Jamie Carragher has beaten Manchester City supporters for contradicting Real Madrid prior to the Crunch Champions League play-off second stage of next week.
City was defeated 3-2 on Tuesday evening on Etihad when Jude Bellingham hit a late winner for Los Blancos, but while the two parties walked onto the field before they walked the kick-off, the home fans revealed a banner of Rodri who the Ballon D kissed or an attempt to rattle the Real cage.
The display was also 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' – a clear message to both Vinicius JR and Real Madrid, who closed the Paris ceremony of October after he learned that the Brazilian winger had lost the main prize.
Carragher wrote on X: “Let's pick Real Madrid, although we still have to go to the Bernabeu next week,” accompanied by a spirit -blown emoji.
He also said about the five-target schedules during the coverage of CBS Sports: “It is absolutely ridiculous, why would you do that? I know I have a joke and a joke … But what do you win? Even if it is the Being fans, why annoy someone?
'I don't know what you get out of it, what do you win from that? It's not funny tonight, right? I just don't like it. You know what, if I was a man a city player … if I were to come out and said that Steven Gerrard had won the balloon d'or and we played Real Madrid and he had defeated one of their players, that would me Annoy as I was a Liverpool player. It's like a Jinx, I don't like things like that. “
The players of Real Madrid, however, issued the perfect reaction, because they will now take an invaluable lead to the Santiago Bernabeu prior to the decision maker next Wednesday.
Against TNT Sports Brasil after the game, Vinicius JR admitted that the banner encouraged him and explained: “I see it, I see the banner, but when the opposite fans do things, they give me more power to play a great game And here I did it.
“They know our history, everything we do in this competition. It is the fifth time we have come, it is always very cold, but this time we have won and we have to continue with this line.”
Erling Haaland had put the city twice, but the second half of Kylian Mbappe, Brahim Diaz Plus Bellingham's stop time winner ensured the victory for the holders.
