Went to my City-fanatic barber's today and he's convinced we're going out tomorrow and was really down. Asked him to put his money where his mouth his but he wouldn't. I think long-standing blues find it hard to shake off the years of dreading what's round the corner.

My dad is 90 and an long standing blue, he’s adamant we won’t win the league! I keep telling him there is no way we will not win it.
 
If we get past Dortmund, I think we can beat PSG. Need to keep Mbappe and Neymar quiet but I’d say we have a better defence, midfield and less injuries. And we’ve beaten them before. Again, won’t be easy, but we can beat them, and can beat either Chelsea or Madrid if we play at our best.

@MAG did a great job of running down the tie outcomes based on scores for home and away goals, thanks for your great pregame intro's.
For me the magic number is scoring 2 goals. No chance of dodgy pens and they would have to score 4 to go through.

Both teams won 1-0 tonight (Bayern and Porto) and still gone out (due to away goals conceded in the first leg) ...

I agree scoring 2 for us would be great but even one early goal will surely be good for our health. Not sure I can hang on till 90 mins if tie is in such balance like Bayern PSG was till the every end tonight.
 
Getting nervous for this one.

Based on some of Peps comments and performances over the weekend I think we'll drop the false 9 and go in with a proper striker. Ill go:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundo
KDB
Mahrez
Foden
Jesus

Expecting it'll be a nervy slog but I'll predict 2-1 City with a late City goal to put it out of reach and we get through. Haaland tries to get on the City plane after the match and has to be removed.
 
One goal for us would be huge. They would then have to score 2 at least. As it is they still have to score 1. They'll be on the front foot from the off. Space will be available like it was in the 2nd half at home. Defence is not their strong point. Phil could have buried 2 before they got their equaliser. Hopefully we will take the chances we get .
 
It is a must win and it gives us a springboard for a massive 2 weeks coming up.

Semi, League Game, Final, CL Semi
 
Let’s just hope the boys don’t get weighed down by expectation,pep briefly mentioned something about this after the first leg,if we play the way we know they can then we will get through simple as that ..

Hope we don't play that CM. Dortmund would most likely play through it with ease. I'd prefer to see KDB as a false 9 and Bernardo in CM to add a bit of energy and help prevent the breaks. It worked well for us earlier in the season.
