Real Madrid (H) - Wed 17th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

We need to start fast again tonight. Go at them and keep the tempo up.
We are a better team than them and we play better football than them.
They have some great players on the break but they fear coming to the etihad and have let 4 in for the last two years
Let’s prove ‘because we’re Real Madrid’ means nothing and footy is played on the pitch

My only worry is if the game is still tight they bring on Modric last 20-30 minutes he did make a difference last week..

few of our players look gassed out in the last 30 last week, hopefully a nice rest for bernardo, silva , rodri and a fit walker and the adrenaline of the tie will mean they go big for 90 mins

Help, help.... I've got a croaky voice today, no sore throat just no voice!! It had better come back before tonight or I'll be sending semaphore signals with my scarf in support instead of shouting......aaarrrggghhh what can I do???

send me your tkt ;-)

You really think a little thing like no voice is going to stop me going to the game.... as I say in my pre-match postings to the officials.... think again sunshine. :-) :-)

I'll be there with my little walking stick... I'll wave that about in support if I have to. :-)

Sorry @lazerblue

To keep the record going and voodoos away, we'll need to score 3 tonight (at least).

According to BBC website, both semi-finals will be played on the same evening. That cannot be right as surely one on Tues and one on Weds makes better sense.

City 3-0 by half time and run Madrid ragged (pun intended.) Another one on the hour then sub off KDB & Haaland and as RM fall apart the crowd sings "are you u****d in disguise?"
