Manchester City v Real Madrid: Champions League last 16, second leg
81 min In comms, they discuss whether the Prem isn’t as good as we think, more on which in a second because Vinicius has fed a ball down the line for Mbappe, whose first touch takes him away from Ait-Nouri … who chases after him, pulling his shirt as he sets to shoot, then letting go. No penalty, says the ref, the defender doing just little enough to avoid punishment.
TL;DR
- Mbappe's involvement led to a shirt-pull incident by Ait-Nouri, but no penalty was awarded.
- Alexander-Arnold received a yellow card for yanking Marmoush back.
- Cherki's goal was disallowed for offside.
- Bernardo Silva's 2018-19 season was debated as potentially the second-best in Premier League history.
- Several changes were made to the lineups, including Mbappe replacing Diaz for Madrid and Ake and Guehi coming on for City.
- Haaland's recent form and City's tactics were discussed, with suggestions that the team setup may not suit him.
- Doku was praised for his improved performance and creativity.
- Lunin made several crucial saves for Madrid.
- Other concurrent match results were briefly mentioned, including Arsenal taking a lead and Chelsea suffering a heavy defeat.
