Also how great was abolishing the away goal rule? We had an awesome champions league season!

Was there been some particular reason why the away goal rule was introduced in the first place? Was there some super defensive approach for away games at some point or so?

Pep hasn’t picked some bespoke weird formation either, going with what worked well the first leg


That aged wonderfully, again!

The funny part is also how incredibly weak Man City looked this game compared to the first, wonder if they are strong or Real just played really poorly in the first game.

I have got a question: So Pep decided to play Kyle Walker knowing he couldnt do full 90min and other managers usually do that too with vital players returning into the team right away.

Does it make much sense though? Knowing you field a player who cant do the full 90 - yes it brings stability the first 60 or so minutes but then you have someone on the field where the player himself knows he is just 2nd string, no time to get into the game. Because City lost yesterday as they were shocked and were not able to regather their mental fitness (which is understandable). Wouldnt it better to field someone inexperienced the first 60min, if you concede yes you still have time to score goals in return and once you are in a position where you dont want to concede any more goals you bring in the more experienced but not full fit player? Or if the replacement placed a good game, just leave him on the field and dont bring the not fully fit player in at all?

Me personally, I would do it the other way around like you said. Then this player can make a difference in the last 30+ mins
But who are we to question Pep's decisions.

My guess is he was really worried about Vinicius and used what he thought was his best player for the first 70 mins, hoping he would be tired and less effective by the end. Only Walker is fast enough to keep up with him.

It’s true though! Liverpool to win the final :p

That said this leg was considerably tighter and even, and Real showed their mentality once again when it counts.

Oh this is definitely not a criticism on Pep from me. I was just wondering how you guys think of this generally because I have seen it so often that not fully fit players return for a game and cant do the full 90 and imo the last 20min are where teams are the most vulnerable anyway and by subbing people off you make it even more vulnerable

I think Pep’s ordering was correct. I think it’s more generally the sensible order. In this particular instance the main job was dealing with the threat of Vinicius, who is young and fit but will tire over 120 minutes

If your 50/50 player is up to speed, great. If they’re not you have plenty of time to respond and make that change.

If you start someone else, bring on Walker and he breaks down quickly, or isn’t up to pace then you are running out of time (or subs entirely) to make that change.

I think if it’s a gifted attacking player you have who’s just returning from a niggle, you bring them on later when people are tired and more spaces emerge and hope they can do their magic.

I hope he starts Camavinga over Kroos in the final. Play Casemiro, Modric and Camavinga to put legs alongside Modric and two good tackling midfielders to help stop Liverpool counters. Kroos has been very mediocre in all the games for me and Real look better when he goes off and Camavinga comes on.

In situations like this it feels like City is still missing Kompany quite a bit. Having that kind of leadership, determination and grit is so good on those closing minutes.

I personally think the only problem they have is they have 0 true finishers at the club. If they get Haaland and keep him fit for 38 games of the season then they will be dominate. Their defense maybe does lack a leader but that can be bailed out due to the ability to out score teams as they create so many chances per game.

I would say they are same level as Frankfurt right? Produce some good players, have good spells in the league and in history etc.

But i wouldn't call them bad bad.

Yeah same. Frankfurt is 11th only because they dont give a crap about the league when they are in the semi finals of the EL ^^
