Think I just saw Bale say "Get me back to White Hart Lane, this lot are shit"

I know they're 2nd in La Liga but Madrid look far from the elite team they're used to being. In fact, it's been similar for years in a sense, it's just that Ronaldo masked other shortcomings in the squad and galvanised everyone.

Pep finally got his tactics right in a CL knockout game, he always overthinks but got it spot on today. Barely conceded chances and created more. Yes stupid mistakes from Carvahal and Ramos twice but City deserves the win

Zidane is a fraud, got exposed today

If City doesn’t go through now they have to be banned 10 years instead of 2

Real really aren’t the side they were. Relying on individual brilliance that isn’t there anymore. Luka past it a bit, no Kroos and of course, no Ronaldo

How many Real players would get in City's side? Arguably none.

I would argue Sergio Ramos and Carvahal but they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.

I want to see City win the Cup.... And still get banned.

I can't see us going any further, and really don't care if City have bought their way to the top but I want UEFA to stick to their decision for football's sake.

I hate it when people call managers frauds. You don't win three CL titles on the trot while being a fraud.

Zidane isn't a master tactician and has never claimed to be one. He had Ronaldo, set the team up to bring out Ronaldo's very best and relied on the individual quality of his players.

He knew Real wasn't ready for life without Ronaldo, he knew the squad was getting old, that's why he quit in the first place. What he is is a fool for accepting to go back when none of the issues had been fixed in the time he was away.

Fool? Don't know. If they beat Barca on Sunday, and they are well within their capability to do so, they have an open door to the La Liga title. Not too shabby.
