said, they didn't bury Real and after the first Rodrygo goal that came from nowhere, the magic happened once again at Bernabeu. There are many things to improve in Real's game, but they certainly have a very unique fighting spirit and ability to rise up in moments in which you think they are already finished. Maybe it's not logical that they are in the final, but it's definitely not a coincidence.
City always look playable. Even atletico de Madrid looked dangerous on the attack when they were actually trying to score. Making city seem like the bus drivers in the second half of the second leg.
Very true. These teams (Liverpool and Manchester City) have been given so much praise that you forget they're playable. Liverpool conceded 5 goals against Benfica, 3 of them at Anfield. If attacked, they do concede and the Liverpool fullbacks aren't great defensively, especially Trent and the pundits have Liverpool confidently winning the match. We should be grateful that the game isn't played in the Studio by analysts
True. The narrative that City had control in this match is false. They were superior, greatly in the first leg and marginally in the second, but they also were very fragile at the back and didn't take the sting out of the game on any of the FOUR (!) occasions they had a two goals lead. They have a mental fragility in this competition which is hard to explain.
@@MrMacbridemax I agree, City had as many oportunities to bury Real as you could ask for in UCL semifinal, but they also were vulnerable. People say Real took all their chances, but that's not really true, they missed a few too, but in the end they were just more clinical in those crucial moments. First 70 minutes of second leg I was thinking that yes, City are slightly better in this game, but Real is also not playing badly and can win this game. Of course, after the first goal everything has changed, but they managed to come back from the dead anyway and Rodrygo almost completed hattrick in three minutes, which would be even more hilarious than as it is.

When the entire ESPN crew predicted City going through that’s when I knew Madrid was gonna go through
They almost never get anything right 😂
hahahaha
true thing..only Ale Moreno gave them a little chance
They picked psg, Chelsea and city. Every rounds…it’s like they’ve seen it over and over. Watch they will pick Liverpool over Madrid
Belize central america I'm from and i agree totally !! Fock ESPN and glory to Real Madrid FC
They will still say Liverpool will win the CL..trust me TAA ain’t going to stop Vinicius
Let's take a moment for Ancelotti, he's been brave and given youth a chance over the veterans.
Vinicious, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Valverde, Carlo has given them a chance at toughest times and they've delivered for him, the future is bright at Real
Here another thing if City would have advanced all we would have heard is Pep the genius Pep the hod of all the coaches Pep this Pep that …. I think we should give Ancelotti his prop 5th CL final en route to become the first manager to win 4 CL that should separate him from the rest
@@Bonapartes007 now that's the GOAT
I m the worst singing in the history of city, i don't deserve to play for City. Please forgive
@@Bonapartes007 , pep and carlos are both great coaches. maybe today is not Pep's time, he can win it next yr or the yr after next, all great coaches have lost semi finals and finals, it is not the end of the world, he still has time.
He has to give youth a chance. They have nobody else.
Their entire argument was “if this didn’t happen and if that happened”. Well guess what, if Benzema scored that header at 3rd minute and if Vinicius scored his wide open goal chance at the 45 minute of 2nd half we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Then he comments about Camavinga’s throw ball to benzema and compare it to a sunday league sequence, does he remember how city scored their goals? Their first goal was from a cross, their 2nd was from a bad cross and a rookie mistake by Alaba, their 4th goal came after real madrid players froze thinking that it was a foul. If you wanna praise city fine be my guest but do not belittle or slander real madrid on your way because it is just pathetic. Football is played until the final whistle, if real madrid decides to start playing at 90th minute then that’s fine. It is not Real Madrid fault’s that City players shat their pants and crumbled like a cherry cobbler after the 1st goal. They should be thankful that Rodrygo didn’t score his hattrick right after the 2nd goal, Ederson gave them a shot into extra time. Let this be a lesson to entire Europe, DONT YOU EVER WRITE REAL MADRID OFF. APOR LA14.
No team is as big as Real Madrid especially in UCL. I’m a Liverpool fan and also a big Madrid fan. It’s a win win situation for me but talking down or Real Madrid who beat PSG, Chelsea and Man City on their way to the final. Liverpool had easily ties compared to Madrid. For me Madrid have to be the favorites. I want Liverpool to win the quadruple but it is what it is.
Benzema was offside for that header.
@@Aa-wq3ef no he wasn’t. And if he did, we missed other chances. Vinicius alone missed 3 chances one of them was 1 Vs 1 with ederson and the other was an open goal. So their argument that their was nothing until Rodrygo goal is simply invalid.
Finally someone who really watched the game
Well said bro I'll copy paste this comment wherever necessary! Was tired of writing the same stuff to a few ppl lmao!
Everyone will talk about Courtoius, Benzama, Modric. But truth is, this season’s success belongs to the youth.
VINI. RODRIGO. VALVARDE. CAMAVINGA. Without them we would have been no where. Hats off to the recruiters.

