Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

Keeper and back four picks itself.

Rodri or Fern is dilemma number one, and I think Pep will go Fern as Rodri has been a bit clumsy recently.

After that it is pretty much as expected with Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, De Bruyne and Mahrez.

Having said that, it will do no harm to have Sterling and Jesus knocking on door and Kun available if needed from the bench.

I think we will show up.

Why would anyone vote lose??

A few have voted lose every time so they'll keep the superstition going. But not for this they shouldn't. Pep has said he has a good feeling about the match, every City supporter should get behind that and will the team to win. City are in the European Cup final, bloody hell!

Getting out of today injury free and Aguero's magnificent end to his last game at the Etihad has got me thinking the stars are aligning. We are going to do this and don't be suprised if we hammer them. Look at todays results from both teams and just think of that if you have any worries.

Noticed Mendy started today's match for them but Kepa finished it - if he's out for the final that's a big blow to Chelsea. Mendy's form has been key to their defensive improvement and Kepa always has a mistake in him.

Only real question mark is Fernandinho or Rodri for the holding position. I’d go for the former.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Mahrez
De Bruyne

Isn't it amazing just how far Zinch as come on this season ? Well done to the lad, he deserves this moment on Saturday.

Watching Fernandinho today, I would start him. He was everywhere on the pitch, I didn't even know what position he was meant to be playing. He seems to be playing with a freedom and enjoying every minute. He's a rock for this team, a worthy captain and if I were Chelsea, I would prefer to face Rodri.

I'm beginning to think maybe Rodri and Fernandinho will both start.

Agree with you. But, he had a couple of mis-placed passes today that put the defense into peril, not the least the backpass that led to the penalty. Hope he got that out of his system today. Walker was tremendous in his covering today for a few breakaways.

Team picks itself, assuming no injuries and there certainly didn’t look like anything today.
