Real Madrid (A) - Wed 11th Mar, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[ALDN_Ko]

This is an all attack lineup wow, I wonder the extent of RAN’s injury

 

[city saint]

wingers i like it

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Odd.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Erling Haaland, who was rested for Manchester City's FA Cup win at Newcastle at the weekend, returns to the starting XI.

 

[CPPSC]

if the pre match thread is happy with the team we will lose if threy lose their heads saying pep has lost it we will win

Looks like we might win then !!!

 

[TheKippaxM14Blue]

Can't be many teams that have won twice in one season at Madrid. Chatgpt suggests it is just Barca in 2019. Imagine there might have been some other years a Spanish side has managed it

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

3 at the back with one of the wingers as right wing back?

 

[Ajm1985]

Back 3 with the ball, much prefer that to back 2

 

[KingGeorge]

Nunes on the bench tonight? Interesting

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I wouldn't mind Khusanov at RB & Savinho as RW. Savinho's best games have been when he's had space to run into.

You called it mate.

 

[its a Barm]

3 at the back with one of the wingers as right wing back?

Yes I suggested that think it would work here hope so.

 

[city saint]

3 at the back with one of the wingers as right wing back?

khus right back nico left i think

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Trent?

Early team news for Madrid

There you go now
Trent.

 

[alexmcity]

Extremely attacking :)

Doku at No 10 or both Semenyo and Haaland strikers with Doku and Savinho on the wings.

Guess we play with 3 at the back, perhaps O'Reilly will be more in midfield.

On paper sounds really good.

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

------------Donnarumma
Khusanov Dias Guehi O'Reilly
------------------Rodri
--Savinho----Silva----Doku
-------Haaland--Semenyo

 

[MCFC1993]

I imagine out of possession it's:

-------------Donnarumma
Khusanov--Dias--Guehi--O'Reilly
Savinho--Rodri---Bernardo--Doku
-----------Haaland---Semenyo

In possession god knows, trying to blitz them I'd guess.

 

[urban genie]

Peps savinho love in back in ful lforce.

he had a good game last time out but in over marmoush or cherki is nonsense

 

[waspish]

Pep wants to end the tie tonight.

Do you or do you think pep thinks the tie could be ended tonight?! No chance is be tight maybe a draw or a 1 goal lead by either team! Referee as well can play a big part! The referee was good last time we went there, hope we have Similar..

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Donnarumma
Khusanov Dias Guehi
Savinho Bernardo Rodri O'Reilly Doku
Haaland Semenyo

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Odd to trial a new formation in such a big game. I wonder whether it is more like a 4-4-1-1 with Semenyo playing behind erl?
