CL R16 - Real Madrid - (A) 26/02 - (H) 17/03

[bobom]

We're either contenders for the trophy or not. If we are, we have to be able to beat teams like RM. What's the point in hiding?

Bring it on!

If Pep doesn’t need anymore motivating for a game of football he fucking hates Real Madrid. Come on City!

Don't think so that is when the BT slot s best case is 5:30pm Saturday evening

Or Friday Night

This is the kind of draw where we can establish ourselves among the "European Elite". Hoping VAR more will be more unbiased since it's not between two clubs from same country.
If it did it will look like UEFA is discriminating English clubs.

For me we need to score at least 2 away goals to get through. We can't do what we did at the spuds and get beat 1-0 and hope to rescue it at the Etihad, this bent competition doesn't work like that.

 

[The Black Shed]

get Ramos sent off and we'll stand a chance

 

[Ken92]

If we get Laporte back and no other major injuries and play anywhere near our best ,i think we are the favorites this time.

Madrid constabulary can't wait to meet us again with open fists.

 

[cityblue123]

very optimistic about this, great draw, goal or two 1st leg, hopefully a few important players back, 2nd leg at home. Whats there not to be optimistic about!

 

[Bluesiam]

Real Madrid for me, huge game for the players to raise their game and would interest the fans

Maybe you got this the wrong way around?

 

[kdbrise]

Real will be fun but how can you look forward to it??? Bale with sick freekicks, two of the worlds best midfielders of the past decade in Kroos/Modric, and Ramos still at the top, also dangerous in the air.

i’d rather have Dortmund or Napoli. But this is tasty for sure!

WE would have to beat these teams if we are to win the tournament, would rather face them now than having a heartbreak in the S/F or Q/F

Just booked hotel, H10 Tribeca. Pretty close to hotel, pretty buzzed for this. Hope tickets are easy enough to get.

Approach the away game in Madrid with the intent on winning, rather than containing them, and we'll win this tie. I don't want a repeat of Spurs where we fail to get at least one away goal and make life difficult for ourselves. Real's defence is there for the taking this season.

 

[HelloCity]

“Don’t care about the CL”

*City draw Real Madrid*

“OMG I’ve booked hotel, flights and half & half scarf 2 and a half months before the game!”

Keep up the good work guys.

LOL if you think we have been stitched by the officials and var so far then buckle up

 

[B\connellblue]

Worst real team in donkeys. Should be beating them over 2 legs.

Who’d’ve thought?

Little old City at home to Réal Madrid in the second leg of a last sixteen Champions' League tie?

How times have changed.

Hopefully those who went to the group games get first priority after those on the cup scheme.
