Good afternoon everybody and a most sincere welcome to the FIA headquarters here in Dublin. My name is Barry Colfer and I'm the director of research here. I'm really pleased to welcome you all here to this event in person and those who are joining online welcome. We're delighted to be joined today by Laham Pesh, who's professor of law and dean of law and head of school at the Southern School of Law at UCD. And Professor Pesh has been good enough to take his time out to be with us at a very busy time. I believe today is the last teaching day of term. So to grab a professor now at this time of year it really is greatly appreciated that you can take the time out. And of course UCD was my alma as well so it's really great to connect. As ever the online attendees will be able to participate in the discussion once Professor Pesh has finished his opening remarks and you can do so by using the Q&A function on Zoom. And a reminder that today's presentation and Q&A are both on the record. And please feel free to participate in the discussion using the handle on Twitter slash X at IIEA. So I'm going to briefly introduce Professor Pesh and also I haven't done so already all the discussion is on the record. Professor Pesh specializes in EU public law and is lectured in a variety of subjects including EU constitutional law, EU internal market law, EU competition law and European human rights law. Apart from his role as professor of law at UCD, Professor Pesh is a visiting professor of law at Bordeaux University, a senior research fellow at the CEU Democracy Institute in Budapest and the co-director of the Good Lobby Profs which he co-founded in 2021. From 2018 to 2022 Professor Pesh was a member of the Verizon 2020 funded four-year multidisciplinary research project on reconciling Europe with its citizens through democracy and the rule of law. He is currently a member of the editorial board of the Hague Journal of the Rule of Law, a member of the advisory board of Reclaim, the Human Rights NGO based in Brussels, and a member of the international advisory boards of GEM DMON which is another horizon funded project, Residio and many, many other things which I could mention. Is CEU still based out of Budapest? I'm incorrect to say that, right? It's been relocated so forgive me. Thank you very much to my team for preparing the notes and for setting up today as well. And apart from that minor oversight regarding the CEU and being in Budapest, I apologize and hand over to you Professor Pesh. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much and you're actually not wrong regarding the CEU. Actually part of what I'm going to talk about today when it comes to attacks on academic freedom but there was an attempt to expel the university from Budapest but it failed at least to some extent. All of the students have been relocated to Vienna but the building is still left in Budapest and we have some research aspects there but the building is 90% empty. It shows you actually that's a good example of the EU acting in a too little too late fashion because damage had been done and damage could not be remedied by the time the commission had won the litigation in Luxembourg. But I'll return to this dimension of litigation to protect the rule of law. So today I'm going to speak for about 20, possibly a bit more. There is a lot to be said sadly about the undermining of the rule of law in the EU for the past 10 years. So this is not going to be an uplifting talk I'm afraid so just bear with me. You can ask me essentially about potential solutions during the Q&A. What I'm going to do is give you another view at least my thinking on the topic of the undermining of the rule of law in the EU in the past 10 years. So let me begin essentially by drawing your attention to possibly what is the most important set of judgments from the court of justice regarding the rule of law and I'm talking about judgments issued in 2022 by the Court of Justice in response to two annulment actions lodged by the Polish and Nongaian governments in respect of the so-called EU rule of law conditionality regulation. If I'm being a bit too technical possibly just feel free to ask me a follow-up questions at the end. I'm going to assume a fair amount of legal knowledge possibly excessively so but I'll try to keep it as simple as possible. But why am I mentioning these two judgments in today's lecture or presentation? Because it's more important that the two judgments the arguments raised before the Court of Justice were quite unprecedented from a rule of law point of view. For the very first time in the history of EU law we had two EU national governments denying that the rule of law is a legal concept which can be enforced by the EU institutions. This was very unexpected very surprising because the rule of law has always been viewed as a legal concept in EU law at least which can be enforced can be the subject of legal actions. And why is it so surprising because these two countries joined the EU at a time where access to the EU and continuing membership of the EU were both formally conditioned on respect with the rule of law. So they were essentially backsliding on their prior treaty commitments not only in terms of challenging the concept of the rule of law they were essentially openly acting in defiance of their treaty commitments. The two judgments issued by the Court in response to these two legal actions are worth reading in full but it would take you, it took me about a day just to read the two of them and this is what I do on a day to day basis. It's worth it but it would take possibly an entire weekend to do so. As far as the concept of the rule of law is concerned the two judgments are very good from my point of view because the Court of Justice just as never before actually not in this way not as explicitly and not as powerfully the Court of Justice confirmed as expected that the rule of law is a legal concept is a legal concept which which can be the subject of legal actions. It does contain legally binding obligations which Member States must comply with if they don't they can be sanctioned by EU institutions. According to the Court of Justice and this is a phrasing which is worth noting the rule of law forms part of the very foundation of the EU and its legal order. For the very first time the Court of Justice also use a verb which he had never used in this context before the verb to defend. According to the Court of Justice, EU institutions have a duty and obligation to defend the rule of law within of course the limits of the powers allocated to the EU by its Member States. At the end of the day it's important to remember that the EU duty to defend the rule of law is a duty given to the EU by the Member States themselves so the Member States can hardly complain if the EU actually does defend the rule of law. This is the mandate it got from the Member States themselves. These judgments were issued in a broader relatively I would say from a lawyer's point of view keen on the rule of law as a legal principle in a relatively I mean not relatively very worrying context. In the EU in the past 10 years as I will outline we have faced we have seen increasing authoritarian developments so it's not simply that the rule of law was challenged by two authoritarian governments. From a conceptual point of view, we have seen a number of governments essentially engaging or implementing authoritarian policies. The President of the Court of Justice himself referred to authoritarian drafts in an article published this year in the Columbia Journal of European Law. This is the first time as far as I know that the sitting president of the Court of Justice of the EU, President Lenard's, referred to authoritarian developments in some EU Member States which he did mention for obvious reasons. This is not the first time President Lenard's essentially rang the alarm or raised the alarm rather. In 2021 in an extrajudicial intervention, something which was aimed at the other EU institutions, the President made an unprecedented warning or issued an unprecedented warning. He said I'm stating here that the foundations of the EU as a union based on the rule of law are under threat. So that was 2021 and he had it in the same speech. The very survival of the European project in its current form is at stake. So this was never been stated as such. This was a very blunt warning aimed at EU institutions. A few months before an unprecedented phrasing was also used by another judge or an advocate general of the Court of Justice, advocate general Bobak. This time in the context of a formal case originating from Poland, I'm not going to mention the details of the case. What is particularly worth noting is the expression he used in his formal opinion in this case. The advocate general Bobak warned about the emergence of legal black holes within the EU legal order. This was, I mean, it's a very strong blunt phrasing very rare to see in the context of a formal case. These worries about rule of law backsliding, authoritarian drifts are not simply peculiar to EU judges. In fact, in 2019, before these warnings originating from EU senior judges, the presidents of three European judicial networks wrote to the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. In the letter to the president of the European Commission, they alerted her to the dismantlement of the principle of separation of powers between the judiciary and the executive in several member states. They stated in the letter that judicial independence was being dismantled as we speak. This was also unprecedented in terms of the blunt language being used about authoritarian developments happening in a number of member states. Looking beyond the EU, I can also refer to two extrajudicial interventions by the last two presidents of the European Court of Human Rights. In 2022, President Spano spoke of a Europe in which the rule of law is at risk of disappearing. In the speech by Robert Spano, then president of European Court of Human Rights. There were multiple references to the situation in Poland, especially. Earlier this year, President Schiffrauer-Leary, a UCD law graduate, if I may add in passing, explained that, again in a public statement, explained that some of the fundamental values enshrined in the Convention are under threat. And she referred in this context to instances of democratic erosion in transitional and consolidated democracies. And she mentioned also rule of law backsliding in a number of EU countries. More recently, in fact, just last month, I saw a draft report from the European Parliament. So it's not yet adopted, but most likely due to be adopted in the next few months. This is the first time I've seen potentially official reports from the European Parliament warning about the EU possibly becoming a lawless zone due to increasing unashamed violation of EU law by some member states in a number of fields such as EU asylum law, EU sanctions law and EU human rights law. So as you can see, this is a rather bleak diagnosis, which is widely shared across many judges, or in fact, I would say that's the consensual diagnosis as far as I can see from the most senior judges in Europe, both within the EU and within the Council of Europe framework. The problem is that these repeated warnings have been mostly ignored by the two most powerful institutions, and I'm in here the European Commission and the Council of the EU. This is deeply problematic because this is not simply the diagnosis of judges. There is now increasing evidence. If you look at multiple rule of law and democracy indexes, I'm not going to name them all. I don't have time. But there is accumulating evidence that democratic and rule of law backsliding in the EU is not simply gaining an intensity, but it's also spreading beyond the usual suspects, meaning Poland and Hungary. This was a bit unexpected if you take 2012 as your departing point, because in 