I'll take a draw now, thanks. Save a couple of goals for smashing the Real Madrid in the semi............

Trippier thinks the Atletico lineup points to them being much more offensive and pressing quite high.

I watched last week’s game back this afternoon, and I think we were well under par.

I think we’ll be much better tonight.

I only watched it live on the night, and thought we did well against the most well organised defence (and deep defensive midfield) that I’ve seen all season.

Hope they go down 0-3 at halftime.

Good to see you on here Seb. How are you doing?

It’s one of the things that does my head in, when people say “Pep’s got no Plan B”.

He’s probably got plans up to about L and M.

It's because people think plan A is possession football and plan B is lumping it forward.

Keeping posession is the foundation of everything we do and Pep makes subtle changes from game to game and during games depending on the opposition's strengths and weaknesses.

I don’t mind Foden playing false 9, when he drops deeper. I think I he’s good at that. It’s when he plays as a proper 9 where he’s most ineffective.

Better players, better team and better manager. Play to our best and we should all be happy later tonight.

No. That'll be Barnsley's finest.
