Real Madrid (H) Pre-Match Thread

I can't shake the feeling we might smash them.

If we get the first goal, they're going to have to adopt a suicidally attacking set-up and Sterling, Foden, Jesus, KDB on the counter-attack will be a massacre.

Ramos is such a big loss for them as well.

I'm not sure us scoring first would change that much, they need to score at least twice whatever happens

Is Ramos 100% out?

Is Ramos 100% out?

Yes, he's suspended for the red card he got fouling Jesus in the first leg.

Is Ramos 100% out?

Mate he got sent off in the first leg!

Not sure why people think we'll smash them. They've just won la liga and are in good form. Yes their leader will be missing but still full of world class talent. Think it'll be a very nervy night with hopefully us seeing the tie through.

Because if any team starts at effectively 2-0 down, they have to play in a way that makes them a lot more vulnerable.

Cheers; it’s that long ago since I watched that game, I’m struggling to remember it! Good stuff anyway.

In fact maybe BT sport would be kind enough to air a full re-run of that first game in the run up to Friday’s match...

 

[Easy]

Hopefully Fernandinho next to Laporte and not Garcia.

Benzema is in top form, Garcia is simply not up to it, struggles 1v1.

Yeah he's cup tied.