The Madrid-City game for me was more of a life lesson than a football takeaway.
For City, quality and logic aside sometimes in life you need to be ruthless and take your chances and bury your enemy when they are weak.
For Madrid, desire, self belief, determination, matched with charm and know-how goes a long way in getting you over the line especially if you know your history and worth. Simple.

it was incredible - considering the contrast back at the Etihad. even when City were 2 goals ahead, the fans just weren't delivering behind they're boys.

I disagree that Real Madrid didn’t do anything during these 90 mins. They defended well against possibly the best tactical team in the world. They fought and took the game until the last instance, sure it wasn’t pretty but not many teams aside from Liverpool can stay alive against city in 90 mins let alone 180 mins. City was not comfortable the whole game, they didn’t risk as much as they usually do because they knew madrid was capable of a lot at the counter. They controlled the game but they never felt truly in control of the score line.
The defeat would have been avoided, I'm a Liverpool fan and i saw total loss of concentration by your boys at that moment that really matters. Jack Grealish for instance had the opportunity to prevent Cavarjal from taking that deadly cross into your box 18 where4 to 5Madrid players were waiting. He was just looking at him dressing the ball when he should have run into him to block him. Painful the claim tha City and Liverpool are the best in the world is open to questioning now. I wanted an all English final

90’s bulls had possibly the greatest athlete of all time (both physically and mentally). They would never lose in the big moments while he was there.
To think that Real Madrid won by playing the final minutes and extra time with Benzema, modric,kroos,casimero and Vini on the bench!.
The winning mentality and never say die attitude of Madrid is incredible.
Camavingas introduction into the game initiated all 3 comebacks for Real Madrid in the knockout games! Hope Ancelotti starts him in the final ahead of Kroos!
Nah if he starts the problem is that he is sometimes too rushed and could pick up an early card. Also we need fresh legs in the 2nd half so it's better to bring him on 2nd half
I think its way better to bring him as sub in 2nd half like rodrygo...cuse then the teams get bulldozed by the energy they and valverde brings alongside modric, benzema, courtois, and casemiro in the dying minutes
He did not initiate PSG or Chelsea.
true thing..kroos modric and Casimero together equals a POOR MIDFIELD.. that's why they always look like they are being out played
@@arsenalgunnaz6368 they were better than City today, despite City having the best Midfield
The thing about Real Madrid is that when they see that they can win the game, they start to get momentum, and once they get momentum there’s no way of stopping them because they have the strong team mentality and that’s what other teams don’t have and speaking as a Barca fan that’s what Barcelona needs to gain in order to compete in Europe
But if City had buried that chance when it was 1-0 it would have been all over. They were very very lucky.
Barcelona will no doubt bounce back. Too big to fail
@@lyndoncmp5751 how are they lucky? It's our player who cleared the ball. There are no ifs in the game of football. You should know that.

@@Leetbeast totally valid point, among many other points consider mate. City a "better team", but didn't kill Madrid when they could. They did concede 6 goals in two matches, so you have to look at the key plays where they failed to be solid in defense, and the many chances they missed as well, although some of them because of Courtuois being solid.