2012 not many people remember this, but the EU won the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize for advancing and promoting human rights and democracy in the world. Ten years later, 2022, the two countries in the world which had dismantled checks and balances the most rapidly in the world were Poland and Hungary. So within the space of ten years, the EU became a place where the EU was seen as promoting human rights to a place where democracy, human rights and the rule of law were quickly dismantled. This process of dismantlement of checks and balances was so intense. The breadth of it and the intensity was such that in 2022, for the very first time in the history of the EU, one of the main EU political institutions, the European Parliament, described one EU member state as no longer being a democracy. This is deeply problematical, not only for those living in this country, but also from a legal point of view because technically, if you read the treaties, only democratically elected governments can participate to the EU's decision-making processes. We have a formal resolution of the European Parliament describing Hungary as an electoral autocracy. So no longer a democracy. And technically, if you're not a democracy, you cannot belong to the EU. I could multiply the number of examples where we have seen patterns of backsliding in other EU member states, less, I suppose, intense, less breadth. But sadly, there has been an increasing number of EU countries facing the same kind of pattern, the same type of blueprint being attempted by a number of elected authorities. In a recent report by known as the VDM annual democracy report, six member states are identified as being subject to backsliding patterns. Taking 2019 as a departing point, it has been identified as one of the worst backsliders in the world in terms of dismantling democracy, human rights and the rule of law. So for the period 2019-2022. I could also mention the situation in Romania and Bulgaria, but essentially here there is less backsliding, simply lack of improvement, even though Romania was actually subject to intense backsliding between 2019 and 2022. So as you can see, backsliding is happening in an increasing number of countries. Now, what do I mean in more concrete terms by backsliding? Essentially, I cannot really give you the full picture because it's a multifaceted issue or trend or pattern. One of the most concrete manifestations and something which is actually quite new and deeply worrying for a lawyer. One of the most concrete manifestations these days of backsliding or aka autocratization is increasing non-compliance with judgments from both the Court of Justice and judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. This is quite new. It was not as bad 10 years ago. What is new as well is not simply that the judgments from both courts are openly ignored, is that in some cases, in some extreme cases, the violation of the rule of law judgments of both courts are legalized under domestic law by local authorities. So it's not simply that they're violating without telling anyone about it. They're actually formalizing the violation and argue, just to give you an example, that they do not have to recognize rule of law judgments from European courts as binding because it would allegedly not be compatible with their understanding of their country's constitutional identity. That's one of the regular arguments you can hear now. So the concept of constitutional identity is being misused by those violating the rule of law. You can have more countries, sadly, if you look at the violation of judgments from both courts beyond the area of the rule of law. But I'm only focusing on rule of law judgments from both courts because essentially this is a systemic dimension. Once the independent courts have been dismantled, then you can essentially transform your country into a soft dictatorship without any constraints. So this is why lawyers tend to focus on the rule of law because essentially that's a safety net in every democratic system. You remove the rule of law, then the safety net is gone. I'm also focusing on violation of judgments from both the Luxembourg and the Strasbourg courts, but usually those violating judgments from both courts also disregard or violate judgments from domestic courts. And what they tend to do as well is while they're violating domestic judgments, they're also attempting to replace lawful judges with what I have described. It's not a very nice expression, but I think there's no better way to describe them as fake judges or kangaroo courts. Even though I'm telling you about non-compliance with judgments, rule of law backsliding actually goes beyond simply attacks on judges and courts, either in a formal way or in informal way. In fact, what we have seen is that those undermining or engaged in autocratization processes tend to also target very quickly not only judges, but also prosecutors, lawyers, academics, civil society groups, and journalists and media organizations. Once they have targeted or bullied into submission these groups, then what they tend to do is organize the capture of all the regulatory bodies, including electoral bodies. The long-term aim is to neutralize, to make sure that by the time you have elections in the relevant country, they're no longer fair. So essentially the electoral framework has been structurally rigged, so it's impossible to lose the next elections. This is why rule of law backsliding has to happen at a very fast pace. You want to make sure that you have captured the system by the time elections have to take place. This is also taking place usually in a context where the ruling party or the ruling coalition of the relevant country will attempt to misappropriate a state and EU funding with the view of creating a local oligarchy and using the support of this oligarchy essentially to maintain what is the facto and autocratic system of government. So when you view in this light, I think it's difficult to be difficult to disagree with the diagnosis or at least not pay sufficient attention to the warning expressed by the President of the European Court of Justice about autoita and drifts. And he said, and I think I have decided to agree, we are now at a point where essentially we could see the rule of law being replaced by the rule of lawlessness to borrow the expression he used earlier this year. It did not have to be that way. And now I'm going to tell you about EU's action, or should I say inaction, or procrastination. As early as 2013, the European Parliament issued a very important report regarding Hungary already in relation to then the consolidation of power by Mr Orbán already in those days. If you read the report from this report in 2023 and you can see that in fact the European Parliament diagnosed the situation very well. Everything the Parliament predicted did happen. Sadly, every single recommendation made by the Parliament to the Commission and the Council were simply ignored. There were some few legal actions initiated by the Commission resulting in legal wins. But essentially this were just at the margin of the consolidation of power process undertaken by Mr Orbán. So they did not in any way slow down this consolidation of power. In 2015 the Parliament again warned the Commission and Council that their inaction or procrastination would lead to backsliding, spreading to other member states beyond Hungary. By the end of 2015 the Parliament was proven right with Poland essentially implementing exactly the same autocratic playbook first implemented in Hungary. This was in no way surprising. You just had to read the public statements of Poland's de facto leader. In 2011 he used the famous expression. He said the day will come when we will succeed and we will have Budapest in Warsaw. That was 2011. So I mean there was nothing surprising about him implementing Orbán's autocratic playbook at the end of 2015. And yet nothing was done by the Council and the Commission. For almost 10 years there was little meaningful action from the two powerful EU institutions I've just mentioned. Only last winter for the very first time we saw meaningful action in the form of EU funds being suspended to a large extent in direction as far as Poland and Hungary were concerned. However, it was only a matter of time before this new resolve would be subject to be tested. And you just have to read the news. Actually I was reading the news this morning about the suspension of funding. Essentially what we are seeing now is Mr Orbán engaging in extortion tactics and using or threatening to use his veto regarding Ukraine. Should he not regain or regain access to the funds which have been suspended on a rule of law grounds. Sadly, everything seems to indicate that the Commission will positively answer this extortion tactic. By pretending that some of the changes being made in terms of compliance with the rule of law are meaningful when all the experts would tell you they are not. They are what I used to describe as Potemkin-style legal reforms in order to unlock EU funding. Also what is also weighing and worth noting in a way is that both the Commission and the Council have refused to acknowledge the official diagnosis of the European Parliament made in September 2022 to this date. Both institutions are refusing to recognize that Hungary is no longer a democracy. I can understand the legal and political reasons for refusing to engage with the Parliament on this front. But I think it's interesting to see that we have a fundamental disagreement between the most important EU institutions regarding whether a member state is a democracy or not. As far as Poland is concerned, EU Commission was at least a bit more proactive and started suing or bringing legal action more quickly than they did in the case of Hungary and focusing on the rule of law. But still, after we have no more than five legal actions in a total of eight years of rule of law backsliding in Poland. So less than one legal action per year, which is nowhere near enough if you ask me. The problem with this kind of a too little too late attitude of the Commission is now because the rule of law situation in Poland has essentially evolved into a complete breakdown mode, regardless of the latest electoral results. The EU's inaction has led to the ECHR system being increasingly suffocated with applications originating from Polish citizens. Currently, we have more than 500 complaints lodged with the European Court of Human Rights about Poland's rule of law crisis slash breakdown. So five infringement actions from the European Commission to compare to 500 plus number of complaints from Polish citizens about judicial independent violations of the right to an independent tribunal established by law. And 500 is actually the conservative estimate. In fact, if you include all the complaints where judicial independence related matters are raised in the context of Poland, you can easily go beyond a thousand. The problem is the ECHR does not have the resources to cope with this kind of case load. The inaction is problematic not only because he has not an impact beyond the EU institutional framework, but he has also and possibly from a more general perspective. This has undermined the credibility and authority of the EU as a rule of law based organization. I spend a lot of time criticizing the Commission because not because I have anything of a personal nature against the Commission because according to the treaty framework, the Commission is supposed to act as a guardian of the treaty. So if the guardian of the treaty does fail to do the job, then we are in deep trouble. And sadly, I have to remind everyone perhaps of some inconvenient facts as regards to the current Commission. Despite the rhetoric coming from this Commission about the importance of the rule of law and the importance of defending the rule of law when the rule of law is