The atmosphere could literally be the 12th man on Tuesday night.

Agreed here. If we want to get anything out of this tie, the crowd in that stadium has to be on it from the moment they enter. Not waiting for the team to give us something to cheer about, get behind them and give them a noise that's something to help them.

Forget ticket pricing, half and half scarves, neutral fans, away supporters in the home end, Pep's tactics, players we don't like etc etc. If you are there, sing, chant, clap, roar and get behind the team. Do what 'you' can.

We can debate everything else later (either as a side issue to an amazing aggregate victory, or up front and centre after a defeat).

Tomorrow night is about turning over those cheating bastards in Real shirts and nothing else.

Great post. Being the 12th man is all that matters.

Yes. This is exactly it.
No point sitting there waiting for us to comeback. Let’s fucking give this team the support they deserve. They will need everything they can get from the support.
Get down to the stadium early if able, give the team a huge welcome and show we believe in them.
As I’ve said before, we have nothing to lose tomorrow night, Madrid think they will turn up with the game won and put another three on us. They think they’re untouchable. If we go out, let’s give the players an occasion to go out proud of.
Get behind the team, fuck Madrid, all we can do is make as much noise as possible and let’s hope we can somehow pull off a miracle.

Cmon blues, why not?

Problem is, these days, most city fans brains aren't wired up like that. I genuinely think it's now a majority that have a sense of entitlement.

They want to turn up and be entertained, they will not tolerate poor performances, they will not tolerate the "best manager in the world" not performing, they will not tolerate the club making some bad decisions, everything that is wrong with the match day atmosphere isn't their fault, leaving early isn't their fault, nothing is their fault, it's all the clubs fault, the club and the owners, the ones who gave us results and trophies beyond our wildest dreams. I think a lot of it comes from people not being able to differentiate between the 'club' as a business entity and the 'team', profit players trying to play to win games.

It would be nice if everyone turns up and supports/helps the team to win (even if the performance is shit), rather than expecting to be delivered a performance or result worthy of supporting.

I genuinely feel tomorrow could be won or lost by the atmosphere.
 
This could be NSL2 and SSL1 next season, chanting City, City, City, City……. back to one another.

Last night when Lazio played AC Milan at the Olympic stadium in Rome. Both ends and the stadium chanting Lazio to one another.

Thought Lazio's fans were all boycotting games...

A quick goggle...Lazio found inspiration from the crowd, as the fans suspended the boycott of the Stadio Olimpico that had left the stadium painfully empty and desolate in recent weeks.
 
Looks like a display going across the east stand on a recent X video. Anyone know of any club plans besides the light show happening ?

They did. They boycotted the previous 4 home games. The Lazio fans came back and supported the team against AC Milan. The atmosphere was superb. And it helped the Lazio team beat AC Milan 1-0.

Cannot think of a British team's fans doing this ?
Fair play to Lazio fans, by showing they make the difference and standing up to the Club they obviously, fiercely support...

Arsenal fans do it.

It doesn’t come across very loud on the video, but it is when both ends chant it to one another on the TV.

Spurs have a similar chant with different lyrics.