@Rohan Chatterjee cry about it you clown
*football fan
There is a legitimate gap in technical ability between Madrid and City but people are overstating it IMO. The biggest difference between the sides is that intangible called championship heart. Man City are strategic giants and a well drilled technical machine BECAUSE of that it takes them to the cusp of greatness BUT when they get there and get punched in the mouth they are forced to rely on things that you can't coach. That's not natural for them so THEY FLINCH. Real Madrid does not flinch, no matter the circumstances. CAMPEONES!
Agreed! DeBruyne is the only guy who looks like he would rather die than lose. Madrid to a man ran themselves to death. I don’t know how Vinicius, Miltao, Modric, etc….are able to play that way time and time again.
Well said...
Yes, quality isn't that big but the difference in pedigree is immense. Also, Real have some real quality young players on the bench whilst city have seasoned veterans on the bench.
Ooof, you were at 69 likes, but I still gave a like. 🙁
I know, it's rough, but it had to be done. 😔

It's never over until it's over and Real Madrid has learned to believe so...Besides, from the images Guardiola clearly did not believe his team had the final in the pocket after Mehrez goal...he had a quite scared face during the entire match. What a football game!
Something about Spurs against city man, city is a way better team but spurs seem to always know how to beat them
You have to understand this team has a lot of flaws, but that doesn't take away the hunger and determination playing in a Real Madrid shirt. Rodrygo, my goodness. Super sub.
I find it difficult to understand how people manage to doubt Madrid. There should never be a match where Real Madrid are the underdogs, never.

It's because their form in the champions league has been well below par. However, the fact that they've been under-performing and STILL made it to the final, is just incredible.

But after the second leg against atletico they did play ugly. They were out played by a team that struggles to even get men forward. 2 weeks ago people were praising city for literally getting their hands dirty in a brawl and now they don’t have enough fight? Which one is it?
Exactly! City always try to play the tiki taka style and cant cope when it gets ugly. In PL they get helped A LOT by the referees!! if any one tries to play the rugged style against them they'll end up with 9 or 10 players. So glad to see City bottle it!!! :D

I am a Barca fan.but respect to Madrid, the experienced guys in their team are preparing the new generation like Rodrigo, Camavinga, Valverde, vinicius all these guys, imparting all the years of experience of Kroos, Modric,Caswmiro, Benzema. These guys are turning these young players into mentality monsters as well that's the scary part. And it pisses me off that Camavinga, Valverde and vinicius if they win the CL would have won a league title and a CL before Pedri, Gavi and Fati, and maybe just like it happened in 2010s our youngsters will gain more experience and win CLs and league titles themselves and I am sure it will happen with Xavi, because Barca rightnow are not throwing money at players like pep is doing at city to think you can just buy your way and create a team like that 2011 Barcelona team which was mainly made up of talent but most importantly that team had a soul because most of the players are from the academy unlike this man City team.but man , and I don't think pep will win the CL with city. But man Madrid!! Come on man Camavinga is a player, he is a baller,and I love pedri and I think he is the heir to Iniesta like most people but Camavinga is definitely taking on the mantle from Modric and Kroos when they leave, he is a baller and Valverde is quality as well.
Barca is no longer throwing money at players, people are renewing with reduced wages and most signings are free transfers

