Real Madrid (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Dirty Harry]

This was their starting XI yesterday:

Courtois
Carvajal
Ramos
Varane
Marcelo
Casameiro
Kroos
Modric
Isco
Hazard
Benzema

As someone else pointed out, Hazard got injured yesterday and is a doubt for our game.

Cheers Ric, still pretty decent then.

Kroos, Modric, Isco, ... not bad I suppose

Yeah, although Levante beat them last night. Quite an old side too, with five of that starting XI aged 30 or over. Still a formidable challenge to get a result at the Bernabeu though.

We will out play them and deserve to win but sadly will get totally fucked over by the officials as there is no way we are allowed to go through, no way.

 

[Marvin]

Question marks for me are Laporte, who looked understandably very rusty, and whether to start Sterling and Jesus.

I would start all 3. I think Real Madrid's back 4 might struggle with two quick forwards.

Never rated Curtois at Chelsea, think he's shite. They are a solid side still but not what they were. If we have our shooting boots on we will get enough oppurtunities to score a few.

Ederson
Walker
Fern
Laporte
Mendy
Rodri
Kev
Bernardo
Mahrez
Aguero
Jesus

4-1 City.

No, we’re going to win the whole thing
See you in Istanbul

 

[penalty spot]

Big game no doubt, keep it tight or within reach for second leg.
Choice of team for this one is crucial.

Put Otamendi next to Laporte move Fernandinho alongside Rodders see if we can get them with a sucker punch of an away goal. Or if Sterling is back play a false 9 and control things that way.
