Hart should have done better with those last two goals. After the way he kept them out at 0-0 that was poor showing letting in relatively soft goals.

He was expecting Kompany (I think it was) to deflect the final goal, but instead he ducked out of the way and the dip made it impossible to deal with wrong-footed. Awesome game though...

+1.

But you have to question why City sat back for so long when their players showed that they could have gotten something out of the game... Conceding so many shots on goal, Madrid were bound to score from some of them. Mancini should have gone at their defence more.

So Mourinho maintains his 100% record over Mancini...

It's an incredibly annoying aspect of the game that only serves to place undue pressure on the defence by allowing them to attack at you. I don't agree with it as I've seen the tactic fail as many times as it (luckily) succeeds. You also give yourself no opportunity for a counter-attack...

Exactly. Madrid were there for the taking, and with the quality that City have within their ranks, they could easily have won last night. That they scored two goals due to very shoddy goalkeeping should not be seen as much of a positive.

But, this is what I expected from Mancini. Long may he sail the blue boat of Manchester :)
 
Was a cracker of a game.

Let's hope for more tonight!

I am worried about our game tonight. Juve are rather awesome in central midfield, and we are extremely ponderous in that department. Unless RdM shocks the world and plays Ramires or Oscar- no wait, he just drops Lampard- we could be in trouble.
 
At least United have found a little form, even if it is with the youngsters and new signings...

Really hoping it is a cracker of a game and not just a waste of time. It's kind of amazing with Juventus going down 3 seasons ago, coming up immediately and then the next season winning the Serie A. Always liked them. But anywho, should be a good game.

1st time I suppported a team with the name Manchester in it and once again they disappointed. Should of really kicked Madrid's ass.

Was reading about the game the Madrid City game and came across this - thought it was hilarious...:D

Man City fans sang "you're just a $h!t Barcelona" Madrid fans sang back "you're just a $h!t Man United"
 
Anyone know of a site that actually streams the soccer?

I found a cricket one if anyone's interested.
