And then when it was needed they had lads like Nacho and especially Rudiger jumping in.
City tried to pull them around but it's not like Palace and their low block, these boys were not for turning. Also in the extra time Real did fire a few warning shots to keep City honest.
Truth be told I don't like Pep as he just seems like a flase hoor.
To defend against that quality of player under that much pressure for so long and to not make any mistakes is hugely impressive. Carvahal and Rudiger are boys you would want in the trenches - they'd do well in GAA them boys. City were better but like someone said they didn't really create the chances.
The thing as well is City can completely change the type of threat they have -e.g. Doku on for Grealish going from someone who cuts inside to sheer pace - yet they still dealt with it.
Haaland was non existent too. Absolutely non existent.
Didn't watch it, listened to some on way back from game, but how many balls were played into Haaland, is he, this year getting the same support? Still joint top in the league, I know some clubs would love a 20 plus striker lol
Games against the better teams don't suit him, I think last night you could count on one hand how many times he touched the ball, Alvarez came on and was more involved straight away.
Flat track bully I think is the term needed for him
