Real Madrid (A) - Tue 9th May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[bluwes]

Can't wait to get in the pub tomorrow night and go through all the highs and lows lol

Ederson

Walker Stones Dias Ake

KDB Rodri Bernardo

Mahrez Haaland Grealish

I only say Walker because of his pace against V Jnr

Come on Blue boys let's have it :)

Ake hasn’t travelled I believe

I hope you are right but I'm afraid that's a bit simplistic. They have several top talents who are better now than last season: Vin Jr, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Militao...The older players may be a bit worse, but the younger players showed they could be great by beating Liverpool 5:2 and Barcelona 4:0, at their grounds at that. Should not be taken lightly at all.

Fanny wipe take on things again.
City are better than last season, aren't we?
Militao is fuckin' suspended - keep up, FFS - massive plus for us.

We have a great side. In good form. We should believe in ourselves and not fear anyone. 1-2 citeh

 

[Vester]

Real Madrid away in a CL semi is arguably the hardest away game in world football, but we are in great form and I think we have every chance of getting a result. With that said, we need a top performance to do so.
With Ake out I think the same XI we had against Arsenal is very possible.

Ederson
Walker-Stones-Dias-Akanji
Rodri-Gundogan
Bernardo-KDB-Grealish
Haaland

1-3 City!

Stupid take on my post again.

I predicted 3:1 win for us in this thread.

Only because we have an exceptional team, not because Real are worse in the CL than last season. They shouldn't be taken lightly. Would be stupid to do so.

Think it will be a cagey first half and we will have a go at them 2nd half. Hopefully come back with a couple of goal lead but I think 1-2

A similar performance to the Bayern home game in the QF would be welcome tomorrow , defend well as a team and take our chances. Their front 3 are very dangerous, but defensively Madrid will give you chances.

Viniscus is their main threat, hopefully Walker can keep him quiet.

I agree. That's our best starting XI. Just push Gundo up with the others and Stones pushes up to DM
