To be fair to Bernardo, he has 11 this season across all comps ... but take your point.
33 chances v Real for 1 goal ... and at one point in the Luton game the shot count was 26-0 and all we had to show for it was an own goal ... means we must be one of the most profligate teams in world football.
A lot of our shots are so week and feeble that by the time they reach the keeper you could stop them with a feather.

For goodness sake give it some welly.
 
Random one. Anyone know somewhere to watch the match in Lanzarote?? Pdc
 
I just don’t see us winning this game.

Pep has an appalling record against the so called top six clubs in semi finals with defeats to Arsenal in 2017 and 2020, Chelsea in 2021 and Dips in 2022.

Podge has a decent record against Pep in knock out competitions.

We have struggled against Chelsea this season and Podge has set them up to disrupt our control.

Our players will be exhausted after Wednesday so I expect a B team with the game against Brighton the priority.

Also, I expect Palmer and Sterling will have a point to prove.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m really struggling for optimism for this one.
Grow a pair
 
If the blueprint us to defend like Real Madrid for 120 minutes and survive wave after wave of attacks, corners and attempts, then win the penalty shootout; then good luck with that - Chelsea defence nowhere near capable of it.
I doubt it, they’ve put 5 past us this season. They might sit back but they’ll definitely look to hit on the counter
