All right, it's an achievement to be one of the last four teams standing in the CL, and this is the second year we've done it. But the performances against a very good Sporting were underwhelming. Clean sheets are great, but we had one shot on target, the same as Sporting. xG was below 1. (Both teams did hid the post once.) There was no cutting edge.
The camera focused on Rice after the final whistle, and he looked unhappy. Yeah, they're through to the semis, but this was not a morale-boosting display before the season's most important game this weekend at the Etihad.
Meanwhile, in Munich, it was a 4-3 goalfest packed with errors, fine goals, and even a dumb red card. The 6-4 aggregate for Bayern was ten times the total number of goals scored in our dreary contest with Sporting. We're just no fun.
