I have a fiver on City more in hope than expectation. To be honest, I think Real will be far more clinical and professional on this stage, and take it 1-0.

Mancini has chosen 3 at the back/wing backs yet again. This may be seen as risky, particularly considering Maicon's inclusion, when faced with all of Real Madrid's attacking players.

City at 2/1 looks tempting.

It really doesn't. Even if Tevez was starting.

MagicMarker

City got to go for it, will probably concede a fair few...

3-4 Real.

With silva back city are a much better team, I fancy them, I throw 20 snots on them anyway.

Fancy Madrid big time. City line up looks very open.

Here we go, hopefully Francos boys will leave COMS after receiving a good thrashing tonight.

Super-Rush

Mancini to be the next manager in the dole queue.

We are top of the table and defending champions?

How was that not a yellow for Zabaleta

MagicMarker

Too easy.

Benzema goal

Maicon at fault.

Maicon shocking defending

Mushy

Shocking defending

Yakult

Terrible defending by City

Havermeyer

Jesus. Where the hell was the marking?

Awful defending.

ctrl-alt-delete

Lol at Maicon.

adox

Christ how easy was that?

ollaetta

Shocking defending. Goodnight City.

Clucking bell Maicon, wtf were you doing there, no point putting your arms up there.

GreeBo

Oops.
Could Hart have come for that? (even though its clearly a sleepy moment by Maicon)

RandolphEsq

Absolute rubbish from Maicon. Benzema has been sharp with his runs so far even when the pass hasn't come off

Sugarlumps

All too easy for Madrid.

Havermeyer

I reckon it would be worth putting a few quid on a redcard in this game.

MagicMarker

Ah Jesus! Should have been 2.

ollaetta

Hamilton you numpty. Cointreau is a French liqueur, Coentrão is a Portuguese footballer.

Darkglasses

OOOOOF!

Well done Nastasic. That was a freebie

Xavi6

This is gonna be bad

applehunter

Seriously Ronnie Whelan.

Stop moaning.

adox

Madrid should be out of site. City all over the shop. Funnily enough Madrid might regret these early misses. City can't continue to defend so bad.

karma_

Keystone cops stuff from our defence, well played Nastasic.

You mean great. This is gonna be great!

Maicon massive liability against CR. Whatever we paid for him it was too much.

If it is, the fact we miss out the europa will sweeten the pill.

RandolphEsq

What a counter attack!

Turtyturd

Funny watching the City fans boo Ronaldo at every touch until he pulls off a trick and they all go 'oooohhhhhh'.....stay consistent lads.

Never? That's a long time.

Rude teen save

Is it half time yet?

RandolphEsq

good turn, good shot, good save.

Its when a team goes from defense to attack in a quick movement

Finishing bottom is definitely preferable to third so a defeat here won't be all bad.

Thats a reflection on how poor the Premiership has become.
City are being given a football lesson yet again tonight.
Boys against men .

Rayne Wooney

Ronaldo going for the spectacular instead of just toe poking it in

Has Modric been getting picked over Ozil often this season, or is Ozil being 'rested'?

Sorry I should have explained myself better.

I meant never do it on the big stage as long as Mancini is in charge.

BorneTobyWilde

WALKED ON THROUGH DEFENSE :eek:

Nemanja91

And to think that's their defensive midfielder.

klose

Ronnie having a field day! Madrid forgot their shooting boots, should be 3 or 4

Pompey Magnus

Madrid treating City with contempt at this stage instead of just getting the job done.
