I’d like to see Wirtz’s heat map for that half - he’s been everywhere!

A free kick for handball outside the box for handball ends in Madrid getting the ball back to the keeper.

Make it make facking sense.

Best football we played all season, solid defensively, dangerous in attack and Wirtz looks like he's finally settling in plus Bradley looks back to his best.

Excellent performance so far and let's not forget R Madrid have only lost 1 game in all comps this season.

Very good half.

Two bizzare pen decision.

The robbo one looked like a pen.

They basically said it was not a handball so no fk/pen

Really? Thought he got the ball first ( then trod on him lol)

On the pen...I actually agree with the ref. I didn't think it was a pen at all, yes hit the hand but the player can't take his arm off

We do lack pace on the counter that’s all id say. Wirtz has done well in that free Role, but we definitely need to look at replacing Diaz in the summer. Miss his pace and dribbling.

Isak be back soon

Wirtz needs to stay on the left. We need a Salah replacement who is quick. I keep banging on about balance and in my opinion we can't play Wirtz through the middle.

Love to see Wirtz get a goal, the place will go nuts

Should have been a corner to us then

Or at least our ball back, how the hell do we not at least get the ball back when an opposition player has blocked a shot with his hand?

We probably still lose get caught on the counter but just shows if a team comes to play football we were than a match. We just cant handle stoke tactics

Wirtz is having a free role when we have possession but plays on the left when we have to defend.

They’ll probably fluke a win but Madrid don’t look any better than last season to me.

Very odd situation. I can understand a penalty award being overturned given the position of the defender’s hand but, surely having awarded a free-kick the penalty should be awarded??? Given the offence occurred in the box.

Love to see Rio come on in this game

Agreed … but Rangers got a pen on Sunday for an even more unavoidable “handball”, with the Celtic defender’s arm glued to his side as he was falling, having been pushed over by a Rangers player.

Bradley been excellent so far

Need to keep our defensive focus, only takes one Konate brain-fart for them to score.

This keeper ffs

Oh look, wirtz can play on the left
