Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

Hope we are all well personally I have been out of bed since 4am and feel tight as a drum not felt this way for years.
Have a great day wherever your watching the game.

Bring it home blues

Been getting steadily giddyer since Wednesday.
Got to go to work this morning but will be shutting up about 1pm then off to the boozer. Tea is cancelled.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Someone needs to wake up and update the timer.

Hope the gundogan injury isn't too serious. I'd rather him not start though than play 50% fit.
Assuming the team that would start barring no injuries is the false 9 formation and that's what he's been planning all week, who comes in for gundo?

 

[Blue Smarties]

Giddy. Nerves are there but I think excitement of going to the boozers for the first time in a year is outweighing the nerves. Hopefully the excitement doesn’t subside after the first pint.

On the news it looks like City are out there in force.

Shades of Newcastle in 68.
I know it's easy to say this, because I'm not out there, I haven't had to shell out a cartload of cash and have PRC test after PRC test, but it does honestly feel more like a genuine European final in that it's being held in Porto, doesn't it? I'm sure it does to the blues who are out there.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Relaxed. We play our normal game and take our chances we will win and win comfortably. If we don't, then it will be close and if Chelsea win they will have deserved it.

If not this year, it will come soon and there will be more of us there to see it.

My only concern is if we have a player sent off by Lahoz.

 

[Bobby the blue]

Feels a bit surreal. It was around this time 22 years ago I was was getting ready for playoff final which at the time for me was probably our biggest game. This feels the same to be honest. The nerves and expectation are up there.

come on city.

 

[PragueBlue]

Relaxed. Nerves won't really start until after the starting line-up is announced.

 

[Sky Blue]

I'm emotional. Boys in blue never give in.

Defeat isn't an option.

 

[dickie davies]

No matter the result tonight, we've had a magnificent season and considering where we were at the start of December, unbelievable!
Am I in love with the Champions league?
No
But do I want us to win it?
Abso-fucking-lutely, for two reasons
The players want this so badly and I can stand there like Mancini, pointing and shouting "fuck you, and fuck you, and fuck you" to all our critics

I'm excited for this evening, but I'll be as nervous as anything during the game
Half time of the second leg of the PSG game, I paced around the house
It'll be the same tonight I'm sure

Setting off from my hotel shortly, actually change a letter, from my hovel, I know I need to take my Covid test result to the game but do I also need to take my passport?
