Champions League - QF: Real Madrid, SF: Arsenal/Bayern, (H) for 2nd legs

[domalino]

Two years ago that we shit ourselves for the last ten minutes of regular time in Madrid and threw it away.
Fast forward twelve months, and we played them off the pitch during the second leg and embarrassed them.

Call me crazy, but I think having the second leg at home may just be an advantage for us in this rivalry with Madrid.

Not sure about this logic.

We have also played loads of high profile away games in Europe without shitting the bed in the last few minutes.

And if the players mentioned had been suspended, we wouldn’t have done it in 2022.

Almost worse for Arsenal in a way. Having away fans gives the home fans something to feed off of.

Wonder if the Bayern fans will meet up and do their choreographed playbook anyway. The football seems irrelevant to it.

Best stick to the music association thread!

;-)

I can't follow the rules in that either

From an Arsenal perspective PL all day long. Its much harder to win, and after 38 matches the best team wins it. CL there's more an element of luck in individual games and also luck of the draw.

Have you done your tie descriptions yet, hoping for a gritty 1-1 aggregate score and hoping Ederson remembers how to save a penalty?

They aren’t banned specifically from the emirates, they were banned for the next game for throwing flares at Lazio fans 2 weeks ago.

Have they done anything about banning Italian fans after Brighton fans were stabbed in Rome?

Im dreaming about a CL final vs Barca

No other away European match (other then probably Anfield) compares to the Bernabeu
The "Ogre of the Bernabeu" is real when you look at thier history of comebacks in European cup ties over the past decade of sustained success in Europe.

He will never admit it, but I would bet money he is glad the second leg is in Manchester
