Did you know that we are playing the second leg of the Dortmund game exactly 50 years to the day that we played the first leg of the semi final of the ECWC against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?
How do I know that? April 14th 1971 was my 21st birthday! I was there, of course.
my birthday present from my parents was a trip to Copenhagen 2 weeks earlier to watch the quarter final replay against Gornik Zabrze. They said they were going to buy me a watch, but instead paid for the trip.
They then gave it me before we left for London - I've still got it! (Doesn't work now)
Thanks, mum and dad. RIP.

Nah, hopefully Madrid hammer the last nail into their season in the quarters.and Milner in the Final.
I am dreading it actuallyIs it too soon to be excited for this game?
2 and a half weeks away and I just want it to be here now.
I hate the fact that there is this absolutely pathetic international break before our most important month in the season. Not only does our squad have to go away and play up to 3 games, it simply breaks the rhythm, then travelling/fatigue/injury concerns on NT duty. Lots of factors. Not a fan. And to come back and play Leicester, Dortmund within space or 3 days says a lot in itself.
Think bar Aguero, Jesus, Ederson, Fernandinho, Laporte and Mendy (only one insignificant if he travels or not), others are on international duty. Meaning our main squad/XI is away. Correct me if I'm wrong on the south American lot not travelling for friendlies.
Dortmund on the other hand, have nothing to lose in those quarters, which makes me worry, and they do not have any major concerns even with injuries as they have enough options to rotate, I think Sancho being potentially ruled out of first leg is a big plus for us.

Dortmund are missing their first choice and back up full backs on both sides, their best midfielder and their best creative player and might not have any of them back for that tie mate, they've got plenty away on international duty too, wouldn't go feeling too sorry for ourselves just yet :)I hate the fact that there is this absolutely pathetic international break before our most important month in the season.

The international break is a pain in the arse and personally I think this season of all seasons it shouldn't be going ahead, but these breaks happen every season and the players need to come back switched on and hungry and ready to start back right where we left off. It's also a chance for Guardiola and his team to catch a bit of a breather and get a chance to do some work on upcoming opponents after months of just reacting to the next upcoming game.
Much better and positive spin on it than me haha.Dortmund are missing their first choice and back up full backs on both sides, their best midfielder and their best creative player and might not have any of them back for that tie mate, they've got plenty away on international duty too, wouldn't go feeling too sorry for ourselves just yet :)

I agree but I do feel rhythm is a big factor and it breaks up with our players being away, fatigue and obviously injury risks are also a factor. Just hope it all turns out well is all. Pep has in the past cited rhythm and lack of games before big stage as a factor too, but I'm hoping it doesn't hinder us