under systemic threat. This is the first Commission ever in the history of the EU to have been sued by the European Parliament for failing to act in a rule of law context. The only Commission whose procrastination on the rule of law front led the national parliament, the Dutch parliament, to ask the Dutch government to bring legal action to defend the rule of law in Poland. Never seen before. The only Commission to have been sued not once, but soon twice by associations of judges for disregarding or ignoring violations of rule of law judgments of the Court of Justice and at the Strasbourg Court. In conclusion, I'm involved in both types of these two types of litigation. The second litigation, by the way, is not official yet, but I'm telling you it's happening in the next. The application has been lodged with the court by judges from another country than Poland. The country I'm talking about is Romania. So it'll be in the news. So I'm giving you some breaking news or confidential news. This is the first time the Commission not once but twice sued by judges, national judges, I mean, think about it for a minute, and the guardian of the rule of law is being sued by the national guardians of the rule of law. So something is deeply wrong. On top of this, and just to mention something which was in the news recently, the European Parliament has repeatedly asked the President of the European Commission to look at the actions of the Hungarian Commissioner within the Commission because of increasing allegations that he has been directly complicit in attempts to doctor, so to change, to interfere with rule of law reports drafted by civil servants. So this is professional misconduct of the highest importance. The Parliament has asked for the President of the Commission to take actions. No action was taken. And I could go on and on. In fact, I have seen also something I had never seen before, misleading information being provided to the European Parliament by the Commission. We have seen the Commission also disregarding the case law of the Court of Justice for political reasons or reasons of a geopolitical nature. So essentially, the situation is quite dire. And sadly, it gets even worse when you look beyond Poland and Hungary to the extent that what I'm seeing and what is something new as well is that there is increasingly a more nonchalant attitude towards breaking the rule of law on an ad hoc basis, even in consolidated democracies. So even though obviously we should prioritize, we should address as a matter of priority systemic threats and systemic violations of the rule of law, what we can see in an increasing number of countries is that there is an ad hoc regard for the rule of law whenever it's politically convenient. And then at the same time, we're seeing institutions looking the other way in these situations because they cannot even cope with the systemic violations of the rule of law. So just to give you a concrete example, just think or if you have not heard, just look at what's happening in relation to this spyware Pegasus scandal. Nothing's been done. And I could go on and on and EU institutions themselves increasingly essentially tend to set aside rule of law concerns whenever politically convenient for short term political problems. There was an interesting editorial in a German legal blog last week. I thought the phrasing used by the author of this editorial was spot on. So let me just cite from this editorial. The author mentioned that the laws regulating and restraining role appears to be viewed increasingly as an obstacle to good government and not a necessary and indispensable ingredients thereof. So an increasing number of national governments arts seem to be inclined of viewing the rule of law as something annoying rather than the legitimate constraint on the exercise of public power. This is a very deeply troubling trend, which is quite new as well. This is also particularly unhealthy because it does provide cover to those engaged in the systemic undermining of the rule of law because they can say look at what's happening in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome. If they can get away with rule of law violations, why are you seeking to enforce the rule of law against us so then it gives a bit credence to the double standard argument. But to return to the specific EU dimension and to conclude because I think my time is up. What is particularly striking if I had to summarize all of my talk in one sentence is the gap between the rule of law rhetoric and the lack of rule of law enforcement at the EU level. In 2022, the President of the European Commission spoke of the Commission's duty and most noble role to protect the rule of law. Yet the reality is strikingly different. The same person who said it is our most noble role to protect the rule of law has been sued not once but twice for violating disregarding the rule of law judgments of the Court of Justice. Maybe these two legal actions have no foundations, but I could go on in terms of examples showing a lack of consistency and a lack of urgency when it comes to manifest violations of the rule of law in the EU member states which are not leading to any sort of enforcement action. Now the Commission and the Council's willingness to treat the rule of law as a bargaining chip or pretend that the rule of law is complied with or pretend that the previous systemic violations have been remedied when they are not for mostly reasons of political expediency. Now this is a clear and present danger to the credibility and authority of the EU as a union based on the rule of law, but you can also have dramatic practical consequences on the day to day functioning of the EU as a legal order. Because the EU legal order is premised on a number of principles such as mutual trust and mutual recognition. And we cannot have mutual trust and mutual recognition if the union stops being a union of democracy based on the rule of law and currently we have at least one member state which is no longer a democracy, which is an electoral autocracy according to the European Parliament itself. This is bound to create unsustainable pressures on the functioning of the EU legal order and you only ignore this danger at your own peril. So thank you.


do a leg kick. Heart rate's so mad. I might not survive our next goal. Man, I don't think I'll survive to the eighth minute at this point. Dehydration. I need to put everything in the little boom, boom. I need to get like some water out or something. Some of the sand work. Yeah, some of the sand work. I don't know, it's actually, the things that Freddie can get out of the liquid. Pause. Oh, doggie. Already they're moving mad. He's giving a foul. Yes, love it. Love it. Oh, I'd give KDB my GR. I don't know what that means, my guru. Guru for it. As the tummies, but don't worry about the tummy. Worry about the heart, honestly. The whole time I was just looking at Ollie and Jordan and Ollie. I mean, we have that effect on people to refer. I mean, can't help it. Just how many cars crash when we drive past. Man, because we crash into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We bump them off the road. Oh, see, he's a football player. And then forgot how to pass. Yes, yes, Sean. That comes in. Right. Everyone get manifesting another goal. Another goal. Come on. Harlan needs to remember that he plays striker. Yeah. Just then when Kev played that ball, he looked surprised. He's like, he's like, oh, it's for me. Offside. No, he's on. He's on. I think he might be off in the line. I thought he was well off. I think he might be off. And they've just allowed it to carry on. They're the next phase in it. They're the next phase of the play. They're the call that I know, yeah. I'm docking run at him. Oh my God. We've just missed a sitter. Kevin DuBois just missed a sitter. How's he missed that? Kevin DuBois just missed a sitter. That would have won the game genuinely. Kevin DuBois just missed a sitter. How's he missed that? How's he missed that? How's he missed that? I'm confused. How's he missed that? Kevin DuBois, mate. You just literally just missed the chance. Oh, that's the chance. That's the chance. How have you missed that? Kevin DuBois, mate. You've, oh, man, your pet knows. You can't miss these chances. No, that was the point in the game where you can't miss chances. Oh, man. That was a chance. Don't get caught out. Center. Now turn. Nice. Nice. That's it. Come on. Yeah. What's the buzz noise? It's my mic. Stones, you bear. We just need a new cable. Which we will get sorted. It's not as prominent as before. All right, so I was a bear mate. People sending in the flames like we had it. Shani Lara. Judd Stapp says goaling coming. Forced, forced, forced. Doki, I know what you wanted, but it's not it. It's not it. Oh, my God, I have a migraine. Oh, stinks. I said it. I said it. Way. I said it, not you. Brahim Diaz is coming on. It absolutely reeks. It reeks in here. Thing easy plays. He played really well from like you did both ways. See Milan. Whitey played. It's not the same, man. It's not the same in it. It's not the same. Like Rodrigo is off, which is a positive. Harlem bicycle kick goal. Oh, my gosh. I'd run outside. You wouldn't see me again. I'd be gone. I'd run to the air from here. Yeah. Which is probably a good like 10 mile run. Probably like a half marathon at least. Yeah. I won't even. Honestly, I won't even breathe doing it. I'd be fine. Ref. Ref. Thank you. It's not give it. Yeah, he's give it. Why criticize him? Brahim not criticizing him. We're not criticizing him. We're saying we're scared. We're saying we're scared. Yeah. It stinks of, I don't even want to say it, but figure it out. Read between the lines. Come on, say. Feel like this game, though, is like it's calling for doku. Like, you know what I mean? Like it was calling for doku. It still is calling for doku. Go on, lad. Keep it in. Done well there, doku. Big switch out now to Bernardo. What a ball that is. Oh, Kev. Poor touch. I can't believe that chance. Kev, lad. Can't dwell on it, though. Can't dwell on it. Can't dwell on it. More ref. Yeah, look at that. He grabbed the back of him. He's doku playing. Yeah, he's on now for Grealish. People singing blue moon in the chat. You're not singing blue moon in the chat. Man, yes, it's all mine. Come on, Steve. Yes, yes, Steve. Please pick up. Come on. Sit, sit. Get the baddie. Sit, sit. Oh, traffic is falling down. What a tune, man. I can't see any part of that written and not just singing it a little bit. What? It's doing good. Any sort of foul, ref? Come on, ref. It's all over him. Inside to Kev.  Too pacy to pass at him. Overlap, Kev, overlap. Oh, who's that, too? We're heavily relying on doku, you know what you can tell. Do you know what I'm trying to say? Well, sometimes, I feel like, you know, the part of being a good manager, I guess, if I was one, is knowing what the game needs and what kind of player it needs. Like, there are games where games are set up for Phil Foden or they're set up for Kev with passes like in behind or they're set up through and with lots of space in behind with the teams. Like, I feel like this game, it needs a bit of chaos. Do you know what I mean? It's like in a game where both teams won't control so much, it actually benefits from a little bit of unpredictability, a little bit of chaos. Nice. Come on, doku. But also what's happening is because two of them are going to doku. It's not predictable. Because they don't know what he's going to do it. If he's going to take him on, he's going to cut in or whatever. It's leaving space for these other players. Gavadio, Gavadio, Gavadio. Okay, nice. He's a great ball of that. Great ball of that from walks. Come on. Oh, it's cut back but no one's there. Porn of ball. It's cut back then. It was in the little bit of space. Cut back. No one there though. I am on edge. I can't even think about the fact that I'm watching a football game, aren't I? Yeah, my heart genuinely is about to give in. You might have had a watching family guy.  