Champions League UCL
What went wrong for Real Madrid in Champions League?
Real Madrid fans claim the team itself started to take the ‘UCL heritage’ banter seriously. It wasn’t heritage that won them last year. It was Benzema who dragged them to the final and Courtois who won them the final. In fact if it wasnt for Courtois, this would have been 7-0 easily. And with Benz missing, the real real madrid showed up. SportsFila hears Madrid fans are still waiting for the comeback.😁
Real Madrid fans saw their side being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Manchester City. The elimination was not nearly as disappointing as the manner of it. Los Blancos were played off the park in the second leg, losing 4-0. And the scoreline could have been much worse, if not for the heroics of Thibaut Courtois in goal.
For the most part, the elimination should not have come as a major surprise. We have seen this side struggle throughout the course of the season.
Real Madrid Could Sack Carlo Ancelotti
They might have won the Copa del Rey, but did not even get close to competing with Barcelona for La Liga, dropping points left, right and centre. And away in Manchester, it became clear that they were not nearly as good as Pep Guardiola’s team right now.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport: “At home we feel incredible comfort with our people.
“I had the feeling that we had one year being in our stomach what happened last season. I think today everything went out of what we had, it was so painful last season [losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League]. When the people say lack of character in these players but during one year we showed how special a group of players these are.
Real Madrid is the most dangerous club in the world
“When you reach the final of the Champions League you have to celebrate. Unfortunately we won’t have time because Sunday we can win the Premier League. Tomorrow will be with our families then prepare for Sunday.
“The players were outstanding. In this type of stages, in these types of games Bernardo is always there. He is one of the best players I have seen in my life.
It’s easier to say what didn’t go wrong for them. Im a Barcelona Bayern supporter. I can appreciate Madrid and what they’ve done for the game and enjoy watching Carlos brilliant mind at play. don’t crucify them over reaching a semi , man city is the better team this season, by miles, that’s what happend. they will be back and stronger as Madrid always do. Have some respect.. this is why pundits arent respected to well in the footballing world
Haaland Hoping for Ballon d’Or After Taking City Champions League Glory
I don’t know if people don’t watch Madrid or because they are so good at winning games while getting outplayed for 90% of the game, they forget how little tactics they have. Ancelotti did the same thing he has been doing since arriving at Madrid, he sits back and tries to counter, he did nothing differently, the difference today was that city was able to take most of their chances.
Nothing went wrong for Real Madrid, Manchester City are far too good to be handle by Madrid inside City. Let’s look at last season what they did at City and in Madrid for a return league they just mess up and that was why they brought in Hallan as threat and distraction for the opponent
Man City Beat Madrid in Champions League Rounds
Madrid always saved by senior player like Benzema, Modric, Kroos and Casemiro. They basically don’t have style of play or philosophy, they basically relied on connection between those senior player. The time arrived when those player have declined and cant perform on the highest level again, sources tell SportsFila.com.
This is big warning for Madrid, they need to get rid off some old player and have to appoint coach with philosophy. Otherwise things gonne get worse next season.
Real Madrid must sign Liverpool hero this summer
It is not often that world-class players become available as free agents. But as reported by Liverpool’s official website, Roberto Firmino will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer.
Firmino is a superb player and has been key to the success that Liverpool have enjoyed under the management of Jurgen Klopp in recent years. It is not just goalscoring that he brings to the table but the ability to improve those around him. He is one of the biggest reasons why the duo of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane was so prolific for the Reds.

Europa League Awaits Liverpool or Man United
3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.
Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm
Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.
7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time
As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit
Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.
David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United
As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.
I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.
Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know
Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.
Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?
Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk
United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.
If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.
Tottenham Topping the Premier League table
It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.
He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.
Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.
Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland
Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.
What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?
The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.
We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
