Wow, what a 1st half.

[KinkyKinkladze]

I can't quite believe what I'm seeing. Every single one of them magnificent. It's only 45 minutes but we've just taken the greatest club in football history to fucking school.

Please don't let up this second half city. Show no mercy. Show the world we're scared of no cunt.

[Kippax Sean]

A masterclass. Keep this going second half and it'll be one of our greatest performances in 50yrs. That recovery from Walker is one of the best bits of defending you will ever see.

KDB and Haaland on different wavelengths tonight

no they aren't? what areyou thinking?

[Whassat]

First half was unbelievable. Shame we couldn't put more goals in. But Cortois have been good.

Now we need to keep up, and not let RM in the game. They look shell shocked.

The best right back I've ever seen in my life time. An incredible defender.

[Indianablue]

Concentration, concentration , concentration. Real Madrid will go hammer and tongs for 15 mins of second half trying to get back into it. Got to hold firm and more of the same. They are not out of it yet

[Blue Jam]

Our finishing needs to improve. Haaland fluffed a few chances.
Somewhat relaxed with a 2 goal cushion but I'm not the sort to relax just yet.
Negativity aside, we have been mesmerising to watch and the crowd is doing a sterling job

Not completed a play once. There’s been three or four occasions and it’s either been hit too long by KDB or Haaland hasn’t quite made the right run. Not to say either are playing badly, they just haven’t yet clicked like we know they can

[Beefymcfc]

That was one fantastic half of football. Let’s see if we can equal it in the second.

I’m more concerned Madrid won’t be as poor

[mr_nool]

För being a short fella Bernardo really is a good header of the ball. He's got excellent technique and timing.

[Bluemoon16]

Can't believe what I'm watching.. Literally in tears. So proud of the lads tonight..

I used to think he was a scatter brain and only his pace got him out of trouble. But fuck me this season and last season he has been a phenomenon and definitely the best right back in the world at present.

They will come out all guns blazing. We need to ride the storm in out and hit them on the break.

[stevefromdonny]

need to be up for this 2nd half, keep playing like we have and keep going for them,

[Harry Dowd scored]

Got to be happy with that performance, big second half lads, come on City

I can’t see it, but we made them look it.

[ruralblue]

Is it just us older cunts who still can't settle. That 'typical city' is etched in our noggins.

Feel more nervous 2 - 0 up after 45 mins than at start of match.

COOME ON CITY

[Beefymcfc]

Need the crowd to be right up for this.
