2-0 at half time, decent half. Nice finishes from Erling and Ray. Jeremy off injured, unfortunately. Currently lying sixth in the table.

Down the wire! Felt sure Real would equalise.

Big sigh of relief from Pep and the hierarchy.

Good 1st half. Iffy 2nd half but job done.

A frustrating second half from City. So many opportunities to score more were spurned. Tense at the end too as a Real Madrid equaliser would have seen us in ninth and in a play off. Just scraped straight through in 8th. Benfica's keeper actually scored a last minute goal against 9 man Real Madrid to win 4-2 and scrape into the play offs.

Just my thoughts as well at the game.

Pep was going nuts at our low intensity second half and careless passing. Last quarter we ceded control to Galatasary inexplicably. The best I can figure out is we took our foot off the pedal and Bernardo run out of steam (he was driving the team forward first half).

Doku was brilliant until his unfortunate injury.

Lovely seeing Sané and Gündoğa back.

Onwards and upwards. Have to improve a lot mind.

There is a strong possibility we will play Real Madrid in the next round FFS. Groundhog day
