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

Probably more likely, but thats about the sum of all the so called experts i keep hearing on tv and the radio. Madrid will apparently have too much for us and our now terrible defense wont be able to cope with what Madrid throw at us.

Of course Madrid's defence is rock solid, not like Chelsea ripped them apart at their own place.

Indeed, they were absolutely solid at the back last week if you ignore the 12 great chances we created.

This is what pep and the players plus the club have worked so hard for, night's like this.
Forget losing the final last season, this tie is bigger, we are talking about an elite club that's won this 14 times,
we have to get this job finished, then they will sit up and take notice once and for all.

I think this semi-final is bigger than the final because of the respect pep got for them and if we beat them over the 2 legs then pep has built a team that can beat anybody, even Liverpool.

I think we are ready, pep is not 100% but after tonight we will know one way or the other.

I "dipped" in and out of the game on BT (between the match and Maigret on TPTV). I think McPointyarse is probably more biased even than Carracracker. No fouls EVER by Liverpool "Nothing in that", "Just a coming together", "He's gone and done a dive" (sic). Whereas Villareal "Non-stop fouling", "Cynical trip", "Should get a booking for that".

One step up from lfctv or is that down.

Walker is key to this game. Is he fit?

not my type but each to their own

Forget Madrid give me a game like this anyday lol

Well of course, its a tie over two games. But my point is we've gone in at half time 1-0 up, and I don't think we should be looking backwards when we've got the second half to play.

I'd be shocked if it finishes 1-0 tonight

Imagine the length of the V.A.R. checked

Won't be watching TV until 5 mins before kick off. We just know it will be dippers this, dippers that

That's a stretch i turn it on when they're taking the knee....

They're fucking shitting themselves! We just need to turn up and be patient, as time runs they'll definitely get desperate and spread their legs. 3x0 City.

I think we should approach like we would any other game, we should set the tempo and try and score early.
I don't think tonight should be any different.

3-1 to us.

COME ON CITY!!!
