Or do we just go with the idea he's lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes some of their talismans are ageing but, that doesn’t seem to be impacting performance levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have great experience, proven winners and some very exciting young players, plus a serial winner in Ancelotti. Plus - it is Real - in the Champs League - it's almost like their tournament and everyone else is invited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Should also be pointed out that City had a much, much harder route to the final than Liverpool. Inter, Benfica and Villarreal... It doesn't get much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that his time at City won’t be a complete success unless he lands the top prize. I think he’s said that himself too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 19 hours ago, SiJ said: They've completely lost it tonight...though Real have done this now three times against supposedly better teams. Grealish has been a disaster since he came on. Disagree completely about JG. He created 2 great chances for himself from nothing, after Mahrez scored. The first failed due to a desperate goal line clearance & the second clipped the keepers’ studs. The worst sub by a country mile was. ‘end of move Raheem’ The RM Midas touch in this tournament continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The atmosphere at frankfurt is fabulous The flares, the flags and the singing is a different level to anything in England and they can have a beer while watching the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how many pages the thread on here would be if there where flares like that at Hillsborough.....are we even allowed flags in the ground any more? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
