Champions League Playoff Draw | Fri 31st Jan, 11am | Real Madrid

[MCFC1993]

If you need a little cheer....

That's what we need, from the team, the fans, the manager, we need that performance.

Oh, the second leg's at the Bernabeau as well? Yeah, forget it. Even if we play well, the ball will somehow get struck by lightning in the 89th minute and just end up being blasted in our net anyway. And the ball will split in half as it gets hit by the lightning and the ref will count it as two goals.

How mint would be to knock these twats out early

extremely minty indeed.

Anyone know what the situation is for us regarding these I can definitely see one or two of the Madrid getting booked

We’ve not got close enough to other teams to actually commit any fouls.

 

[Axel Freed]

The irony of Bellingham saying he didn't want to go to City because he didn't want to go to a “plastic” club! Or words to that effect. A youngster who may be in the trade, but who doesn't know football history at all. They are the quintessence of a plastic club. Do they actually have a single academy player in their squad at present?

He doesn’t know the meaning of plastic and I bet he doesn’t know the meaning of quintessence either, I know I didn’t !!

Would be very happy if Rudiger and Bellingham miss the 2nd leg!

Dias is on 2 yellows.

Nunes, McAtee, Bernardo, Stones, Grealish, Savinho and Kovacic have 1 yellow each.

I think Dias would miss the second leg if he gets a yellow in the 1st, as he has 2 yellows already and 3 gets you a 1 match suspension for the next game.

No other player has more than 1 yellow currently. Pep has one too from the Brugge game.

He probably won't be fit for the 1st leg anyway

waiting for camel gob to check is diary

I’m sure he will. He’s an expert at finding a “window” of opportunity.

I can just Rico keeping Mbappe silent all night.

Change defeatist to realist and youd be more accurate.

A ZERO % chance of beating Real Madrid is as defeatist as it gets

 

[Gumzy97]

Bet Madrid are overjoyed with that draw. Its a punishment round anyway for teams who didnt make the top 8 - weve zero chance over 2 legs with the 2nd leg being in the Bernabeu and with our OAP midfield, but at least we get to be knocked out by a big side and not FC Shite. That 3-0 lead we chucked away at home to Feyenoord really bites with that draw.

Madrid won’t deal with our attack. Madrid main weakness is their defence it’s awful. Marmoush and Haalands movement will cause all sorts of problems. Games Madrid have struggled in this season were runners in behind. Barca did this and battered them. I watch the Spanish league , watch Madrid and other clubs ,, Madrid aren’t the best this season. Their defence is awful has been all season. We should go long to Haaland and they won’t be able to deal with it. We just need to hope our defence can hold

Imagine thinking we'll go through..

 

[Really_here]

Probably going to give this one a miss
Flight prices pretty crazy although hotels seem reasonable

surprising how quickly the prices have jumped up compared to the week before !

 

[Blue Abroad]

Imagine thinking we'll go through..

I know, the hubris, the entitlement, the delusion of some on here…

 

[Elliot houghton]

never known such an entitled footballer haha

 

[Dax777]

New it'd be Madrid

 

[Dax777]

I can just Rico keeping Mbappe silent all night.

Mbappe would probably start at 9. So Rico will have to deal with one of the Brazilians. Vini or Rodrygo