worst still, it is hard for him to accept that he is not going to win CL again (w/o messi)
Yeah cuz he had taken half his players off and gone defensive. If you pull your team and play defensively and the other team loads attackers (to come back) then when it goes to extra time you are always in trouble.
Even in penalty shootout, the forwards should be better than the defenders so you're always gonna be in trouble in that situation. Not to mention the momentum and crowd being with Madrid, they were always against it once that 2nd goal goes in.
That is the problem with this team. Composure is underrated and you could see the panic in the players once Real madrid scored their first goal.
Pep thought the game was wrapped up in the 80th minute. the insertion of those youth players from Don Carlo looked so well calculated. it was almost as if he was waiting for Pep to make that error and then immediately terrorize them. Pep had regrets and you could see his panic and disbelief when he brought on Sterling.
This will feel even worse than losing in the final last season for Man City. They completely crumbled tonight.
They didn't crumbled, it was just tough luck
Out of the 3 Madrid knocked out only psg. Crumbled after benzema goal
@@nitinpatel1039 the crumbled, they did the same thing in the first game. Madrid were done, all the had to do was fight till the end
@@jasonlegi Facts
Manchester City will never win the UCL, ever! 🤣🤣🤣
And Real Madrid don’t lose UCL finals.
when Mahrez scored i was like no way this incredible semis can end in so boring way without any drama.. And BOOMMM!!! Madrid actually created all the drama and went through..Crazy stuff 😂🤯
"They didn't nothing over 90 minutes" what are you talking about they had chances but the strikers but on 90 minute of stinky performances, Madrid had more chance than City, but City hit the target most of the time.
The fans were awsome
45%/55% possession
14/15 shots 5/10 on target
426/553 passing
To me and to the stats its seems an even game... But ESPN FC crew "they were awful, they didn't do nothing in 90 minutes. The last 15 minutes City had all the ball where did the stats came from then? It's okay il wait...
@@raigokutsar5886 those stats undermine Real Madrid. They were much more dangerous with the ball
@@raigokutsar5886 facts, I must have watched a different game, up until the Mahrez’s goal, they hadn’t created anything worrying. I have no idea what game they watched, pushing an absolute false narrative.
the clear cut chances was at the beginning of the second half, vinicios should have hit the target
Im here saying the same thing,like the espn crew and I watched two different match…they are so biased
Mendy's block 10 seconds before was more incredible than the save. One of the best goal line clearances you will ever see.
THE BALL BOUNCING OFF fODDEN LEG. RESILIENT TEAM BUT SO FORTUNATE
"It's nothing fantastic" "It's nothing out of the ordinary"... You're lost, good sir... What happened in the champions semifinal is the definition of fantastic, of extraordinary.
He’s was referring to the nature of the goals themselves not the result they achieved
Madrid didnt play as bad as everyone is making out to be. Vinicius should have done better on 2 or 3 occasions. I think the game was kinda balanced.
Also Camavinga / Valvede midfield might need to be phased in slowly, Kroos is showing his age
Yeah these pundits are very radicalized and stubborn. You see it with Atleti, they only have insults to say even when they put in a really good effort and challenged city. They developed ideas about teams and then ignore any evidence against them, which leads to them ignoring chances Madrid had and concluding that City completely dominated.
It was a balanced game I agree.
Also, Benzema missed a header in the opening minutes. Dude didn’t even hit target
Real had 0 shots on target in 90 minutes at home
Exactly. 10 seconds into the second half, if Vinicious buries the sitter, it becomes a different story. You don't have to always play sexy football; getting the ball inside the net is paramount. These guys are talking rubbish.
This just prove it that a good coach does matter, against PSG and Chelsea and city today we can really see that the coach won the games for them with all the changes he made and when he made them. Incredible
Pep Guardiola is hands down one of the greatest coaches currently and in the history of football. This game doesn’t take anything away from that
Everton just don't have the quality of player, or the team ethos to pull this off. Carlo ancolotti needs a big team, with a big mentality.
@@TheGameCritc U mean Man City right?
@@yariva6141 he meant Everton. Ancelotti was coaching at Everton b4 they hired Lampard.
i cant fathom how rodrygo’s name isn’t in the title. super sub that came in and saved the game, amazing from him 😄
Whenever city scored, you knew Madrid would score but when Madrid scores and goes ahead, you know city aren't gonna score cuz they would flinch. In fact city had been beaten psychologically before this game.
The second leg of both semis proved that football is more about determination than tactics
In other news, water is wet! I have seen so many remontadas that I knew this long ago!
Match of the season again💯no doubt!! ESPN pundits should not say sh*t except Ale Moreno.. the only Pundit who gave Madrid a chance to advance
Not really, it was pretty boring most of the game.
Life of the 43 City fans:
40%: Pretending like they don’t care about the CL
30%: Showing United is irrelevant by always talking about them
20%: Bantering rivals while being the smallest club in the PL

For football fans, we thought Real Madrid had a 50-50 chance. City wasn’t the clear favourite. People forget their struggles against Atletico Madrid.
This. Real ones knew it was a coin toss.
English team are overated
This is very true mate. They hanged on the thread the last few minutes. They are good, but crumble on pressure .
@@raj-khotmarathawarriorclan That's not true. Rea Madrid are doing well and are not even better than Chelsea, Man city and Liverpool. Full Time 90mins Chelsea beat them 3-1 in Spain. Please spare us that overated talk. Be factual. Liverpool is in the final. They beat Villareal who had beaten Juve and Bayern.
City were nothing 12 years ago yet now we're supposed treat them like the great historic English clubs! PSG get slaughtered by English media but Chelsea an City get endless praise. Oil money teams
Before the tournament started, the favorites were ( in no particular order) Man city, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and PSG.
For Real Madrid to win will mean that they single handedly will have eliminated 4 out of the 5. Pretty incredible.
Real Madrid truly deserve to be champions.
Liverpool were not favourites from the onset. Because of how the summer transfer window was for them and how poor they were last season, most people didn't rate Liverpool to be honest. People only started thinking they had a chance because of how they performed in the group stage.
Liverpool are gonna thump Real in the final.

