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

What happens if we lose tonight?

Then we’ll have the mood to win the community shield .

Valverde the centre midfielder with 6 goals in 5 season at right wing? Would happily take that

Valverde played the wide right role against Chelsea, Normally he plays a cental role. He's incredibly quick so I'm hoping Walker is back so Cancelo can revert to left back.

if we lost to any other team bar pool i wouldnt be to bothered
but i work with hundreds of the vermin and their smugness would be unbearable

 

[Chi-town blues]

No problem at all . Their back four is bubbly .

Anyone's nerves kicking in yet? This is far from over

 

[Blue Smarties]

Kicking myself I didn't go out there.

I think we’ll win comfortably.

They left so much space in behind them and we got in time after time. They will likely leave even more space tonight because they are at home, and they’re chasing a goal right from the start.

We’ll also have at least one, if not two world class fit right backs available, when last week we had none.

Big players like KDB and Bernado having a full week’s rest, Jesus and Foden coming into their best form of the season, Dias with games and fitness under his belt, Alaba out - they won’t be able to live with us.

im more confident beating the dippers than real to be honest

I’m not bothered about having to play Liverpool, if we get through. Just don’t fancy having to share Paris with them

I would expect a slightly less open match tonight. Real will try and plug some of the holes apparent last week. Hopefully with an actual right back playing we’ll be a little more secure as well.

We were brilliant last week, except for our finishing. We need to take our chances because they’ll take theirs.

If we play well and take our chances we’ll win. We are, at present, the better team, however they have tons of self belief and a striker in incredible form. We need to make them doubt. An early goal (or two!) for us would be fantastic.

We’ll need to start well, we can’t afford to concede early as it will quickly become very intense and intimidating. Hopefully we’ll see if through.

You've jinxed it now!

Taking the score out of the equation if we play like last week the score will take care of itself. On song we're the best in business bar none. Team selection and desire are our only barriers.

 

[el wey]

We just need to be smart and take our chances... If we manage to get a couple of goals before half time I doubt they'll be able to recover.

Our desire is fine. It’s self belief in the CL that might be an issue

I fancy Foden to run the show tonight - Big night for everyone, but got a good feeling for tonight.

Oooooo that’s bad you don’t want to know

I do love this positivity mate, put a smile on my face did this! Cheers!!

Got a good feeling about Foden tonight, too. Pretty much the biggest stage, opponent wise, for him to shine. He’s going to be relishing it.

City deserve to be in the final.

City and Liverpool are clearly the best two teams in the World.

If we do go through and Liverpool beat us fair and square I will still be glad we got there.

Think of it like this…Real Madrid won’t bea

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

I watch the City Match Day Live feed until the match begins, then again at half and full time - at least they present a more objective view than either BT, Sky, BBC or TalShite!

 

[BufordUSABlue]

They surely cannot be as bad defensively tonight, Ancelloti saw last week’s performance and will make required adjustments, he’s way too good a coach not to have addressed this.
However, if we produce the chances like we can, we will convert our share, we converted 4 in the first game and should’ve probably added 2-3 to that.
RM will be tighter, we will be our normal exciting creative selves and thus augers well IMO as we will create and score chances.
Looking forward to the game, albeit very nervous, but we’re good enough and over 2 games we should prove this.
Come on you blue boys let’s get it done and then put the Scouse vermin in their Fkin place in Paris!!!!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Very strange post.

I know I'm loving it!