Guys, please. Manifest the goal. Corner goal. I'll take my top off. Harlan's not a good head in the ball, man. Three minutes to go. A normal time. I can't do extra time. I can't.   Sai in dreamland. If this game gets to 90 minutes, top's coming up. Extra time will be pain. Oh my gosh. That'll speed us, mate. Don't think about it. I don't think about it. Last time we played extra time with ease, it did not go well. Especially with the FA Cup on Sunday. Saturday whenever it is. Saturday, yeah. Come on. They're gagging for extra time now as well. Tell you what, Doku has been a breath of fresh air for us. Yeah, yeah. 100%. Really, really good on that side.  Because I don't know. He just, I think even if like it's no intention of actually putting the ball in or creating something, he needs to run it care of a hell of a few times. Just get him sent off. Yeah, yeah.  Phil there, Phil. Nice, that's good play. Doku. Oh. Oh, I thought I was falling to a kanji then. Not like this. Not like this. You had the card for Rodry that. Smart. Smart, yeah. Tactical foul, clever. Had to take it. He had to take it.  He literally just pulled him back in here. Please do. At least point. I'd rather it be like five minutes at extra time. I mean. Is it five minutes at a time? Someone just said plus five question mark. I'm not sure yet. I don't know. Generally not sure yet, mate. How's that there, ball? How is that there, ball? Three, three minutes at a time it is.  Four, four. Four minutes at a time. Never mind.  I mean, to be fair, a lot of people said three. Unless the commentator said three, thinking it would be three. Good defending that. Good clearance. So he's straight back that. Canji made his focus. Well in. Offside, finally. Do you know what I mean? After all that. That's wasted, thinking as much as that's wasted 30 seconds of the added time. He just pisses me off, man. Go on, Docky. Oh, he's do for a month of Sundays and he's fallen for it. He knew he was beat there so he completely fell to the floor. Not a chance. He doesn't even, it's not even his face. It's there. He knew he was beat there. Absolutely knew it.  That is absolutely, and the ref is well, just fall straight into it. Yeah, I'd be fuming as well.   That's too easy. That's way too easy. This is too easy. Oh my God. What is this? The space. Come on. Come on, City. Come on. Drive forward, drive forward, drive forward. Where's Docky? Nice. Good football. Got the way, Ref. Oh, good ball from Kev that.   I feel like you can't say a bad word about the guy winning the Champions League, but he's been bad today, Roger. He needs to draw those eyebrows back on for extra time. JP, what does the man say about time? Surely I'm going to cut another quote, aren't you? I'm quoted out, mate. My head's fallen off. The world of the wise man, mate. My head's fallen off, mate. I can't think straight. I'll walk with this as you, mate. It's not your car, Walker. Is it not? It's a kanji. Oh, he's done well too far. Someone. Seconds. Nice. Good defending. Harlan holding it up. Well in. Look, it is hitting hope to Docky, you know. Is hitting hope pure to Docky. That's, we shouldn't have done that. No, we shouldn't have done that. We shouldn't have done that. Kevden, just turn around. We should, it turned around and passed back. Keep control of the game. Roger, you're all out of eyebrows and velocity. Yeah, overall ref. Not like this. Not like this. Not like this. Come on. Oh, that looks a foul. Yeah. That looks a foul. Well, he is getting booked. Is it camera? No, it's further. Mendy getting booked. Ten seconds left of normal time. Well, that's a normal time. The added time, I should say. And then we're into extra time. It stinks. Walling behind. Kevin De Bruyne, good ball. Corner. Corner. Let it allow it ref. Allow it ref. A corner. A corner. One last chance. Stop could be coming off. One last chance. One last chance. You've got to play the odds game. Do not do a short corner. Do not do a short corner. I know what his football club's like. They do short corners and they just go, yeah. Straight away. Odds game. Buying of beat Arsenal 1-0. Now can City. Come on. Come on, Ruben Dias. Ruben Dias. Come on. Final chance of the game. Ruben Dias. Please, please, brother. Please, please, please, please. Oh my God. It was actually close. It was actually close, but it just hit Harland and went over. Oh, man. That's it. That's full time of normal time. But we are going in to extra time. I need to go for another week. Yeah. And a cry. Again. Second cry of the night. Second cry of the night. I'll be back in a sec. Yeah. Oh, let's go. Let's go.  Extra time. So many missed chances. That chance from Kevin De Bruyne after we scored the equaliser was clutch. That was the one. That was the one. That was the one. But it's over. I love how people are saying it's over, man. Told you from the off, it's not over. Congrats, Chelsea. We're reaching our fake up final. Nah, not a chance, mate. Not a chance. Extra half an hour. Do you know what I mean? They'll still be up for it. If we beat Madrid today, honestly, that'll reset this team straight away. Tired.  Said the famous man himself. In some vaguely quoted sentence. We've been honest to that second half. You can't lie. We were so much better in that half. That first half to that second half is night and day was so much better. We had more control of the game. And it was us, us, us. So you've got to back it. You've got to back it. Some of the chances, the chances that we've had, honestly, also Arsenal, El Bozos. I can't, I miss a 40, mate. I don't know who you're supporting it. If you support city, I don't know any. But I'm not saying El Bozo to no one yet. Like, brother, I'm going to say, like, hold that El Bozo to all these Arsenal fans, right? But I'll say, come in and watch me get, watch us get knocked out. Brother, brother, no. Why does it say full time? Because it is technically full time, mate. It is technically full time. I mean, it's, I don't have the ET yet because my issue, man, my issue with this whole situation was I was kind of banking on us not getting to extra time. And when I set the new scoreboard up, obviously new scoreboard thing is like, I can't even flex the start of 11 graphics in that anymore because they're not even right. Like people, it is the start of 11, but it's not the current 11. I wish we had away goals. I know, see away goals. Away goals that are sorted is out. After all the years we suffered from away goals. I know it's one time. It'd be great to have them now. All the res is coming on. Who for? Harland. Got to be for Harland, doesn't it? All the res is coming on. Jump with the timer. Can we just say about zero? Yeah, and do 30. But can you do 15 and 15? Yeah, that one. Oh, my guys. My guys. I'm stressing, bro. I'm stressing. Harland is coming off. And Alvarez is coming on. Thoughts. I back it, you know. I back it. Whatever Pep says, goals, mate. I back it. I also back. What? Oh, I'll fill up mine as well. Jordy Porties. Jordy Porties on a water run. Jordy Porties on a water run because it is, I can't explain the degree and temperature that it is in this shed. It's mental. Crev is saying this is the one, guys. Freddie's gone outside to give himself. Yeah, but that's the thing is I can't keep that open for too long because then it gets too cold. I get Baltic. Oh, no, no negativity. Prank JP Oli. No, that would actually be cruel. Honestly, if it was like a prem game or something, then maybe. But if I did that to Jordy Portie, he'd lose it. Right. Oh, gosh, we're meant to be doing the timer, but I don't know how to do it. Right. I hope I'm about to press the right button, everyone, because I have no idea how to do this timer. Jordy's never taught me. Right. Let's hope that we're right. He's just going to be the right button. I think it's the right button. Can you kick off, Ref? I'm anxious now. Any time today. I thought he's going to be back by this point. It's not started. Yes, it has. Oh, I'm a genius, everyone. I'm a genius. I've inherited superpowers. I'm a genius, right? Yes, yes. Oh, gosh, I'm stressing already. Being a professional Unai Emery, Harlan needs a bigger head like Maguire. Maybe he would be much better at head as if he had a slab head. If he had Maguire's slab head. Yeah, maybe to be fair, mate. I looked for my water, then, but it's not here. What's happened there? Oh, get gone. Get gone, Bellingham. I mean, I hope he's all right if he's not faking it, but Jordy Portie, you'd be so proud I managed to start the timer. Yo, yes. You've never told me how to do it. I just had to guess. We have liquid. Well then, what a tech man.  I'm only in the water bottle. Yeah, because I was going everywhere. It wouldn't fit in the sink. Oh, you're all right, Bellingham. Are you okay? Are you feeling all right after running into Rubin Diaz? Oh, my God. Watching this with my cat. Oh, don't tell Jerry. Only three likes to 500 guys. Dropping a like, please, if you've not already. One like means one Manchester City win. I promise you. Perhaps the information. He worked in it. He worked in that half. We have 26 shots. I know that's disgusting. Alvarez masterclass. Come on. Alvarez false nine season. That's what it is. Come on, baby. Look at that space. Play the ball there. The ball in behind there. Play the ball. Play the ball for voting, lad. Come on, Docky. I need a red card for Caravajal this half. Come on. Take him on. Take him on. Look at all those base. Docky. Oh, I got water ball from Jeremy Docky. Water ball. Drew would have been there early on. Water ball from Jeremy Docky. That is. That's some real. He just needs to keep doing that. Honestly, he's got Caravajal on strings, man. I heard J-Rone. I hope we can fit it, mate. I think it'll fit. I'll figure it out. What? Yeah, I love bossy as an emoji. No, I don't think so. I don't think we need that on this channel. I don't think it's appropriate. How? Ollie says Caravajal. How's it meant to be said? Caravajal. Caravajal. Caravajal. Caravajal. Are you a carver? Yeah. Caravajal. Wait, how do you say it? Caravajal. Carver. You do it like. Caravajal. Caravajal. Caravajal. Hey, that's some Caravajal. What's the other one that I'll say incorrectly? Mangala. Mangala. It's Mangala. Mangala. Eliquim Mangala. Eliquim Mangala. Probably so fair. A few names wrong, to be honest, but here's what it is. Gotta allow it. Maniquim, innit? Sorry, chat. I'm not saying a word and just... I'm just breathing here. It's just noise. It's just... This is a breathe-along. It's a breathe... Yeah, it's a breathe-along. Luke, yes, yes. I'm wishing you a lot of the best luck for these 30 minutes. It's gonna feel long, fucked. Facked. We need a pen. We do not need a pen. I'm back in 3-1. I'm back in 3-1. Still. If we score, they've got to go for it. So I can kind of back a 3-1. Yeah, that's what I mean. I just need us to score for it. I desperately use to score first. Yeah, no, if they score again, I think it might.  After how long it took us to score. Yeah. And all them chances. Kevin De Bruyne had a glorious chance. Feel like these want pens now, to be honest. These might be knackered, you know. They've not had the ball for a full 45 minutes. We've had the ball pretty much all that half.  Back post, back post, back post, back post. It's not it. It's not it. It's not it. It's not it. It's not it. Phil! Oh, it's blocked. Panic as well there to get it away from Phil and Mendy. Oh, big chance, though. Big chance. I'm not the one to say, yeah. Clown De Bruyne. De Bruyne. De Bruyne. De Bruyne. De Bruyne. Kevin De Bruyne. You know what's the worst? I mean, on a fee for a few years ago, they might still do it, but the commentator used to go, De Bruyne. I used to hate it. De Bruyne. De Bruyne. You know the city commentator who always was like, like the actual city content? For years, he called Aguero, Aguero. Years, years and years and years. Bitches and Aguero's. Oh. It's it. Shouldn't have hit it. Good recovery. That's brilliant. Come on forward. So, how far is there? What the? Like, you're meant to be in the center.  