Good that the disgusting nazi salutes have been punished. It's a start. Franco is dead you wankers

Aren't Abu Dhabi paying for it too ?

I also read that somewhere a while ago. To the tune of 400 mill or something.

I’m pretty sure Abu Dhabi backed out in the end mate, I think there was a lot of resentment to a few comments from Perez regarding oil money etc and city

Hope you are right.

Atlético should not be underestimated. They play at home and have quality players, especially forwards. City are the better team, and they know it, but they will try to win with the help of their fans. We are hitting form, though. If we play at our best, they'll need a lot of luck to survive. 2:1 City.

Unfortunately it will not be luck that will give Atletico a chance , it will be their play acting / dark arts whatever you want to call it , they really do take anti-football to another level , if Grealish plays i wouldnt like to be in his boots , he was only on the pitch for 20 minutes and was fouled six times and had the ball booted in his face.
Actually think Jack will be OK and will just wind the f*ckers up even more , he has a brilliant attitude when the opposition try to goad him , he just looks in their faces and laughs at them.

Hopefully Bernardo can play after that shocking tackle on Sunday.

As we know the potential semi finals (ie Chelsea/Madrid vs Atleti/City etc) do we know which is semi 1 and which is semi 2 and which game is on on the 26th and which is on on the 27th?

My mum had a fall last night and broke her humerus which wasn’t too funny so I’m going to pop over to the U.K. to be there for her for a couple of weeks so I’m trying to book some return flights but seeing as the total trip time is 36 hours, I’m trying to sort it so I avoid missing any games (yes I’m a kindhearted son like that) as I can’t imagine being in the air during a potential CL semi through poor planning.

I know it’s Atleti, but got a feeling we are going to kill them, quickly. Lisbon style.

As far as I'm aware it's not been announced yet. I think we only know where we will be playing (home first, away second), date will probably be confirmed after tomorrow. We were first out the hat for the semi-final draw but technically we're in the 2nd half for the Final, so can't even take a guess.

We were the home side in the Final last year but our Semi-Final 1st leg kicked off on Wednesday. In 18/19, Spurs were the home side in the Final but their Semi-Final 1st leg kicked off Tuesday.

So I don't know how they decide it.

More confident as the game gets closer, they are slow and won't bother us.

Reckon the game might be done and dusted by half tiime.
