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

[Keeper!]

Pep says the game will be won in Manchester, so not expecting lights out football from us tonight.

I will only go 4-1 to us over there.

Think positive for once!!

 

[Toffeedude]

Good luck tonight. I hope you go on and lift the trophy. This Toffee will be cheering you on.

 

[Keeper!]

That Venicious Jnr terrifies me.

Just off the top of my head, he gifted Madrid their goal in the 18-19 tie at the Bernabeu, the 3-0 beatdown from Liverpool he was arguably responsible for both their goals bar the Oklade screamer from outside the box. I can't really remember the Tottenham tie that well but I know Laporte and Walker let Son run rampant.

I think there’s a stat where Walker has never made a direct mistake that led to a goal. It bet there’s not a single other player that can say that. Everyone makes mistakes, but Walker saves our bacon regularly.

a bar in madrid city fans meet before the match?

Go to Plaza Mayor - that's where fans usually congregate in Madrid.

That Venicious Jnr terrifies me.

Relax.

 

[Keeper!]

Relax.

The helicopter will take care, I would imagine Vinicius is having the nerves tonight, Walker is a ferocious competitor.

 

[JRockBlues]

Will we be getting the "Oh no's" from McPointyman on comms again tonight?

 

[stonerblue]

I can only remember one in the CL (the red card in the dead rubber group game against Leipzig).

Other than that where it wasn’t even a big game, Walker has probably been City’s most consistent big game player I can ever remember.

All his other shit games or moments have come in games like Wigan away in the FA Cup, Palace at home in the league etc.

i have pointed that out to him already but didn't seem to make any difference

 

[Sky Blue]

Long day, been up since 6:15. About 7ish tonight I'll start to flap. Draw will do fine.
