    They're making Real Madrid look like part-timers

    This is the kind of atmosphere we need to generate on Friday!

    Nearly 25 minutes in and I don't think I've even seen Ederson yet... I reckon a chance will come eventually though. It's just what Madrid do in this competition!

    That save earlier from Madrid keeper was world class

    I've never seen a better team than this. Plenty of time to go, but it's football of the gods so far.

    He's such a weird one. Such a big game player, last year he made 11 saves in the final, and about half of them were world class. But in the league, he's a shadow of himself. Big game player like Drogba..?

    This will be interesting if Real are going to bring on ‘players with more legs’ :D:D

    Zero effort from Madrid to close the ball down though. Shameful really. Just stood there watching them pass the ball around. I'd be absolutely raging if that were my team. As soon as Madrid get the ball, City are right there on top to get it back.

    Walker has had Vinicius in his pocket for 135 minutes now over the 2 legs. Why doesn't Ancelotti put him on the other side? Even if Walker changes too he'll be on his wrong side. The only way they're going to come back from this is on the counter, through Vinicius. Rodrygo is a good player but not a patch on Vinicius. Be really surprised if he doesn't swap something major

    Amazed at the amount of room that city are being given on the ball. Real have underestimated this and can't handle it.
    Hope city go on to trounce them.
    Also hope our lads are seeing how they can do the same on Friday.

    Kyle Walker is such an underrated player. He’s top class.

    Some of these blatant body checks are getting ridiculous!

    I think he is too, mate. As a natural defender/footballer technically I don't think he's near the standard of elite (as in Cafu, Lahm, Thuram, etc), but that pace has elevated him up there. Can't fault his mindset or determination, he's worked extremely hard, and you have to be something special to keep your place under Pep for all these years. Doesn't matter how naturally gifted you are, if you don't put the effort in you'll get nowhere, and especially these days, there's loads more to football than just natural ability.
