Is there any doubt that this is the championship being played in the quarters?

I'll doubt it.

City should be winning this handily.

RM should've been eliminated by Leipzig.

Yeah, another quality team like…checks notes…Leipzig would have been closer to a championship.

Don't get me wrong… I think Leipzig would fare even worse against City (style of play).

My point is that RM isn't all that special this year (likely due to injuries and aging stars) so this definitely isn't the de facto championship game.

All that said… RM probably advances on pens, and I'll be ok with that.

Man Ciry dominated this game but doesn't have the killer Instinct

To be fair RM got 1 up and played 99% defense for 99% of the game

And they looked the same (or even worse) after City equalized.

If they were capable of going toe to toe they wouldn't have been parking the bus to play for pens.

This is an exercise in how not to take kicks.

I agree. Ancelotti is using rodrygo and vini up front and they aren't strikers. Bellingham covered up a lot early on.

I don't know how Ancelloti does it. How do you take a team that is used to playing with the ball and have them defend like that for 120 minutes? It's not pretty to watch. But holy *****

I'm just saying. A lot of people really don't understand how difficult it is to get a team to play completely against their nature and hold up.

Why is it undeserved? Because RM played a defensive game instead of trying to match Man City's attack?

Ancelotti played a game that gave his team the best chance to win. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Giving up possession is one thing.

Giving up 33 shots and 9 on target definitely isn't any coach's plan.

This. I'm a Madrid (and Ancelotti, for that matter) fan, but City dominated and deserved to move on today. The numbers don't lie... Relax.

old scoring method they don't win, they lose on away goals...

but they got it done and City has all year given up soft goals and it bit them in this match



I think RM has a pretty good chance to win it all. Bayern isn't special. PSG? maybe

If we were still under away goals, that first match would not have been played that way. So it's irrelevant.

England went from strong favorite to get a 5th CL spot to not possible to get a 5th CL spot in 2 days.

It's still mathematically possible, but very unlikely.