Brother. The Kanji's now in him. The Kanji's our number nine. Balotelli, Aguero. The professional daddy-stay admirer. What is going on? I swear, if that's fresh on the admirer and he's changed up his whole identity, I'll be good to him. That's tight, that. I'll be wounded. I thought I had one admirer and one admirer only. 16 corners for sitting on for Elma Drid. Yeah. Mate, I genuinely think we could have 500 corners. We wouldn't score one. I'm playing the odds game. Good ball. Kevin De Bruyne locked. Oh, that's poo. I love that. Oh, that's poo. Good breathing from City Extra. Cheers, moves to mate. Breathing techniques with City Extra. Breathe in. Breathe out. This is a guided meditation. Yeah, to get you through this next 30 minutes. Yeah, I know Astral Max, mate. I think every City Fun knows that. Although I appreciate it. I do appreciate it. I do appreciate it. Yeah, it's a cool fact. Yeah, it is a cool fact. It is a cool fact. Edison, basketball kick at 120. I take it. It's anything, any goal. As long as it's not in our own net. All these water balls to be empty by the end of extra time odds. One to one, honest. It is one to one. You ain't getting good odds on that.  Yeah, I will drown. On stream. This whole set will be ruined electrically, but... Yeah, but it'll be worth it. If you can't just score it now, then let it be known that the printer paper used for that Super Chat Ascent was worth it. Fact, fact Jacob Jiro, mate. Mate, if anyone scores the... If anyone scores it's worth it. That was bad. That was bad. That was bad. It was worth it. Don't set yourselves up. That's good. That. Well read. Just keep it now. Quick turn. You got runners. What? You've tanked that in there. Jesus Christ. But he's running. Get it out the dock. You're quick. One touch. Out the dock. What are you doing? Wrong way, lad. Where are you going? Wrong way. There's one. Man, open. He was chilling as well. Like he had all the time in the world. Shoot. I had to shoot back at Gavardi all shot, man. Bernardo Silva. Pauline. No! Foudan. Phil Foudan. Foudan, lad. You've got to put that in. You've got to put that in. That could be it. Oh, he's missed the ball completely. He completely missed the ball. Oh, that's got to do it. I get the ball was fizzed at him, but it was a good ball in. That has got to... If not in, it's got to be on target. Do you know what I mean? If the keeper saves it or something, you can't do much about it, but... One more. One more. Dead ball. One more. There is no one more. Now one more. Oh, you missed your chance.  Well in, Rodry, mate. She said it against the floor. That was setting up for a Vardio shot, then, wasn't it? No, that is not it. Keep it in. Keep it in. Shit. Ah, Pooie. Hey, Pooie. Pooie. Then bringing on all these attacking plays is what's worrying me. He's like, they're not bringing on defenders, being like, yeah, see, arts, pens, or something there, going for it. I think they just want to hit us on the counter there. I think he's going one chance. One, yeah, one chance. I mean, one chance. And you know what? Against this city team, I'd never be so confident, because all you do need is one chance, it seems. I hate to say it, but... You're getting dusted, boys. You're getting dusted here. Far too easy. Who's that wide? Who's that wide? That is actually... He is the best defender I've ever seen. He's amazing. He's unbelievable. That is the best right back. He's talent personified.  I've never seen a better performance. Never had a bad word to say about him. Honestly, what a game from him. Pretty sure he just pulled Vinny's hamstring in the process as well. All he did now is a goal now, see, is it? Doing the simple things like, Foden's free, not passing to him. Doku, free, not passing. We're over-complicating it still. Just go for it there, Doku, yeah? Yeah, I've seen the light. I've seen the light. Thought Doku was in. Kyle Walker, mate, that was unreal. Vinny's just coming off. I think he just got injured in that, then. Yeah, he did. Kyle Walker has just literally broke Vinny's hamstring. He's saying, I'm not coming off this pitch. He's being like, I'll be carried off. Kyle Walker's like, maybe next time, mate. This, it killed him, watch. He pulls up. Well, after this, you can see him. He's dying. He's like, he's like out on the floor. Kyle Walker did bits. Water defender, that's my goat. The flash. He's literally trying not to get off a pitch, you know, or like as slow as possible. Walker is strong. Come on, guys. Come on. If you've not already, leave the stream a like and subscribe. We do appreciate it. It helps us get through this. And one like equals one man's that you win, Sam. They're the rules. They're the maths. Bowling. Dead ball. Shock. He's shocked. No. Out to KDB. He's wearing it. Who's there, though? That's poor keeping. He's a dead ball from Docky. He's a dead ball. Yeah, he's a bit dead. Dead ball from Docky. All right, I'm counting on. That's the commitment. That's the count. That's a great tackle. Now, of course, he's given a foul. This ref is buying anything. This ref is buying anything that's been sold to him. Honestly, man, I'll say this top 500 quid. You do it.  I'm getting extremely nervous again. So am I. I mean, the worst making more nervous is that we've only got two minutes left of this half of next time. That has gone like that. I don't say that, lad. The time is just falling. I don't even know what my quote was. Oh, no. Someone stayed with him. Yeah, someone's got to stay with Hit with Brahim. I'm not ready for the pain. I thought someone had chatted that, but that's just me. It's just me. That's just you being real. It's just me being real. That's just you being your realist self. Right, guys, manifest a goal in the chat. Come on. Two-one city, two-one city. Come on, manifest it, guys. Believe, believe. Come on, get all the ball again. That's nice. Believe in this team. One to it, one to it. You should have one to it. No, he doesn't need it. It's too fast. Nice. Come on, do something quick. Folding in the middle. Space. Folding in the middle. Don't do a little cross. Don't do a cross.  You've wasted it now, haven't you? Come on. I do kind of feel like people aren't moving that much for KDB, either. I feel like we're in that nervy territory where they don't want to over-commit again. They don't want to make a mistake. Good ball. That's a f**k. That's a corner. That's a corner. That's a corner. That's absolutely a corner ball. He's not giving it. He's not giving it. He's not giving it. The ref, man. Hey, 5,000. 5,000 now. I promise you, best quality. Let's have it. This ref is killing me.  Come on, team. Come on, team. Come on, city. Please, please, please, please. Believe in this team, man. Second. That's our ball. No, they know someone's got to take him. No, no, no. Someone's got to come over as well. Someone's got to come over as well. Corner ball, this stinks. Corner ball. Sorry, I just said it. Corner ball. Real Madrid's first corner. I'm going into hiding. Real Madrid's first corner. That does stink to be for the first corner. Mod reached to take it. Get out. Get out. Get it out. Good block. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out. Press out. Press out. Team, press out. Jacqueline. Oh, my God. That's the best opportunity of extra time. Oh, my God. That was a chance there. Oh, my golly goodness, Giddy and Ferlamendi. No, Ruedigit, Ruedigit. Oh, was it Ruedigit? Ruedigit, halftime. Oh, it is, 22. I don't know why I thought 22 was going to be Ferlamendi. Oh, he's 23, I think, Ferlamendi. At least I went far off. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think I went far off. I won and my warriors. Bang on, pep impression. I want it to be fair. I need you to text my loved ones and say that I'll miss them. I'm going to text my dog in it.  I could literally, I could actually cry. I could just, I could cry. I'm going to marry him. Setting the times to 44. It's literally straight swap as well, isn't it? To pray along. Pray with me, brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters. Inshallah, Ollie. Peps giving the team talk. This is it. I know what he's saying. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's like, one of my warriors. Ollie a bit close. I'd never too close, never too close to my fellow city fans. The team is Docky. And inshallah today, it is, it is. Docky was our secret weapon. Bring go men's off. Now you're getting delirious. Full Docky. Where's pep gone? Down the tunnel. On for a quick poo. I could not stop laughing at the flow of the flow. When you go, we're pulled over so that Ollie can care for. That made me crease. 30 shots on target. Stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky times. Right, we're underweight. Stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky times. It's be all an end all now. We are in the end game. We are in the end game. This is it. There are whatever is 14,896 possibilities where we don't win. And there's one where we do. Let's find that one. I need that one. Like FDI. I got my whatever it's gone. Is that all the possibilities? Was that the noise I made? Did you do the sound effects like me? Yeah, I did. I did the sound effects. It's got folly where it's gone. Come on, City. The spirits are good here. The spirits are good. I am delirious. I've gone past the point of nerves that I feel like I might cry. Oh, Cityvengers assemble. Damn right. City must win this game. Thanks for that. Who'd be captain? I say who'd be captain? I'm going to call him Captain Rod. But I was thinking you can't call him that. What for most? Yeah. You're Red Hulk. I'm Red Hulk. Yeah, in fact. You're Red Hulk. I'm Red Skull. Yeah. I'm villain in this. Oh, that's a foul. Freddie's Nick Fury. Yeah, definitely Fred Fury. Yeah. Oh, no, he's Hawk Pie. Both roots, banana. Bowdoin. You're so delusional over watching the game anymore. He's all we need is Scott Carson's striker for a win. Oh, passes like that made me nervous. In his hole in my chest. Freddie's sweating more than when he did the marathon on Sunday. Yeah. Oh, do you know what the marathon's like? Okay, no, you don't tell anyone. Thank you. The man that doesn't feel warm ever. I'm all right. Temperature wise, it's liquidation. Nice doku, bit of inside play inside the place. Go on, doku, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy. Oh, I'll give it a big one. Oh, no. I think his rodry cannot even take a man like because he's on a yellow in it. Come on, Phil. Press. We look tired now, you know. Yeah. So do they look tired. Both teams do. They're both knackered. Tell us what's happening, folks. Sorry, chat box mate. We're having a terrible time. Real Madrid are on the ball, mate. That's about it. Switched up into Rudiger. Mate, the subspec. Oh, there's a play going down. Probably a bit of cramp, to be honest with the way that it is. Real Madrid are kicked off. They're wasting time now, though. They're wasting time. I'll bet a tenner that he doesn't get subbed. I'll bet a tenner. Frimpong has a chance of coming Vila in the summer. It would be without our contenders, Luke. I mean, I see how your season goes in if you get the Champions League, to be honest. I don't think he'll come to it. Yeah, I think Frimpong's, there's no disrespect to it. I know that Vila, they've got the cash in that. And obviously they get Champions League, but I think this obviously teams like City Rim, Free Rim, things like that. Eddie Miller tells us what's going on. Holly's X-Men character would be hydration, man. Yeah. They want pens. They look knackered. They look knackered. We look knackered, though. It's now come to that point, by the way, with 10 minutes to go. Who's your penalty taker's chat? Chat, get your