Bayern Munich (A) - Wed 19th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Very poorly worded sentence, In fact it's the total opposite...

I'm not the slightest bit shocked.

Better.

Why do I feel more tension then the build-up to the 2020 final?

Spooky..

 

[SWPISHOME]

Yeh but...we are City.


Seriously though, quietly confident. That was the old City, this is the new City.

I know people are going to talk about the Real Madrid, Monaco, Tottenham games in the past...

If that's the case, We've played against Bayern Munich 7 times in the Champions League and they have NEVER beaten us by three goals.

They won't beat us by three goals tomorrow night neither.

Trying to think of the times a team has come back from a 3-0 away defeat (or an equivalent or greater scoreline) in the Champions League.

2004 AC Milan 4-1 Deportivo, Deportivo 4-0 AC Milan
2017 PSG 4-0 Barcelona, Barcelona 6-1 PSG
2018 Barcelona 4-1 Roma, Roma 3-0 Barcelona
2019 Barcelona 3-0 Liverpool, Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona

That's it. Four times in Champions League history that a team has come back from a 3-0 away defeat in the first leg. Odds are very much in our favour but it can happen and has happened more in the last 6 years than the previous 25 years between 1992 and 2017.

I'm shocked at the amount of people that don't believe in this City side, It's embarrassing to say the least. Bigging up Munich, A team we are after taking to the cleaners only a week ago!

The form we are currently in is outrageous, Fully confident we will win on the night tomorrow. We are a better side than Munich, If we take our chances we will win this game of football.

We have a 3 goal lead ffs grow a set.

Couldn’t agree more mate. Our 1st leg lead against this level of opposition was an outstanding result. I agree that Bayern have problems at the moment, but they have some serious talent. That City team last week showed great confidence and looked like a group who believed that they could punish Bayern.

How many goals do we need to calm nerves on here? I am sure that 5 would not have been enough for some! For me, it should be same team as last week and think we will win again.

Come on guys have faith in this team.

Seems like Barca may be partial to a bung.

Maybe because we weren't in it?

They have to score at least 3 and will be using a lot of energy trying to do that.
We just have to keep it tight and be ready to hit them on the counter.
They tired noticebly in the 2nd half last week, so i just don't think they will stop us scoring.

 

[meeesh]

Just took off now,safe journey blue boys,go and get the job finished.
