Real Madrid (A) | Pre-Match Thread

He failed to win 7 of his first 9 Champions League away KO ties.

No one seemed to care when he came home with 2 trophies from those 3 years though.

It's a shit stat. Loads of teams win the whole competition by drawing away, or losing with an away goal and then winning at home.

Dippers have got to the last two finals this way

Someone quick tell Pep we're playing Real Madrid in the CL knockouts, not Rochdale in the league cup

Looked at Reals team and looked at City’s.

We have got a better team, let us go out and prove it.

Jose Alvarez Haya (aka Sergio's mouthpiece) says it's Bernardo as false 9 with Jesus on the left and Mahrez on the right.

So now sergio is leaking tactical information too? Poor from him if true.

He has just looked at the team like the rest of us lol

Didn't Liverpool lose four times away in this competition last season?

Klopp is just as shit is Pep then. Neither are an OGS or BFS to be fair......

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

We need to make sure we're still in the tie going in to the second leg. Ideally we need an away goal, or not to lose by more than one.

I just hope we attack more than we did in that dreadful semi final second leg against Madrid!

Yeah fancy playing a team full of kids and reserves

 

[SWP's back]

We are the only team in Europe which wouldn’t play its best striker I.e Aguero

Would Bayern drop Lewandowski?

Depends if Lewandowski was better than Aguero and if he’d been off form and if they had an arguably better striker who’d just scored a winner.

Ah McPointy on Comms thank goodness for that it wouldn't be the same with out a cheeky Scouser commentating on us !