five in. Who's your penalty? I don't even want to think about it. I don't want to talk about that yet. I don't want to talk about that yet. Too fair, because be quiet when it happens in it, because I'll have like a little bit of it. I don't want to talk about that when it happens. I don't want to talk about that when it happens. I'm all right. It's going to make me nervous talking about it. Who gets that point? I'm done with streaming. Because I'm Aliowski. Harlan times five. I mean, Harlan's not on the pitch, so he can't. Which didn't think about that. I did not think about that at all. Didn't think about that. Harlan can't take the pens. Right, so you've got to win it in the next 10 minutes, because my goal. You know who I don't back to take a pen? Roderick. No, Foden. I really don't back him. I feel like I've seen him miss a fair few. I feel like he has seen it. I'm pretty sure he missed one in the UEFA Super Cup, but he missed one against Westam a couple years ago. John Stones was warming up then, as someone else was. And I can't think who it was. My brain wanted to say it was Sergio Gomez for a second, but I don't think it was. Covers itch. It was Covers itch. Yes, yes. Dr. Footy is a Villa fan. With the 14s are KDB could have won it for us by now. We're going out. KDB could have won it for us now and now. Well, really could have won it for them, but you know, that's the way football goes. We've got to keep on praying and staying in the game. People saying Covers itch on pens is cold. Now, I don't know if this is facts or not, but we might not even make it there yet. Let's just focus on the game. We've got 10 minutes. Real Madrid coming forward. Good defending, but it's straight out. There's a shot over the bar. Covers itch for pens, cold. It is Covers itch and John Stones are coming on. I'd like to know who for. A Kanji and Kevin De Bruyne. You know, that's Kev for a pen, wouldn't you? Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne, Kevin De Bruyne. Kevin De Bruyne is off. Kevin De Bruyne. Covers itch. I know when we're scoring. I know when we're scoring. A hundred and fifteenth minute. Low it. Low it. A hundred and fifteenth minute. Fold and screamer. Oh my God, imagine. One more five. One more five. One more five. That's not foul. Foul towards you. It will take you. It will take that. Take that. Take that. What? Now he's giving it the other way. Change his mind all of a sudden. I mean, what's he doing? My bad, my bad mates. The Champions League quarter-final. I don't need you bad. I need you to make decisions. Because he gave the free kick towards. And I'm like, oh no, so I didn't mean that. Hundred and fifteen guys manifest it. No, you've been sent there. Deal with this. Good, well read. Well read. Well read. Well read. Well read. You've done a good read. Come on. Now, City coming forward. Ball over. On the left hand side. He's got Covers itch in front of him. He goes for Docky. Docky's got Covers itch next to him. I imagine Docky's going to go the whole way. He does. And a ball to Covers itch. That's a corner ball. Everything's going through Docky at the moment. Zach and the boys mate. Elby's got his own channel now mate. He left. He's got his own channel, bro. Come on. Corner ball. Another corner ball. Why is it 17th corner or something? Johnny Stone's had a bash. Don't tease me like that. Ball in. It's not a Johnny Stone's bash. We just were so bad at corners. It's honestly like it's miraculous for a team so tall. Nothing on. Oh that's a free kick. And he'll stay down for 15 minutes. We need to change the set-piece coach. We need to get back that set-piece coach that we had before. Where'd he go? Southampton or Liverpool or something? I don't know where he went. I don't know where he went for it. At Donnie. We went from, I think it was like two, three years ago. Being the team that scored the most goals. He scored 21 goals or something, didn't we? Yeah, from set-piece to like, honestly. Oh, it could be. It could be. He went to Arsenal. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's him. 115. Docky. Oh, docky. Just pace past him there. Just pace past him. No, no, no, no, no, no. And you've got to get back now. This is where you've got to put in. We've got to end. No, not that way. End to the tank. Use the rest of the tank. The tackle. The tackle. Well in. That referee, come on. What? He's saying he got the ball, of course. He's saying he got the ball. Are you taking the piss? This referee's on crack, man. That's it. Space don't over commit. Rodri bullying his way through there. Bernardo. It's all tight on the edge of the box. Rodri. Try us to play him in. Rodri. That's a Bernardo. Is it Bernardo? Try us to play a ball in, but it's a poor ball. It's a good defending. It's a good defending. Come on. City on the reset. Rodri. Rodri, he got stoned. Play the ball forward. Turn. Nice. Go switch that. Phil forwarding. Out wide. Use it too. There's no point crossing. We don't have Highland on anymore, mate. There's no point doing that. No, that's too easy. Someone else needs to get over. Well read. Well read. Well read. Well read. Oh, it's going to pens, isn't it? Seems that way. Vardio's gone down. I think it could be her here. Genuine. Come on. Come on. We're doing everything but score, says Jordan. Yeah, no one won five and four. Yeah, I know. It was a good manifestation. I beg. Come on. Three minutes left. I can't talk. I can't get you in the woods. Honestly, I apologize. And it would love to be commentating on the game. I took the best of my ability. I'm so, so stressed. It's been very difficult. It's stressful.  I'm going to get the ball going forward. Oh, that's past walks. Oh, my God. That's past walks. What are you doing? It's three on three. It's five on four. Get back, everyone, man. Ball's the back post. Start with out to it. Docky, what are you doing? You're jogging there. To win there. That's poor ball, fortunately. Jogging was docking. Jogging was jogging. Jogging was docking. He's docking, man. Not on the pitch to say that, bro. Just jogging. Well in. Well in. Forward. I don't want to be that guy. Alvarez hasn't done that much. No, don't be doing that. Don't be doing that. Don't be doing that. Oh, everyone's knackered. Get that cover. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out. Someone's got to take it. Someone's got to take a pen out. They're not a pen. Take a foul. Edge of the box. That's gone. Goal kick. It's gone. It's a goal kick. Goal kick. It's a goal kick. Edison's just cuddling. Jude. I tell you, we're making some questionable decisions there. I don't know if it was John Stones who was getting forward. One of them. One of them was getting forward. Halley says he's got skid marks. I've got a full poo in my pants. If I don't laugh, I'll cry. I honestly, this is so painful. Come on now. Come on now. Come on. Like, please, please, please, please, please. Just get it out to doku. We look, we look. We look knackered now. We look knackered. Come on, Phil. There's the one more chance. Fill forward and make.  I knew that Albert was going to shoot. I knew. Even though the angle just isn't on. I'll look at that. He's going to hit that. He's going to hit that. He's just going to hit the post. That's pens. I knew it. I'm going to have to go for another wee. And another cry. Get all the water in now. Oh, man. All right. Long ball up from the keeper. Seconds that, right? It's a flowing city. Not sure how long it's going to be added on. I reckon two minutes again. I reckon, yeah, two minutes is a safe bet. Two minutes is a safe bet. One minute. One minute added on. Can't have a how I was injured in that, that was for a good two minutes. Yeah. Childbox is running out of beer. Oh, he thinks he's pep with the water drinking. I can see why pep does it, man. Good ball. But he's stuck. He's stuck. Right. Call a foul, lad. He's done him. Goal kick. Goal kick. Couldn't call the foul to save his life that round. That's going to be that, innit? And that's going to be that, chat. That's going to be that. I hope we're going to penalty, chat. Right. On the pitch currently, my, before I go for a wee, my five penalty takers are going to have to be... Alvarez. Alvarez. Covetich. Covetich. Yeah, I agree with them too. Rodgering. I agree.   Foden. Bernardo. Bernardo, yeah. I want a doku taking a pen. All right, here it is. Penalties. Penalty. You know what, as well, I was thinking, oh, should I make a little penalty thing? And I was like, no. All right, should I make a little penalty thing now? No. No. Didn't do it because I was like, yeah, we don't need a penalty thing, do we? Well... All over the show. Yeah, none of us prepped for this chat. So what I'm going to do is I'm... Does that work? No, that doesn't work. I'm going to put the penalties, just like as the scores. Does that make sense? This makes sense, chat. If I do this, I set this back to 0-0. He says, it's 1-0 city. I'm setting these back to 0-0, yeah? And then on the scoreboard, we'll change it as we...  You know what I'm saying? Oh my God. Right, chat. Out of 10. How nervous are you now? Because I don't think so even. Practice penalties. How nervous? Out of 10. A million. 111. 11 out of 10. 10 out of 10. A thousand says Mohammed. 112. 12 out of 10. Million out of 10. 115 out of 10. 100 out of 10. 150 out of 10. Thingy is now, chat. It's not, you know what I mean? It's not about the game. It's 50-50, I mean. I don't know about 50-50. I just said that. I don't think we practice penalties. I... Yes, outside. I'm trying not to say anything. I'm trying not to say anything. But Thingy, there's no point. There's no point dwelling on the fact of where we're thinking. But it's nervy times. It's nervy times. Absolute nervy times. So, like I say, penalties, it'll just be a goal for either side as we go through it. That's the way I'm going to do it. I'm genuinely on migraine mode. Put our tagering for pens. You can't do that with targeting. You have to make the subs beforehand. You have to make the subs before the game finishes. Only the players that finished that game are allowed to take the penalties now. Sinks are farted here. Fart, KFC and sweat. And belief. And belief. I love that. It stinks of belief in here. Yes, yes, Kid Leroy. Yes, it's Kid Leroy, mate. Didn't say anything, mate, but I appreciate the Super Chat and appreciate the support. Fart, KFC, sweat tears. And belief. Don't forget belief. It stinks of belief in here. It reeks of belief. It's not at the Madrid fans. You know what I think is, though? You want it at the South Stand, don't you? The South Stand's next to the Madrid fans. They should put the Madrid fans next to the Falmersdand. Yeah.  Tell you what else. I don't know. Would you want to take first or second? I think second's always better. I don't think it makes a difference to me. I think Walker picked the South Stand anyway. Yeah, I think he did. Walker won and then picked South Stand right next to the Real Madrid fans. Anyway, I think that's the best bet, though, for City. I think that's what he did. I think that was the right call. Right, chat. Here we go. I don't know how good this guy is at saving penalties. Not sure how great Edison is at saving penalties. I can't remember the last time he saved one. I don't think I've ever seen him save one. But I'm not ready for this. I can't believe it's come down to this.    