R M ,got lucky on the night again, as against PSG, but I can't see them doing it again surely.

Man City to win it this year ! although I've been saying that for a few years !

Hey, Harl!

You can talk about luck, but what about the contrast in mentality in similar circumstances?

PSG saw a two-goal lead turned into a one-goal deficit and their heads dropped completely. Both Madrid and Chelsea found themselves in the same situation, but remained resolute and found a way back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
IOAG, I must admit, it was a great game, and well done to RM, but the guys I was with in Paco's Bar ,had all but given in and were not too friendly with me after Werner's goal !............
but they got the beers in after the game !

I wouldn’t have taken Werner off, thought he was fantastic and was pulling the RM defence all over the place.

Luckily the guys down the bar weren't the ones on the pitch!

I also think Carlo probably had a game plan they didn't. Of course you never intend to go 3 down before making subs, but he'd also have been well aware Madrid couldn't simply go out to trade punches against a side that had a vast physical advantage. Try to expend as little energy as possible and hold onto that lead (and it's fair to say Madrid also had chances to get on the scoreboard earlier in the game), and make sure to leave something for a tight finish.

In the event, that extra energy allowed Madrid to press those errors out of tired Chelsea legs. I don't know what might've happened if Tuchel hadn't waited so long to throw on some fresh legs of your own, but only he could say why he didn't.

Didn't think we played that bad last week honestly. Real the better team but a draw wouldn't have been unfair (1-2 probably would've been the fairest result).

But on balance over both legs no question we should've gone through
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You put up a great fight, but Madrid were ahead in the tie for 140 minutes and trailed for 5.

Teams play differently when they're ahead to when they're trailing. It didn't take Madrid much time at all to score when they needed to.
------------------------------------------------------
Hmm, that's kind of a good argument but it's not as if Real just walked through us is it? It took a pass from Modric that you could upload on P0rnHub to get them back in the tie

Real definitely had the best individual quality moments of the tie, I don't think anyone can try to argue against that tbh, but we were the better team & that's two years in a row I can say that vs. Real Madrid, and that alone considering where we were (in my mind) two years ago is staggering.
