Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

More concerned about the officials on the night...soft free kick/pen/sending off that kind of thing is all it takes to de-rail the game plan. If we don't fall foul of that we will beat them.

Bricking it already. I can’t imagine what my nerves will be like come kick off time. Lahoz has to be nullified. Nothing silly, no leaving a leg in in the box etc. If we can keep Lahoz quiet we have a good chance.

When we got to the Semi Finals I said even if we don't go through I am super proud of the boys. Now that we are in the final I want us to win it!!! This is a golden chance for us and it will be the cherry on top of the cake. I will be devastated if Chelsea win it cause we have been working so hard for this and we truly deserve it.

I don't know how I will feel if we lose it but I am still super proud of our team for what they have accomplished. That being said I want us to win this dreaded Cup!!!

Oh bòllocks, @MeatHunterrr says we will lose, the deal is done, top genuine poster.

I mean he said we would lose against Dortmund, if we some how won we would lose against Bayern (yeah, I know Bayern got beat), we would lose against PSG, oops won again.

So when this dude after his tippity toppity views says we will lose, then get your money on.

This may be a slightly sarcastic post, but the very very very sad thing is, this top tít will be the first to remind us of his wise words and will be fùcking buzzing if we do get beat, pafuckingthetic.

I just see ignored member.

We just need to ensure we are clinical and take our chances when they present.
Too often this season we have missed to many gilt edged chances and then been caught out with a dodgy VAR decision or individual error. We need to ensure that we are far enough ahead that if the dodgy decision happens again its not going to be game changing.
I honestly don't see us not winning we are far better than them and that's not gloating it's a fact.
The players and the club have aimed for this for years now and I don't see us throwing it away.
Only decision to be made is Fern or Rodri I think the rest of the team picks itself and for his experience I'd go with Fern.
Result 3-1 city.

Think the attention he’s got in the media will mean he’ll be aware that he’ll be watched for cheating us again. Of course it might make fuck all difference.

Gundogan will start, nailed on.

Although on the bench, walking up for his medal he seemed a little pained and a slight hobble....hope I'm looking much to deep into it he's been brilliant this season once pushed slightly further forward.

Just over fifty years ago, we went out to these in the semi-finals of another European competition. Revenge, please.

It was my 5/6th game, we were ravished with injuries towards the end of that season, Healey in the nets who I think dived over the ball....

I was that young 7, that the defeat didn't stay with me like the spurs FA Cup final but was perhaps just as important an event in City's history. Back to back ECWC's as Mercer's team was edging to an end and evolving etc.