Funny thing is PSG also held a 2 goal advantage before the 61st minute. 😂😂😂
"Birds of the same feather,......."
and guess what those two teams have in common? Bottomless wallets which buy a bunch of super stars, which makes them both dominate their domestic league. *DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO EUROPE*
Camavinga brought life to that midfield
Why is anybody not talking about Pep taking off Mahrez, that was a big moment! That for me is one of the reasons they lost..Mahrez was a threat.He just has moments of magic in his boots!
Also took of de bryune
Exactly, why tf would you replace the goal scorer???
Pep wanted to rest him for the final and wanted to sleep in the crucial last minutes and there Madrid’s who utilised that time to grab city by their neck and chop their heads off.
We would not be talking about the substitutions if Man City were to have won. Pep prolly needed fresh legs and trying to hold a 2 goal advantage by boosting his midfield and hold on to the ball longer.
@Ghodbane Mohammed Hani KDB was tanked and most probably wasn’t fit . Look at why The defence collapsed not the subs
KARIM THE DREAM IS UNSTOPPABLE!!! HALA MADRID!
He’s been the best player this year but he was terrible today. All of his chances flew into the stands.
@@richardruan3378 He created a penalty, scored a penalty and provided a assist, hardly terrible
@@richardruan3378 would have been terrible if he was subbed off in the 70th minute. Football is 90 minutes. Today it was 120 minutes.
At this point I'm convinced that someone is using Real Madrid as a FIFA team, what great moments have they given us! Hala Madrid!
I can believe this... Viva Los Blanco's
Camavinga is my new favourite player, the way he runs with the ball is amazing, his vision, his passes, its all perfect.
Stevie is wrong on this one. As a fan of City, I for one cannot keep accepting my team failing apart at the last moment.
We almost lost to Atletico last time around. Enough is enough! $400 millions on a defence that keeps coming short on the biggest stage.
You know what the issue is here? The fact you’re a City fan.
£500 million in defense sir.. Time is catching up on Guardiola. This might be a trophy less season..

Real Madrid just doesn't give up till the end Rodrygo literally came and gave a different kind of energy on the field ancelloti is brilliant he knows how to manage those young players
I do agree Madrid were outplayed most of the time this season, but get Stevie out of this discussion. He's been saulty & his argument is rubbish for the 1st leg. Would rather listen to Ale, at least he's more logical
You can always you know... Not listen to what he says... Or watch some other show
@@doubleaa805 the cast of the show is excellent. It's entertaining & funny, but its just a turn off when Stevie & Frank keeps being saulty esp for every Madrid game. Ale, Don, Shaka, Dan, Kay, Gab, even Jules gave credit where it's due eventho it's unrealistic.
Yeah Ake deserves some credit, because last week he kept saying I’m going to go for city but by a smidgen, because you don’t count out Real Madrid and you have to kill them and beat them 10x over before they are actually dead or they’ll come back and hurt you
Stevie Nicol is literally crying bro, he’s dead and buried inside😂😂😂
That stevie man Is just jealous he wishes his team was like that cause we are magic. Hala madrid we are the best and the envy of all clubs
The final will truly be the clash of the mentality monsters. I am still amazed that Liverpool didn't bottle it last night but Real Madrid did something truly magical
Liverpool I think wins because it’s only one game if you look at two of the knockout stage games Real Madrid loses but I think it will be a great game I just think Liverpool have such a complete team with so many more weapons than Madrid which will show in the final
@@tonycollins9082 we knock them out last season we can do it again and I don’t want to hear anything else believe in my side
Liverpool arguably had it tougher. 0-2 down away from home and playing badly in the first half.

