My initial reaction after the first game was that Dortmund cannot and will not play that well again and I stick by that. I also thought we were always more likely to win the away leg and we will. We know what's coming and will prepare, we have some of the best footballers in Europe and will play at a faster tempo over there to starve their front men. A Bernie masterclass awaits.
 
Jeez have some belief will you we have an unbelievable team so stop flapping for god sake!

We DO have an unbelievable team, that’s for sure. I hope that we soon can banish the millstone of ‘going behind and losing’ error that’s hanging over us, and the media love.
If we go on to beat Dortmund, we still have a bucket load of games left where we could easily get caught out AGAIN because the opposition is not in any other competitions. It’s going to be a wild run in, there’s no doubt. I hope we can keep the players fresh by his rotation tactic, BUT those that come in, MUST know they’re playing for the team, not themselves.
 
Shit myself for a second when I saw the reffing team were Spanish. Trust this lot haven’t got it in for Pep like Snr Lahoz?

I have no idea mate ... the ref is Madrid born and part of Madrid ref assoc so no idea if all Madrid are anti-Barca/anti-Catalonia/anti-Pep ...

A quick search for his name seems to pull up a lot of forum chat for his "weak performances" this season and some surprised at him even being given a big game by UEFA like this one ... who knows what they are up to.

That Schalke game was when he awarded them two penalties and sent Otamendi off.

The VAR guy is known in Spain as being “very Real Madrid leaning” https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/clasico/martinez-munuera-herencia-madridista-8173752
 
Pretty much same team as the first leg for me

maybe he’ll change a bit at fullback.

Foden had their number completely
