The control and passing ability at that level is just ridiculous.

I really fancy City to do it next week - they where not great in the final 3rd last night. Lots of over hit crosses and didnt really create too many clear cut chances. Real are very dangerous on the break but as above, their is a bigger game to focus on next Wednesday.
 
Good comeback by Man City last night.

Real Madrid's antics and blatant cheating is just a disgrace. How Carvajal didn't get booked either with his fouling, cheating or diving and then Kroos diving,

Real Madrid really are a scummy club.

Hopefully City beats them at the Etihad.

Kroos booking for his thigh high tackle on Gündogan could have easily been a red card and Carvajal should have been booked for any of the several fouls he committed and also for his play acting after he pushed Grealish into the advertisement boards.
 
About time Real Madrid took a pasting in the CL!

It's been coming for a little while now.

Safe to say Inter Milan will need to have the game of their lives to win the final...and even then, it may not be enough to stop this juggernaut.

The Bald Fraud is doing incredible things again...

Man Utd and/or Inter Milan to stop them winning the treble?

United SHOULD be playing out of their skins to try and stop it for their fans, but I do think City will do it. In a way it makes the FA Cup final even more interesting.
 
The bookies seem to think Man Utd have the best chance of stopping the treble.

Man City 1/5 to win CL
Man City 2/7 to win FAC

I do think if Man Utd have a fully fit squad, they have a chance. But we know, if the City players play their best game, then it doesn't really matter what the opposition do.

Well I think that’s probably fair. But as the odds reflect, unlikely in either case.

The only thing stopping City winning the treble I think could be lack of focus with the CL being a week later. They desperately want the CL and I bet deep, deep down some of them would sacrifice the FA Cup to be sure of winning it.
 
I do find it a little bizarre how a team in the CL final (who have clearly beaten top teams to get there - not to mention they were in the group of death at the start) are regarded as an easier opponent, than someone who was bombed out the Europa League and is currently fighting for a top 4 spot in the PL.

Maybe the bookies think there is a huge gulf in class between Premier League and Serie A?

And who could argue it?

It can only be for that reason, same with Real Madrid who’ve won it 14 times v City who haven’t at all, city were bookies favourite.

I presume you are talking about Man U? As its a derby it will be fiercely contested but who is saying Inter will be easy?
 
Inter will pull out all the tricks to try and win this game, it could be an Italian special - they are experts.

City will do the treble though

Yep, it will be catenaccio with an unprecedented dose of ****-housery on top. They will try to make it as far away from a football match as possible.