Martín is, where are you? Yeah. He's first. He's first up. Julian Alvarez first up. It's the family stand. Oh, he's gone family stand way. First. Right, come on. Julian Alvarez, mate. You're taking a penalty in the World Cup final. You can do this, brother. Believe. At least points, just hope and vibes. I'll be going down the middle every single time. Down the middle, every single one of them. He's a keeper for Real. He must be good. So who's Kebara Risa Balaga? Yeah, true that. Scott Carson's a keeper for us, isn't it? And he's the best. Hey! Not mine. I'd have him in this net right now. He saved the pen. He has Newcastle. Hold hands. Hands. You're all right. Silence. And a slip out of his hands. Come on. Right, Alvarez is stepped up. Alvarez is stepped up. Referee is allowing it. Here he goes. Alvarez, penalty. Good penalty! Great penalty. Great penalty. Oh, I don't need to do it on my phone. I'm starting on my phone doing it, like, because if I need to do it on my phone, I can do it on that. Oh, gosh. I can't even speak. I feel too weak to speak. Right. Who's stepping up for them? Rock and Jude's taking their fifth pen to be the hero, man. Yeah, definitely. Mod Rich. Mod Rich steps up. Mod Rich. Mod Rich steps up. Come on, Edison. Come on, Edison. Come on, Edison. Mod Rich will miss, says Luki. It's a long run up. Mod Rich. Yeah! Yeah! He gets in! Good save, Edison! Shit, penalty! Luki, you're my boy. You're my boy, Luki. Luki. Listen, Agaib. Listen, Agaib. Good save, Edison. Good save, Edison. Good save, good save. It's not done. It's not even nearly done. It's not. It's on the start. It's on the start. We keep the nerves. We keep the nerves. Yeah. Bernardo's up next. Please, Bernardo. Please, Bernardo. Please, Bernardo. Please, Bernardo. If I'm Bernardo, I'm going straight down the middle. Genuine. Straight down the middle.  Give me yellow. Give me yellow. He's off his line. If you get the card, he's off his line.  Where's the multi-ball at? Come on. Come on. Come on, Bernardo, mate. Come on, Bernardo, mate. Come on. Come on, Bernardo, mate. Bernardo Silva. It's a terrible penalty.  It's a terrible penalty. That was genuinely horrendous. It's a terrible penalty. It's a terrible penalty.  What is that? What is that? That's a terrible penalty. I'm looking, Bernardo, mate. Can't believe that. Right. Back it. Back into it. Back into Madrid. Madrid. Back into it, mate. I can't believe that penalty. Big pressure on Jude. He ain't going to miss. Yeah, good pen, Jude Bellingham. One-one. That's it. We're back evens. Oh, man. That was such a lifeline then. I know. That was... It's like, if you're going to miss there, go for it. I disagree with the whole down-the-middle thing. If you go down, you've got to whomp it. You can't side-foot it like that. If you side-foot it like that, you've got to go corners. All right, cover. Come on, cover six, mate. It's a big one up. Cover six. Saved. Oh, wow. We're going out. We're done, we're done. We're done here. We're done. We're done. Cover six, mate. We're done. We're out. We're out. We're out. That's it. Two misses in a row, you're out. Oh, heartbreak. We're out. Heartbreak. Two misses in a row, you're out. Every penalty shoot out. GGs. GGs. Real Madrid player stepping up. 2-1 Madrid. 2-1 Madrid. City Need A Miracle. It's done. It's done. City Need A Miracle. It's done. It's done. City Need A Miracle. I think it's annoying that as well, because cover six is brought on for pens. Literally, the other reason is on the pitches for pens. It's done, man. Vasquez. There you go. Who's next? Phil Forden. Yeah. Phil Forden next. Steps up. Scores. Great pen. Great pen from Phil. We're going to need a big save from Eddie here. Big save from Eddie here. We need a big save from Eddie. Come on. Big save from Eddie. Come on. Come on, Edison, mate. Come on, Edison, mate. Nope. That's all I'm telling you, man. Have you seen the nerves drop out of my body? It's over. Right. Now, this is it. City has got a score and save. City got a score and save, man.  He should have sticked that way. What? Oh, my God. Edison's taking it. Edison is taking our penalty. I've never seen this. Edison is taking our pen. Water penalty. That's why he's taking our pens. He should be taking the second pen. He should be taking the second penalty. That's the best pen we've seen. That's the best. That's why Pep said, didn't it? No one saves Edison's pens in training. Rudiger. Rudiger steps up. I want to believe I do, but I've got to save it. Got to save it. And that's that. Real Madrid knockout, Manchester City. That is painful. That is painful. That is painful. That is painful. GGs, man. End of the day is what it is on pens. Oh, man, that stinks. Stinks. It stinks. No, Kev, no part. I question the decision for Bernardo and Coversich to go next. I get Coversich. I get Coversich, but looking at Phil Fordham's pen and looking at Edison's pen, I'd rather add them first. Here he is. Here's Jude, giving it big and mad, mad the pain, man.  Painful, painful. I blame you for saying down the middle. Well, when I say down the middle, you don't side foot, you're down the middle. You're not a side foot, you're down the middle. Yes, yes, G, Kajiro, mate.  It was still an exciting time. We gave it everything. This is still our city. Come on, lads. Yes, yes, G, Kajiro, mate. I appreciate you, bro. Big up, Gerry, with the fives. He said, to be fair, we ain't been clinical enough all season. Hats off to Rahm-a-Dribb. We didn't deserve to win. It's all right. It's still the double in place, so I die. Double in place, a very good double to be fair. I mean, getting a four-peat and a double is still good. It's just painful on the night, man, especially when you're like the Kevin De Bruyne chance. The Kevin De Bruyne chance is still in normal time.  If he scores that, it's completely different. So painful, man. Absolutely. It's the fact that Eddie did so well to say that first, Pen and Bernardo and Carver just genuinely. Maybe there is science behind it. I'm sure there's some science of percentages. But I've never, ever seen a team miss two penalties in a row and win. It does not happen. The second we missed that second penalty, I knew it was over. I knew it. It like, it does not happen. Pain, man. It does not happen. Pain at all. The momentum swung too far the other way. Yeah, that Bernardo one killed us, man. That Bernardo one. Bernie set the tone. Yeah, it wasn't great. It wasn't great, man. I think to be honest, you know, big up to Jerry and, you know, big up to Jerry as well. Like they're right. We've got, we've got stuff to play for this season. So, you know, you've got to look at the positives, but you've got to allow, you've got to allow five, 10 minutes after a game like that to be disappointed.  Like stop looking sad. Like my team's just been knocked out. Yeah, it's painful. It's absolutely painful. It's something that we really wanted to win as well. Yeah, like I'll look forward. You know, there is stuff to look forward to. But yeah, we're still seeing ahead of us in that, but you can't, you can't deny that. That was pain, that absolute pain. Yeah, it did, it hurt. And I think to be honest, my assessment of it is, is we finally got punished for the holes that we've had in the team all season. You know what I mean? Like we've not been finishing our chances and we've been defensively weak. We conceded an early goal from again, weak defense, and then we had 30 shots. I think like nine or 10 on target didn't manage to score twice. So it's like we've finally, we've been punished. And it hurts, you know? Yeah, dude acting as if he dragged Madrid to a win. I know, my hands acting like he carried the team to it. Yeah, it is what it is. You know, no English teams left in the Champions League now. That's a shame, that as well. And it's at Wembley. It's at Wembley, yeah. It's at Wembley and no representation. I mean, my prediction now will be Real Madrid PSG. Probably, I reckon. Yeah, Real Madrid PSG final. That's a good final to refer to that. It'd be good to watch. Yes, yes, professionally now Emory with the five says, Bernardo and Walker shouldn't have started. They've been way too out of form. No matter how good they are, I shouldn't start. I think Bernardo definitely should start. I don't agree with Bernardo. I don't agree with Bernardo. Kyle Walker's the questionable one, though. Yeah, but yeah. These geese is in the city end. Probably, it won't surprise me. Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. It's a bummer, but well, penalties are not counted as a loss. So home-freaking, Rodriguez-Freaks-a-Stand, that is true. That is true. It's only a draw on the night, ain't it? Taking the positive. It is a loss. Yeah, it's not really, though. Well, no, it isn't, but it is. Like, you know, like, Sky Sports aren't going to be posting about his winning streak anymore. Like, it has technically ended. It has, like, it has. Let me put it this way. If you're not a Man City fan, well, if you're a Freddie major media journalist, like, that is done the entire night, yeah. Yes, yes, 55 mates for 19 months. Bigot mate, full squad clear out in the summer.   And walk as a Sheffield. Useless. But guy bigging up saying, Harlan in the bin, Harlan in the bin. Harlan is in the bin, mate. That was a weird choice. Taking Harlan off. And it is. The thing is, is, you know, like last season, when Alvarez, they were both, I think, as much as Alvarez, like, contributed more at the start of the season. I think they were both in better form this time last season. Harlan did something questionable, but Alvarez, I know we were like three in a lot, but when Alvarez came on against Real Madrid, I was like, oh, buzzing, like, Pep's trying to fucking, like, proper do them, innit? Or is when he took Harlan off for Alvarez, I kind of thought you'd just put off one bang out of form player for another bang out of form player. Yeah. It doesn't really do much. It was ineffective Alvarez. Yeah. Didn't do anything in the game. Yes. Yes. Just honest with the twosies, as a kanji's a big problem along with the end product poo. The end product is definitely the end product. The end product is a big, big, big, big issue. That's what concerns me, because if you don't take your chances, you get hurt. I mean, look at it, man. Like, look at this. We had a chance in that game. We had chances and we don't take them. And then we're sat in out at the Champions League. Like the, that's it. Oh, what's on iron as well is... To be honest, I know it sounds like a weird thing to say maybe, but I think we let them win that time. Like, I don't think they did anything exceptional over two legs to make you go, wow, they were just better than us and they deserved to win that time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They just didn't outclass us for four, nine minutes. Yeah. They didn't outclass us. No, they didn't. Across 180 minutes, like at all, or actually 210 minutes, they didn't outclass us. We allowed them to have it their way. I mean, tonight, like, I can't over, I can't understate the amount of stuff that I've seen online about this buzzing atmosphere that we were going to create, this hostile environment, you know. And again, like, I don't want to call people out, but so many city fans say we're going to walk them off the park like they don't know what's coming. And, like, all of those things could have and should have been true. Like, if Man City played the way that we can play, and not even, like, I'm not even talking about last season's form. Like, I'm talking about the form of the past three or four games where we've beaten teams. Yeah, we've actually been looking at goals scoring. Five, one, and four. What? Like, beating a top, we've beaten the top four team, four, one. We've beaten, you know, Lewin and Crystal Palace and, like, you know, we've been scoring goals and playing more fluid football.  