Just looked on BBC sport a picture of four Madrid fans one with a half and half scarf on.
And another with a hand written sign on a bit of card don't cry pep.

Fuck me.
What kind of cunts do they allow in football grounds these days

To be fair, any time I'm over for a game, there seems to be plenty of City fans with said scarves; they're by no means unique to away fans. Get the tram to the ground; at the top of the stairs, there's plenty of hawkers flogging the monstrosities.

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rudiger, Fran Garcia, Valverde, Tchouameni, Pitarch, Guler, Diaz, Vinicius.

Same lineup as the first leg right?

 

[bladdered]

UEFA deny match referee Clement Turpin will officiate tonight's game in a Real Madrid shirt.

Oh no not Tossard's dad. We are truly fcked.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Is that unchanged from last week?

Mendy injured. Fran Garcia in his place

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Same lineup as the first leg right?

One change. Fran Garcia in at left back

 

[bakerdave76]

What channel is it on ? My mate has prime 12 channels on his fire stick? or any other channels.

 

[Andouble]

If we score within the first ten minutes it's game on.

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Rudiger, Fran Garcia, Valverde, Tchouameni, Pitarch, Guler, Diaz, Vinicius.

I mean under the circumstances, that is the best lineup we could ask for.
No Mendy
Mbappe and Bellingham not fit enough to start

Fran Garcia has hardly played in 2026, and just went 90 minutes on Saturday.
Attack him early and often and make him a focal point in the game.

Otherwise known as “dick” to his friends

 

[citeh94]

Cherki and Reijnders start.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

If we score within the first ten minutes it's game on.

If they score in 10 it’s turn off.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I’ve got a good fucking feeling about this, boys and girls.

 

[bg1968]

They haven't got a clue. So many people will have made plans to get to the ground about 7.30 and grab some tea before the game. Are they just gonna roll the shutters down if some hungry 10-year-old who's been promised a burger turns up at 7.46?

Little lad might have to wait until half time for his Burger , the sacrifices we have to make , wouldnt be so bad if the club would let you take in a couple of butties to eat before the game , but its all about the money (and burgers)

Come on City