Can always count on Stevie to be so incredibly pro-premier league clubs when speaking about UCL. Perhaps the "never give up / till the dying minutes" mentality that Real Madrid have had for almost a decade is what actually makes them a better team than the likes of City and not just go on the biased-based notion of how they look on paper in a head to head comparison by player v player. Sheesh.
Imagine an ex English based player being biased towards English teams. Oh the shock.
Go watch Marca if you don't want English bias. You'll find all the love for Spanish teams on Marca.
No need for snarky sarcastic comments. Ps he’s neither physically based in England nor is he English. My point is as a pundit he’s consistently biased which in reality he shouldn’t be. He ought to give the due respect to Real Madrid for how they beat the French Champions, European Defending Champions and EPL defending champions. The comebacks and resilience of RM is amazing. Good day sir!
@@Vincentdeoliveira exactly.....im glad people are begin to realize....he saying psg should be criticized but man city shouldnt because things didnt go their way.....well what if things did go psg way , what then, he is just biased in certain things and im glad this madrid result shows that.
Stevie refuses to accept there is ever any reason to criticize Man City and Liverpool. Liverpool I can accept because he played there for years, but why is he so defensive when it comes to Man City? It's honestly annoying.
It happens to commentators in england france spain italy germany. Everywhere it happens and its annoying
City didn't outplay Madrid in either leg. City didn't look like scoring and Mahrez scored a beauty. But with the intro of Rodrygo and Camavinga that completely changed the game.
Hate city to the limit but brother in the first leg they missed so many sitters.
@@TheKhurram786s Madrid missed open goals and sitters in this game as well, yet there’s no mention of that at all.
City absolutely outplayed RM in the 1st leg.
Tbh in the first leg they did. But this game today, the match was 50/50. Don't know how these pundits can sit there and say madrid did not play anything throughout this match
@@tejaswinagpal4420 then how'd it end 4 3 if u outplay someone u win 4 null that's outplay
At this point RM is in a better position to win giving the path they took: PSG, Chelsea, and now ManCity. They were supposed to be bounced in the first round, yet here they are.
also Madrid can just wing it for the rest of their league season, while Liverpool will have to fight for every point in their race against City.
We scored six aginst them but people are still giving excuses. We don’t have the best side in this world at the moment but we are madrid. We own the ucl. Those oil clubs and the experts should learn to respect the badge. Yes we didn’t play some greatest match but we are still the winners.
And who scores 6 against Man City bro? But “Real Madrid are awful” wow these crazy pundits should just retire or resign really 🤣🤣🤣
Real Madrid carrying UCL all by themselves...Producing games of the season again and again
Liverpools game was just as good.
They lost against the most random club in the whole tournament (Sheriff) and decided to destroy all the big teams after that lmao
God bless Real Madrid what a CL season
Lmao Papa Perez be like UEFA YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT US
@@lyndoncmp5751 Liverpool are irrelevant outside your little english bubble
I love the fact that Madrid showed what Oil cannot buy and that’s character. The final should be incredible because now we have two teams who, for me, are the most historic clubs of all time.
Real this season are just incredible. May 28th is the most important date. The final won’t have 2 legs so they gotta figure it out. Can’t wait till next season with Mbappe and Rudiger.
Van dijk will destroy benzema…can’t wait until we get our revenge. This Madrid team is overrated, Liverpool have heritage unlike city we will get that A**
😂😂😂I stayed up until 1am after the match to watch these pundits take back their disrespect for Real Madrid.. But man these guys are stubborn, Nicol, wow! 😂😂
Those Carletto subs though 🔥, I remember Carlo was reluctant in using subs or overall changing the team in the first half of the season, now he has channeled that Zizou B team magic from 16/17, and it's been a dream.. Don't wake me

Always worth staying up to listen to these ones majita. After all, we are only subjected to your Brian Mathes 😂

