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

Not going to get much work done, but then I handed my notice in 2 months ago and that's been true since then!

For anybody really feeling the nerves just watch the Real 2-3 Chelsea game or even better the 4-0 Barca win.

Not a chance they can press. Not a chance they can defend. There is no energy or workrate in that midfield. Casemiro does his best but is one man. For all of Vinicius' brilliance he doesn't put any effort in to defend the space behind him.

He might have sold Ferny and scored a brilliant goal, but he also got done by Ferny minutes before and we went 3-1 up.

The main thing to improve on is how we control the tempo and to close the space for then to swing crosses to Benzema.

Reasonably calm about tonight, although I’m sure the nerves will increase as the day progresses. We’re a superior team to them, and start with a goal advantage. I think Walker will start.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Foden
Mahrez
Jesus

As others have said, another top day to be a City fan.

Let the Dipper sycophants in the media wank themselves off about a team who are second in the PL table and laboured to a win against a very ordinary La Liga side.

The champions will just go about their business and do continue to do their talking on the pitch.

That team does the job.

Would be happy with that team just hope Jesus is down the middle not Foden. I’d be tempted to go with Sterling’s pace down the right for this one instead of Riyad. That team should have more than enough though really.

Not nervous at all, i'll save that for our league matches.
I think we'll draw tonight

 

[Kippax77]

Really believe we could witness controversy off the scale tonight.
All for the sake of UEFAs wanting of their "glamour final".
Hope I'm wrong but if it does happen the club will probably take it lying down.
We have to play out of our skins in the remaining games this season to keep the corrupt fuckers at bay.

Can't wait to get in from work already. Cmon City!!!!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Stress free game tonight please City, yeah as if.Lol

 

[The Black Shed]

Absolutely crucial we score first, RM would then need three and their heads will drop. 0-0 it is then!
