Real Madrid 2nd leg - how?!

If we do progress in the Champions League to the Semis/Final then the Premier League need to delay our opening fixture of next season. No way should we have play on the opening weekend of September 5th. Something like a 10 days later opener in midweek would be more helpful given the circumstances but who am i kidding?
 
I don't think we will be allowed to beat Madrid a second time or draw with them, especially if the cas outcome goes our way.

They are 33-1 to win the tournament, worth a sneaky tenner.

They'd rather deduct 15 points for not fulfilling the fixtures.

I know you were talking about the Madrid game. What I was getting at was that City's avoided the issue with the Madrid game but later games will all be played in Portugal. Unless the 14 day UK quarantine is lifted City, if successful against Madrid, will in practice have to stay in Portugal from a few days before the last 8 game until they're knocked out or win it.

Yes I do understand.
 
Pep Guardiola: “We are going in a specific way to play against Real Madrid, we are going to try to maintain our rhythm in our training sessions, which I don’t have doubts will happen..."

“We are going to remember what Madrid is, we’re going to see the games they’ve played since lockdown and they’re not going to play with Sergio Ramos so we’re going to see how [Eder] Militao and [Raphael] Varane play together in the games..."

“We are going to prepare for the game with the advantage that we have a little bit more time to prepare specific things about them.
 
Travellers from Spain now having to self-isolate for two weeks, not sure if this applies to footballers?