And, like, to me, I know, like, yeah, I don't know. We look like a team that hadn't won the Champions League tonight. We look like a team that was scared, like, oh, I hope we get through again. We gave them too much respect in that game. Too much respect. Yeah, we looked like they were waiting. Yeah, yeah. And I just think we didn't take hold of the game at all for ages. We're almost too scared to make the first move to say, now we're going to beat you is kind of thing. It was ages before anything even got going for us. And then, I know, obviously, Doc, who came on and changed things. But I don't feel like the first half formers weren't it? Obviously, the second half, we were a lot better. We dominated pretty much like the ball. We lost that time because we conceded an early goal. Easy. And it allowed them for 85 minutes or whatever it was, whenever we scored, 80 minutes, however long. I don't take a foothold of the game, just to sit back, sit back. 0-0. If that game had been 0-0 half time, I genuinely back us to have gone through because you saw it then at the end in extra time. It was a much more open game. And I had to back City to score. But the difference, or outscore, Real Madrid would have probably conceded still, but outscore them. But the difference is, is we allowed them to just sit back. Getting on the goal, sit back, and we let them look like the home team. Do you have any concerns going from this now into the rest of the season and FA Cup? Or do you think the team will be very...  It doesn't worry me for the Prem because I think they'll be able to like just... I think our next game is next Thursday, so I think we've got enough time to reset and put it behind us and like, you know, I think I've always seen Pep say after losses like this, like he allows them the night or like the day to go away, like be sad. That's what Pep says, you know, again, just for all these, like, not that there's many, but people who say, be positive, like we're not allowed to be sad or whatever, and we should still... You're allowed to be sad about it. It's like, Pep says to plays, he's like, go home and be sad for the night, or like go home and have a day off tomorrow and dwell on it. But then we come back and we refocus. So I think I'm not worried about the league or at least our form in the league. I'm worried about the FA Cup because I'm worried there's going to be like a real hangover on Saturday. I'm worried about A, because these plays have just played 120 minutes. Yeah. But B, just because I feel like there'll be a bit of desperation to be like, oh, our chances of winning trophies is sort of deteriorating. The way, yeah, yeah. Well, at the end of the day, like, I don't understand how people can say it's over. That game wasn't over when they first scored, do you know what I mean? They'd like, people are very quick to write us off on things. People were telling us that it was over in the Premier League city a couple of months ago, every two months ago. And look at it now, like, the Chelsea game is not over. Like, that's not something that's over. Do I think it would be difficult? I do think it would be difficult because Chelsea have got some good players, man. Ryo, so Ryo with the three big updates says, is Rodgers winning streak over? Yeah. Yeah, it is technically over. Over 90 minutes, no, but it won't be Rodgers winning streak over 90 minutes. No one on BBC Sports is going to start posting, like, Rodgers winning streak? It, like, little unbrackets over 90 minutes or something like that, like, that's not going to happen. It's, yeah, that's not the way it goes. It's a loss. I think, I think a win at Wembley this weekend will bump this team back up again. Yeah, but a loss at Wembley. A loss at Wembley can see us tank, tank. But that, that's, that's the real possibility of all, this is the thing last week was talking about we have these things about the treble talk and all this stuff. We can speak about all that, but nothing is guaranteed. There's still the possibility that you come away with nothing at the end of the season. Nothing's won until it's won. Yeah. So, yeah, like, it is what it is what it is. Like, you just, you just got to go into these games. And am I going to back the team any less on Saturday just because we've been knocked out today on Pentons?  Here's a question. Do you think it's ripped for cover after that? Like it was, his pen wasn't good. But people are quick to say, oh, he's dead. He's dead. Bad signing, bad signing, shouldn't have signed him. Even smashed it for the past couple of weeks. Everyone's been singing his praises.  That's not how it works. What killed me about that just watching I thought during is that's the last kick of the ball. We'll probably see Bernardo Silva in the Champions League for C. Yeah. It was a misspan. Yeah. Bernardo Silva's last contribution in the Champions League. It was a misspan. It'll be that pen. That pen as well. That I genuinely think that might be one of the worst pens I've ever seen. It was a terrible pen. Because it like you say, if you're going to go down the middle, you've got to smash it. Hit it hard as you possibly can. Try keep it low, but like just smash it. Drill it. He literally passed that to the keeper. He side-footed it. No power in Schwent. There you go, mate. There you go, mate. It was it was that lacklustre like it. I was almost shocked that he'd taken it. Like it just side-footed. He just went and taken. Yeah, almost a bit of disbelief in there. But yeah, end of the day. That's that's this. This is what the competition is. I mean, you can't the Champions League is. Yeah. For what it's about money. Can't pull it back. You can't you can't win it everything. You can't win it every single time forever going forward. We're going to have more of these days and we'll have more good days. You know what I mean? Like it just it is what it is, man. It's a treblers and normal guys. Exactly. Yeah. No, it's not. And that's that that's the beauty of the treble in it. That's why it's so good to win the treble last season. That it can't be made in normality because it's a difficult thing to win. Yes. Yes. Radio accident. You're going for your your full naming nowadays. Matt Hartley. I love how you put your your your name in brackets. Big up in 27 months. He said, how do we play? Give us a debrief. Miss the game due to work, man. First half we're dead and we gave them too much respect and we look worried. Oh, they're getting you.  And then is PR. Sorry, kills me. Sorry to interrupt. But like is PR kills me.  Yeah. He's going to come out. He's going to come out and like they're going to start praising him as if to say you carried Madrid. Are you the golden boy? And they'll be like, yeah. Well, you know, it's just what I do. Right. It wouldn't bother now. No, yeah. That's it. Bellingham wins the ball and all. Oron Bapé. Bellingham and Bapé now. Do I think them win the Oros or like get far in the Oros and Champions League? Yeah. Yeah, 100% wins it. Your trouble isn't kind of cheated. Hold that, mate. Yeah. So, yeah. Second half, mate. Radio acts. We played a lot better. Took control of the game. Obviously got the goal. They sat back. Got the goal and then went spend. Okay, I've missed the chance. A glorious chance. We missed quite a few chances to refer, but that fold-in one where he missed the ball. Oh, that is pain. With the twos, I appreciate it, mate. It said pain. This just doesn't sit right. No idea why. I agree. The reason is because of the way that you go out. It's pens, isn't it?  Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.  Favorite big 182 song. My favorite one is actually Miss You. Mine's probably What's My Age again. What's My Age? You gotta listen to it today.  Music video for it. This is classic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't know why I miss you. I just... Where are you? Where are you? Webs from a spider. I'm so sorry. I just love that song. Yes, yes. Shadow rogues, mate. With a super chat. Big up, mate. It says, disappointed, but to be fair, we deserve to win. We had a lot of chances. I don't know about deserves to win. Well, I don't think... Like, if you don't take your chances, you don't deserve to win. No. So, I'm going to take our chances. But... All right, that's what it is. And Joe, I can't remember who just said it then, about it doesn't feel right, legit. It doesn't feel right. That's the thing. It doesn't feel right. And I think it's what people have got memories. We've not been able to have a composition for ages. Yeah, yeah. So, we had a little trouble last year. We got knocked out at the Carabao. The last time we got knocked out of a competition was Real Madrid. It was Real Madrid. So, the thing is, that's what I meant, that it feels like ages since we've been knocked out. So, then it's hard to get used to these feelings, because now we're blessed that this is a weird feeling to have. Big upside with the twos, mate. It says, so depleted, have an exam on Monday. Hope I pass. Well, mate. I hope you pass. I hope you pass as well. No, no, no. You will pass. You will pass. You will pass. Although our manifestations, I haven't done much tonight, but... Yeah, but you will pass, brother. You're back yourself, innit? Back yourself, you'll do well. We used to lose at home. We're just losing it, like, at all like that, man. It's just not it, man. It's not it.  That's why it hurt more, but... We were equally as poor. That first half killed the game for us for a long time. For a long time. For a long time. I see Rogue as well, Blink-182. God, check out BetterHelp, mate. Not BetterHelp, sorry. Boo-hoo, man. I mean, I need BetterHelp. I need BetterHelp, man. You can listen to Blink-182, sometimes you probably need... Yeah, I probably need BetterHelp, but Boo-hoo, man. You can get Blink-182, buddy. I want the less. It's because of the extra weight. I didn't even notice that. It's because of the extra. Right. We'll leave it there. It's been a long one. It's been a long road. It feels like such a wasted time of pain. Stream, yeah. I feel like I'm hurting for nothing. I'm mourning, but we will be back on Saturday. We'll be back throughout the week with streams and previews of the Chelsea game. We need a big Steve show, is what we need. We need a big Steve show, a big debrief. Look, obviously always big up to everyone. Big up to everyone in the chat who has come along for this game and watched with us, you know, sort of been through every single emotion, the highs of drawing back level and obviously the lows of getting knocked out on penalties. It's not always easy, you know, but I think it's the joy of being a city fan and the joy of supporting a football team is you get to see the best parts of your club and you also get to support them on days like this. We will be back on Saturday, obviously. Just one final one for the road. Big up a man. Stay strong, citizens. We go again for the trophy next year and we need more technical players like Doku. Yeah, I'm sure I think there will probably be a big refresh of the squad over some weeks. I think like Bernardo is on the way out. I think, like, I don't know if Pep seems to like Nunes. I don't know, or, you know, like they'll probably be a signing of a right back as well and a CDM to cover Audrey. So they'll be signings, but yeah, anyway, as I was saying, it's a joy, it's a pleasure, it's a pain, but we do it all again and again. We will see you on Saturday for the Chelsea game. Thank you so much to everyone who's come into the stream. Thank you to everyone that's liked and especially everyone who's super-chatted. Really do appreciate it, it means so much to us. We will see you on the next one. Yes, yes, see you in a bit. See you later, guys.


Why the lake is not pink today? Today, the lake is not pink. Why do I have the windy? In the windy, in the sand, the lake is pink. When I see the windy come here, the water moves. Yeah. And the bacteria come outside the lake, but the sand is pink. You know? What is pink? The lake is pink. The color. The color. The color from the archipelago. Yeah, the red pigment, yeah? Do you know what I mean? So what he is saying is that today, the lake is not pink. The reason behind it is that this water contains what? A bacteria. And that bacteria's name is what? Banuela Salina. Yeah, this bacteria contains that. So the more the wind blows, it blows the bacteria. Of which the bacteria produce what? A red pigment. And this red pigment absorbs the sunlight which will give you what? The pink color. My science is in here today. But anyway, we are here.