If I could get any two players for my team - it would be Haalaand and Camavinga. Amazing player he is.
Stevie that ball into the box did not look desperate because it's very calculated to reach Benzema for him to get Rodrygo in his fresh leg to get ahead of the keeper. It came out of training ground, this is what people overlook, in desperate time you need precision to get goals and Real Madrid does this best, time and time again
Crazy to think that Ancelotti took a youth team (mostly) to a UCL final
A balanced team
Real Madrid af a good crop of talented youngsters, they are literally still kids. Incredible
With literal football war veterans and experienced players sprinkled throughout. Not to mention a coaching legend
When he says that real madrid were dead, does he mean to say the equal possession before those goals, does he mean the higher 1st half xg, does he mean equal no. Of shots, does he mean the higher overall xg and more no. Of big chances.
They are all just salty because all them underestimated madrid, even as a madrid fan, at 89th minute I thought it was all over, but still I was proud the way my team played because they had shown heart to win.
Bro these ESPN guy are a bunch of idiots
"Benzema has some things from Sterling"
Some BT Sport comentator probably.
Pep made some shocking substitutions he thought they were playing Aston Villa, you can't switch off like that
They wanted to sleep in the crucial moments and that’s when we grabbed by their neck and chopped their heads off.
The “they were dead, Dead, DEAD” from Ale still gets me everytime 😂😂😂😂
Liverpool and real madrid showed what it means to be a big club that is grounded in history and knows how to never give in. City is just playing so grate football
Yes, Liverpool came from 0-2 down away in a tough stadium.
They have a monstrous mentality. I've heard the phrase "Die to live" and it looks like it's made for them. To win against the current Real Madrid, Two goal difference isn't enough let alone one goal difference. You have to completely destroy them, take your chances, and step on them to win. Otherwise, you're doomed.
Same with Liverpool.
Madrid have lost 4 games in the CL already this season. Liverpool have only lost 3 games in total all season out of nearly 60 matches.
Realmadrid is the benchmark for any football club.
I don't know what game they did watch but in 2nd leg game was balanced real was able to play through the back and had fair share of possession and after the city scored Real had a go and city can't defend . The difference was when real Madrid needed the goal they got two in dying minutes of game but city were seen very unlikely to get a goal when they were behind
Y'all counted them out. I started watching this game at the 82nd minute and knew it was coming. I didn't think they'd get 3 but I knew it was going to extra time.
On that time..i stop watching .it
I actually think that City was playable for most part of the game yesterday. Their biggest chances came after the first goal when Real had to open up and they were very vulnerable at the back. But up to that point, it wasn't a game where City were that much superior, they probably have been a little more dangerous, but Real had their chances too. Even though they didn't have a shot on goal, they had chances, I mean for example Vinicius missed an open goal for christ sake.
So it was a surprisingly even game up into the first goal, after the first goal City dominated for 15 minutes but like guys said, they didn't bury Real and after the first Rodrygo goal that came from nowhere, the magic happened once again at Bernabeu. There are many things to improve in Real's game, but they certainly have a very unique fighting spirit and ability to rise up in moments in which you think they are already finished. Maybe it's not logical that they are in the final, but it's definitely not a coincidence.
City always look playable. Even atletico de Madrid looked dangerous on the attack when they were actually trying to score. Making city seem like the bus drivers in the second half of the second leg.
Very true. These teams (Liverpool and Manchester City) have been given so much praise that you forget they're playable. Liverpool conceded 5 goals against Benfica, 3 of them at Anfield.
If attacked, they do concede and the Liverpool fullbacks aren't great defensively, especially Trent and the pundits have Liverpool confidently winning the match. We should be grateful that the game isn't played in the Studio by analysts
@@ntokozohlatshwayo165 I praise Man City and Liverpool especially too, they play great exciting football. But everyone is playable.
True. The narrative that City had control in this match is false. They were superior, greatly in the first leg and marginally in the second, but they also were very fragile at the back and didn't take the sting out of the game on any of the FOUR (!) occasions they had a two goals lead. They have a mental fragility in this competition which is hard to explain.
@@MrMacbridemax I agree, City had as many oportunities to bury Real as you could ask for in UCL semifinal, but they also were vulnerable. People say Real took all their chances, but that's not really true, they missed a few too, but in the end they were just more clinical in those crucial moments.
First 70 minutes of second leg I was thinking that yes, City are slightly better in this game, but Real is also not playing badly and can win this game. Of course, after the first goal everything has changed, but they managed to come back from the dead anyway and Rodrygo almost completed hattrick in three minutes, which would be even more hilarious than as it is.
