Absolutely.

And I think the entire Bernabeu feels exactly the same.

I think the players would probably feel exactly the same.

Because to Sid's point, while Real Madrid will better...

In the first half, in the second half, Vallecano were the best of the two teams.

Real could not get anything going.

And to Albaloa's post-game press conference, where he's talking about the importance of the fans, they were whistling almost from the first whistle... They were whistling from the first whistle pretty much to the last.

In the second half, it was well justified because Real couldn't get going.

They were the second best team by a long way.

And in the end, and I'll be honest, even at 1-1, and Vallecano had the better of the second half, but they're down to 10 men, and then all of a sudden you see nine minutes go up on the board extra time.

And you just get the feeling.

I'm not quite sure where the nine minutes came from, other than the sending off to cease.

You just got the feeling that, yeah, Real Madrid are somehow going to snatch this at the very last minute, and it's going to feel a whole lot different than it is.

But given how the fans have kind of...

shifted their, I want to say, negative focus to the team.

Poor Xavi Alonso.

This performance, even though the result may feel differently, I don't think this performance changes the fans' minds in that regard.

The other truth that is...

When your goalkeeper is in mind, you match nearly every week.

And let's be honest, Gunnar Ruma has been City's best player for a long time.
