I thought City would win 4-1 before KO.
Laporte's 2 mistakes cost City big time tonight But the tie was lost in the first leg when City missed a penalty and failed to score.
Some poor defending and average keeping tonight made for an exciting game.
@JohnBoyUK, you must be chuffed, I know you have been busy with your new arrival but is it common knowledge among Spurs fans that Man City left their mark on the away dressing room after the 1st Leg?
Heard this from an insider at Tottenham that damage was done. I guess city aren't used to losing.

So first of all it wasn't offside and then, when proved it was, you are saying the rules are wrong?
Also, there is substantial evidence the call was wrong... he's offside!
Just admit you got it wrong.
PS- yeah, he was offsides.0 -

VAR can work but it’s not being utilised completing correctly IMO.
Cricket still gives the benefit of the doubt to umpires call whereas football isnt doing that.
Have to admit I don’t understand what Carly meant in their post though?0 -

Yids v Yids in the Semi against Ajax. Amsterdam will be fun & a warzone. We had 15,000 in Barcelona, we'll have more in 'Dam.0 -
In the end, if a team lets in 3 goals at home, that team has no one to blame but themselves for going out.

Pep is a great coach but Laporte made 2 bad errors tonight and not playing Fernandinho looks a poor decision.
I was convinced City would win by 3 clear goals so I'm still in shock.
Ajax have a great chance against Spurs in the 1st leg as Kane and Son will be spectators.1 -

You can't flag offside if its a hand or arm in other words. But a heel, arse, bollock, chode, chest, head or even a hair, then it's offside.
Why would you change the rule to the opposite basically making that an entire man has to be offside for it to be offside? If you did that goal hanging situations would be even worse with players holding a hand onside to gain an advantage on the opposition defender.1 -

It's either a drop then catch before or after the ball touches the floor.
It either landed in the court markings or it didn't...
You wouldn't have Hawkeye if ambiguity hadn't forced it to come in.
To say football is too subjective is incorrect, cricket and Tennis would have been treated similarly at the time and it's only through enhancing them with their fantastic tool that we can say things like 'they're easier to referee as there's no ambiguity.'
Football should be the same. Rules are rules and VAR helps ensure they're fairly applied.3 -
Sat down to watch the highlights on ITV and ... no highlights. What? Where was the game on? Were highlights on anywhere?0

That really was a fantastic game to watch for the neutral or for a Spurs fan. It was VAR that made it so exciting. Otherwise it would have been another case of "oh well, City win again with a last minute goal!". I'd rather have it the VAR way thank you very much, especially knowing that the right decisions have been made.1

Remember the ball was played back by Eriksen and flicked off the City player so he was facing the other way. I think that freeze frame is correct.0

You'd have to be some sort of superhuman team to win your domestic treble and the European Cup in the same season.
In fact, you'd have to be a grand old team to play for....

Hate hate hate hate hate away goals.
Better than a penalty shoot out, in my opinion.0 -
I'm not a massive fan of VAR in its current form, but for the first time last night I felt it actually improved the game - the drama was unreal! And ultimately every decision was correct0

That's 1 of the greatest games I've ever seen. It had absolutely everything & was helped by 2 poor defences0

Been the first time in a while I've been interested in the CL and the QF were brilliant entertainment too. It could be anyone's this year, spurs probably not so much.
I do think Barca will suit themselves against an opposition like Liverpool. Would be happy to see juve win it3 -
