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

All we need to do is take our chances, if they do try to aggressively press in the first half hour I think we could have it done by HT if WE TAKE OUR CHANCES.

Spanish press are saying they will use a high press and match us man for man.

If that's true that plays right into our hands.

Like you I think we'll score at least 2

What will they do when Cancelo steps into midfield? If Vinicius goes with him they lose their biggest threat on the break. If Vinicius doesn’t go with him and the rest of their team are man to man, Cancelo would cause havoc

What a load of sycophantic nonsense. Multi millionaires kicking a ball around to make more money for multi billionaires.

The CL is the biggest con in football.

Agreed and they now have three divisions of the bloody thing involving a total of 238 teams if my sums are right.

 

[youngbob]

Not sure how this will go.

I keep telling myself that all we need to do is draw and we'll be fine.

UEFA football is most certainly a silly racket, and the three tiers of competition are ludicrous, but your sentence is surely just as applicable to Premier League football? when you step back, it's a complete nonsense as well.

I just hope we are not reffed out of it

Dick on ITV reporting on dippers game tonight from Spain said Liverpool tonight Manchester Utd tomorrow.

To make it worse, when the girl in the Studio corrected him and asked was his faux Pas showing his bias, he pulled a face.
.
Wanker.

To be fair to the reporter he won't get the opportunity to mention Utd and Champions League semi final in the same sentence. He might as well have said Wigan for all I care

You're starting to sound like you don't want City to win

It's not like it hasn't happened before

Not sure it means much but it is the same ref for this game as it was at the Bernabeu in 2020 when we beat them 2-1
