[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Are we expecting any tactical tweaks?

 

[vin]

Team picks itself right?

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Akanji
Rodri Gundo
Bernardo KDB Grealish
Haaland

Phil/Riyad off the bench around 70/75 mins to really drive at their LB?

Real Madrid vs Man City referee: Who will officiate the Champions League semi-final first leg​

Who is the referee for Real Madrid vs City?​

Artur Dias has been put in charge of the Champions League semi-final clash at the Bernabeu. He is the youngest Portuguese FIFA referee and has already taken charge of three Champions League games this season, handing out a red card in each game.

Referee	Artur Dias
Assistants	Paulo Soares, Pedro Ribeiro
Fourth Official	Daniele Orsato
VAR	Massimiliano Irrati
Assistant VAR	Tiago Martins

Dias officiated City's goalless draw against FC Copenhagen in the group stage earlier this campaign.
He showed a red card to Sergio Gomez, disallowed a goal for the English side but also awarded them a penalty, which was missed by Riyad Mahrez. He also recently took charge of Manchester United's Europa League defeat to Sevilla.


This will be the fourth time Dias will take charge of a Real Madrid fixture, with the most recent match coming in the 2019/20 season when they drew 2-2 with PSG at the Bernabeu.

That is jack gone for fighting then

You are a one player fan, not a city fan, that is clear

So, I'm a fanboy (who has followed City more than you) and Mahrez is FFS. We are SHIT. Why do you keep quoting me with your abuse ffs? Leave me alone ffs. Go have a life ffs.

Extremely chilled at the minute.

Once the game kicks off I will no doubt be in a pool of sweat and no drinking tonight will have gone straight out of the window.

You have followed city since before 1979 ? Very much doubt that , you support ffs, nobody else

Enjoy the game

Just been to the dentist, he is a Liverpool fan but other than that he’s a top bloke .
He just reminded me how Walker kept Mbappe quiet so he will be fine up against Vinicius Jr.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Considering the above factors, a draw would be an exceptionally good result as would a one goal defeat.

Bollocks to that, we'll smash them home and away.

CITY CITY CITY!!!

I have followed City since 1967. You support Sterling and hate Mahrez and other players who outperformed him. Please leave me alone. Stop your abuse.

Laporte in, back 5.

 

[paulsimpson]

We have to meet the threat of Vinicius Jr. Everything seems to go through him when they attack. Defend well and we will get a good result . Attacking wise we are a threat that they will find very difficult to contain as they're missing Militao. We have a great chance.
