That would not be good

If it went to pens, I would want Stefan in nets.

Lets not get carried away here, we are not gonna win the first leg (more than happy to be proved wrong) but a draw at the Bernabeu would be a fantastic result. I was there last year when Kev blasted in his equaliser and you just knew that it was enough, they were gutted.

Don’t think my heart could take it,we haven’t been involved in a champions league pen shoot out,I just get that feeling,there’ll be goals but it’ll still be tight and cagey ..

Same. We were really on the top of our game at that period of last season. I doubt Real Madrid has ever been beaten like they were in that semi final in any European tie.

It's going to be a hard game there and the main thing is to make sure we have something to play for in the 2nd leg. Obviously a win is the best result, but I would take a draw there.

Hopefully Walker is fit and back for us as he's the only one I fancy to match Vinicius for pace and strength. As good as Lewis is, it's going to be a very hard game for him to keep him quiet.

Yup. It will be draw at best. I don't think this City team is clearly better than RM, last two seasons City were clearly better, though still lost the tie in 2021-22 season. It will be tight this year.

Ricco can do it, he's a warrior not a worrier !!

 

[St.Pauli support]

French ref team around Letexier (34).

Had him in the Super Cup win vs Seville on pens.

That would not be good

Will happen to us 1 day for sure.
I'd sub eddie for ortega if it ever looked like pens.
Ederson is hopeless saving pens.

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.

The good thing about Pep stick or twist isn't a debate with him, His full focus is always continue to play how we play and be ourselves and once that happens we win football matches.
