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

Think there's a confidence and solidity about us defensively that we haven't always had that will hopefully see us through tonight.
If there's one nagging worry it's reading a little too many articles on how Kyle coped with Vinicius,let's wait till after tonight before we do that.

if we play at a sustained high tempo then we will win,it’s the dropping off that concerns me when we concede or after we have scored ourselves sometimes..

 

[Haaland94]

It's written in the stars, don't worry, Blues.
Haaland to score the extra time winner.

Come on blues....this is the big one (as if you need me to tell you).... feeling nervous for you...

Very best of luck..and hope the referee is strong, and doesn't allow Rudiger to kick shit out of Haaland again....

Control the ball, keep Vinicius quiet....and hopefully the outcome looks after itself...

All the very best.....

Hard luck last night bud, we all wanted you to beat those Luton cunts.

I am down today. Just cannot see us getting past this Madrid side. Then the barrage of cheers, jeers and guffaws from pundits, hacks, presenters and opposition fans will be relentless. It is the only consolation they have left to beat City with. I am reaching for the Prozac!

I have a semi.

I felt last week Madrid played their best game as City were not quite at it.
Tonight i'm expecting our fans to get behind the team & the boys to turn it on.
3-1

That hasn't helped.

From 2 touches.

How far back are you going? In our last 18 games we won 16 and drew 2, the 2 draws were away at Bayern (to a dodgy penalty) and away at Madrid

Several hundred blues just suffered cardiac arrest thinking about that scenario.

It’s such a relief that my boss is on holiday for 2 weeks. There’s no chance I’d have held onto my job this week otherwise.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

will be in town from 2 if anyone fancies joining for a couple settlers

What’re the chances once he returns?

Last defeat in CL in home games for City was in September 2018 against Lyon.

After that, in 25 home CL games, we have 23 wins and 2 draws(the one was the 0-0 against Sporting where we beat them 1st leg 0-5 and the other in a group match where we had already qualified for round of 16).
In these 25 games, 81-18 are the goals succeeded -conceded.

If universe works right then we SHOULD WIN and qualify today!! Please do it!

 

[MadchesterCity]

Win on Wednesday and realistically the only thing between us and a treble will be the trembling, shithouse, red scum. COME ON CITY!!!

And Inter

If we win tonight, probably nil to be fair. Just delaying the inevitable ;)

Imagine there won’t be much left of the business for him to return to if we lose!

 

[MadchesterCity]

A weekend we were nervous about. One Arteta and Arsenal were hoping would give them another bite at the title. Instead we win, they lose, title in our grasp.

What a huge boost for the squad. Fuck tiredness. They will be absolutely buzzing now. We don't need to worry about Chelsea, we have 3 games to get 2pts.

It is all about Wednesday. We have to get absolutely stuck into them from the off. Give them hell. Show them why we are the best team in the world. They are on our turf, it is time to bury them and end their dominance in the CL and go win it ourselves.

Can you come do the team talk

 

[mexico1970]

I am never nervous before a CL game but this one seems to have given me the bug, hoping Pep doesn't fuck about with equilateral triangles and just puts a team out to smash them.
