This will be a tough one for us. Unless we can get Americ back to full fitness by then and another top quality CB, I can see us struggling to cope with their attack. Granted their defence looks a bit shaky at times just like ours. So it is now down to you Pep if you want to progress we need another top quality CB.

How does Garcia come through if we buy another top quality CB, also Pep said we can't afford it.

KDB remains fit, you will piss these. Madrid lack the kinda midfield dynamism that City has in abundance. Like others have said, worst possible draw for Livershite.

Tough game but winnable if we are on our A game. We will need Laporte back to lead our defence and Walker will need to shut out Hazard. But we have players in KDB, Sterling, Sane (if fit) and Aguero to hurt Madrid. Should be a cracker

Prefer our draw to the scousers. Simeone would have them set up perfectly to counter. It’d be the derby all over again. Real have to come forward, it could be a perfect match up for us.

Hazard rarely had a great game against us when he was at Chelsea.

Real Madrid getting dumped out at the last 16 stage two seasons in a row??...not a chance.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Surprised by some of the negativity on here before a ball has even been kicked. Doesn’t send off the right message. We are the favourites going into this tie and for good reason. It’s a washed up Real side with an overhyped manager; a far cry from the team that Mourinho and Ancelotti once managed.

They suit the way we play. I can’t see them sitting deep and hitting us on the counter, especially not at home in front of their whiny and fickle fanbase, who will want them to attack. Get a result away and we are through—there’s no chance they’re getting a result at the Etihad.

Fuck me, I agree with all of that. Are you some sort of rag unicorn?

 

[BolinCell]

watch them start getting linked to all our good players, they usually try the unsettling game first.
