Are we better than Real Madrid?

[1973Blade]

Afterall, we only lost by three goals to Manchester City in our semi final against them!

 

[The Hobott]

Yes

 

[FTPE]

Seems that way

 

[Westran]

Yes

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Maybe Real Madrid will swap all their players for ours now

 

[Digs blade]

Why would we take them

 

[100% part time blade]

City were fairly poor in front of goal - and/or Courtois was excellent - otherwise it would have been 7 or 8 nil.

Sheffield United. Real Madrid. Golf. In that order

Yes yes yes and quite frankly yes

 

[Cappy]

1-11 I wouldn’t swap any of ours for theirs

I thought golf was before Real Madrid, Sheffield United's first place never in doubt.

 

[Charlieblade]

Losing is still losing, and the goals cored by Man City were at home, against an aging Real Madrid side.
Real Madrid were two down at half time.
Haaland didn’t score in either game, agains us or Real Madrid.
Don’t think we will play against Real Madrid next season, unless we get them in a pre season friendly!

As our neighbours might say we're massively better. But thankfully we're not as much up our own arses as them. So we'll see when we play them in the CL, season after next

 

[coaxingstar71]

After watching that tonight it did make me think that actually we did alright against them. We should have even been ahead after 2 minutes, whereas Real hardly touched the ball in the first half.

Pound for pound, yes, obviously.

 

[RealMcCoy]

The facts don’t lie.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

The Benzema v McBurnie debate just won't go away

Yes. The numbers don't lie.

As anyone who follows Mcburnie on Instagram can see, he has a lethal shot on him!

Is that one of clips when he went to see Elle Brook?

This is a very honest opinion. I rarely watch Champions League as I generally don’t enjoy the football.

But I’ve watched the two City Semi Finals and I’ve been impressed by City.

I’ve been completely unimpressed by Real Madrid though.

I’m talking about the behaviour, not the talent on show. We all know that the players are elite because the TV channel with the rights will tell us (just like Sky fawn over Peterborough)

Some the behaviour in the first leg by Madrid players was disgusting. Dirty tricks and conning the ref. They did it again last night but not as effectively and Man City just focussed on the game. First leg, City got drawn into it a bit and Madrid took charge.

But as soon as City stuck to their game and ignored the way Real were playing it seemed an easier game for them.

I’d stop going to Blades games if we ever got this way

That's right, has to be the season after til we have a champions league spot. I hate waiting.

Agreed. Didn't see last night's game, as I was out, but in the first leg Carvajal in particular was a disgrace. Not sure how he wasn't sent off.

They know how to get away with it because they’re Real Madrid and everyone expects them to be like little angels…

1-11 I wouldn’t swap any of ours for theirs

it was 4-0 City, not 11-1 to Real.




I’ll get mi coat.
