Madrid Away

[cleavers]

Well done, everyone! We often heard you loud and clear!

Great to hear the "slippy steve" song, just as he was giving his opinion (on madrid).

 

[jrb]

Yep. Enjoy your night in Madrid everyone. As others have said, it’s a brilliant city.

It was Champions League. The disastrous 2012-13 campaign when we finished in last place in our group.

I was there for 3 nights that season...didn't see much trouble (doesn't mean there wasn't any, obviously) except for a bit of trouble in the centre before the game when the police had to intervene.

Where/when? My main recollection is very giddy City fans doing a Yaya/Kolo conga up and down the canals and a giant rubber cock making it's way around the bars to the ground.

Is that supposed to be the Spanish Armada?

Strange thing if so as they got their arses handed to them on a plate.

 

[shemnel]

hopefully we can win there next season too.

Ended up like the Spanish Armada for their fleet!

Great banner that to be fair to them. Feels good that they are bothered about us enough to make it.

Can we play them again there this season? I remember reading all the new regulations for the new format back in Summer 2024, but can’t remember if you can draw teams in, say, the semis who you played in the League Phase.

You can, Arsenal played PSG at home twice last season. Once in the Group Stage, and once in the 1st leg of the Semi Final

Any idea on how many tickets we've sold for tonight? I went in February and I reckon about 1500 went

idk how many we’ve actually sold but from 631 it looked almost packed out from our side

2nd time ive been to Madrid. Went in 2023 when kev scored a thunderbastard on our way to the treble.
This trip might have been even better. City fans in the stadium were quality.

Francisco Pizarro?

 

[Gray]

Wasn’t it the English weather (wind, smashed on the rocks) that fucked them over? Mind you, a win’s a win

No it was our faster more manoeuvrable vessels and the use of “fire ships” that did for them. Also the Spanish tactics were flawed, so nothing new there.

Went the wrong previous 2 years, last season in particular it was hard to hear ourselves above the plastic madrid fans tbf, but the other night I thought our fans were magnificent
