Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

Agree with you. But, he had a couple of mis-placed passes today that put the defense into peril, not the least the backpass that led to the penalty. Hope he got that out of his system today. Walker was tremendous in his covering today for a few breakaways.

Are you sure it was Zinch? I thought it was Kev?

They are hard to tell apart on the pitch (at least appearance-wide), but here's what the MUEN said in the player ratings:

Aleks Zinchenko

Sloppy moment from him led to the penalty, but he was also a slick attacker. 6

A few have voted lose every time so they'll keep the superstition going. But not for this they shouldn't. Pep has said he has a good feeling about the match, every City supporter should get behind that and will the team to win. City are in the European Cup final, bloody hell!

It’s called CityItis!! A common ailment, whereby the fear of losing becomes overwhelming, causing rash statements and actions.

What’s going on with Chelsea, they’ve literally fell over the line to get top 4 and stunk the place out losing a cup final.

I hope our boys didn’t celebrate too hard last night and are back in today focusing on the final.

Will the other two be the first fa cup and qpr title game? Completely agree if so.

Absolutely. FA Cup because it was winning something, then the title for obvious reasons. Winning this would be the final piece of the jigsaw.

Hope Mendy is out for the final.

It was a strange area of the pitch for him to be in. I thought it was Kev dropping deep and being a bit sloppy.

Jesus over Gundogan is a tough one. Despite Jesus' shaky finishing, I think we need someone to occupy the centre forward position properly though, making incisive runs and pressing them hard with a bit of speed. We really looked at our free flowing best against Everton, sans Raheem's form.

Too often in the second leg against PSG we had no one to pass to high centrally, or to use as an aerial threat.

I always look to see if @TINY has voted us to lose "think it's his superstition " it's part of my match day ritual, and this season it seems to have done the trick:) ,one more vote @TINY for good luck : )
