Just got back. Don't care what time it is. What a great night. this might just help me get over Leverkusen last year
BTW has anyone mentioned the ref yet? I was up in the gods but some of his 'decisions' looked dodgy from even up there.

Thinking about Erikeen beating out Modric for that goal is going to make me smile for years to come.
THIS!!Let’s put this in context
TWO GAMES TO SPARE IN THE GROUP OF DEATH
Real Madrid 30 games unbeaten in CL group stages since 2012:before tonight,
It was also the first time in 9seasons they conceded more than 2 goals in the CL group stages.
Juventus 2008, 2-0
Plus they have beaten everyone at the Bernabeu in the CL group stage since November 2009. The only sides to avoid defeat at the Bernabeu since then were Dortmund and us.
That’s some form from them and a great achievement by us over 2 games you’d think
Yet according to ex Man City player Craig Bellamy tonight’s 3-1 defeat of the most successful CL/EC side ever wasn’t as good as City’s result at Napoli
Why?
Because of the”form” Napoli have been in recently.
Couldn’t make it up
That, but also the play from Winks that starts the counter. Most players aren't brave enough to pick that pass from the halfway line, but he did it in his own boxThinking about Erikeen beating out Modric for that goal is going to make me smile for years to come.
Here in the states, City was a pick em and Real were favored."It sounds crazy because it's Real Madrid and they haven't lost a group game in five years, but I felt if Man City could go to Naples and win that was a big win."
Yes Craig it does sound crazy, or perhaps 'fucking ludicrous' might be more accurate but I suppose you couldn't say that on telly. I'm sure everyone other than City fans think he has completely lost the plot.
This though. We bossed them obviously but to take the piss for over 5 minutes with constant Ole's?
