Real Madrid (H) Pre-Match Thread

[boombox706]

My prediction is 2-1, same scoreline as the first leg.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I don’t quite get it. Real have a player who has been confirmed COVID but nobody else has to isolate, then a whole district has to lockdown but the game continues while restrictions are in place for the average joe?

Not sure about that. Madrid press well and probably will seeing they need to score. Against teams that press high Pep usually has been going with Rodri and Gundo in a 4-2-3-1 formation to play out from the back. If we can play through the press, Gundo's deep lying play making skills can help find the forward players who can attack quickly.

Do we know who the ref is for this one?

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

No Ramos is huge really. He's there catalyst and some what of a talisman as well. I'm confident we'll score and get through.

Really looking forward to this game. Wonder if BT will play canned booos over the UEFA anthem :)

I'm sure canned booze will be a feature of the evening for many of us.

I thought he'd had no contact with the squad as they were all at home and tested there. If thats the case then no reason for the others to isolate if tested and negative.

My guess would be Deniz Ayetkin, got previous for reffing a Spanish elite club against a nasty Arab owned club

Can we buy a one-day BT pass in the same way that you can buy a one-day Sky pass with NOW TV?

No, think you can buy a month pass though £25

Thanks blueparrot. May be worth considering.

It’s what I’ve gone for. Casts fine from phone to tv.

The match is on free to air on RTE Ireland.
Downside is that Jim Beglin might be commentating.
