Real Madrid (A) CL Semi Final 2nd Leg - Wed 4th May, 20:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[Tarzan41]

Ederson
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
KDB
Foden
Jesus
Mahrez

Team picks itself imo, harsh on Raheem but can’t drop Jesus with the form he’s in

I’d rather we started with 11

 

[Winchester]

Joker

Omg

 

[Elliot houghton]

you're young aren't you ?

Old enough to know throwing away a CL semi would be stupid it doesn't get much bigger than this

Presumably you meant to say that Cancelo is NOT as good defensively as Walker. As for selecting Grealish despite Mahrez having been specifically rested for the tie, you cannot be serious.

Yes, thats what I meant, my mistake.

 

[fodenmagic]

A new tactic, 10 men?

Hahaha - was a long morning!

The final is bigger and we threw that away last year.

The PL is more important.

Just landed glorious sunshine bag in hotel then off to the Irish bar come on city

He was the ref the last time we played Real at Bernabeu. It was one of the best refereeing performances I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, our 2-1 away win in the last 16, Feb 2020.
Ramos red card.

After that match Real lost both other matches reffed by him:
2-0 at Stamford Bridge 2nd leg semi 2021(Real kicked out)
1-0 loss in Paris 1st leg last 16 2022.

Strange pick, isn't it?

We've got a Squad capable of winning both we don't have too chose both are important as each other

City are a bigger club than you think we are. We don’t decide to toss off the CL just because the league is tight. We go for both.
