Real Madrid (A) - Tues 9th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Who goes & why ?

Because Haaland is Haaland.

Ederson


Walker. stones. Dias. Gvardiol


Rodri.


KDB. Bernie


Foden. Haaland. Grealish

Don’t mind Foden out wide as he will still be interchanging with De bruyne on the right hand side.

This but Akanji left back.

At least we are in a rhythm. The problem with teams havin a week or more ‘off’ is often negated by the fact that they get out of their rhythm.

Thats it, at this time in the season having games and most importantly winning games is key.

I’ve gone for a draw. Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet. Can’t see us not scoring either.

I think most of us would take that, keep it tight for the home game.

Does a weakened La Liga make Real weaker?

Is it that weak though?

Real Madrid are better this year than last and they have 3 teams in the quarter finals of the CL.

Atletico are barely 4th and just knocked out Inter Milan who were last years finalists and 11 points clear in Serie A.

It's a fair point regarding 3 teams in the last 8 but Atletico and Barca are not what they used to be.

It feels like Real have had La Liga sown up for a month now, and haven't really been pushed. Maybe they are that good they can just turn it on, or maybe not.

A very, very difficult game. I would gladly take a draw now.

I like an away draw in a 2 legged knock out match. Makes the tactics for the 2nd leg straight forward. No debate over stick or twist, just win.

 

[Gingers Dad]

I honestly think both games will be tight I could see it going to pens ..

That would not be good
