To the surprise of absolutely nobody, they charge as much as possible.

This a game that's only happening because we were not good enough to avoid this. That should be reflected in the price, cup schemers should have got this for a tenner max, they'd lose out on what, a million in gate receipts? Not going to have any impact, especially when this is all extra revenue for them anyway. Any opportunity to rinse us.
 
What do we think it will sell out at for the away leg? Thinking of booking flights and hopefully the criteria drops to all season card holders
 
isn't this the 5th time in 6 years we have played Real? One thing is for sure ,the football community will be salivating at this fixture because of what it has delivered in the past. Real will not have wanted this fixture and will have groaned when they got us rather than Celtic.

I personally think that we have a chance because the front three do not track back. Pep will have a plan.

They used to call us little Citeh, they can't call us that anymore !

If Vasquez starts at RB, please play a real winger to cook. If only we had a dark arts savy player like Ferna to bait some of the at risk Madrid players into yellows.

I expect a lot of goals both ways. Us playing football and Madrid countering and/or getting lucky.

The irony of Bellingham saying he didn't want to go to City because he didn't want to go to a “plastic” club! Or words to that effect. A youngster who may be in the trade, but who doesn't know football history at all. They are the quintessence of a plastic club. Do they actually have a single academy player in their squad at present?

Last year we won the Champions league with Nacho, Carvajal, Joselu, Valverde and Fran Garcia. While not from the academy, Vinicius and Rodrigo played first with Castilla before joining the grown ups.
So, not only our captains are academy players, some of them are part of the limited list of players who have taken the Cup six times.
