Real Madrid (A) - Wed 10th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

I don't care what happens in this season's Champions League to be fair. Bread and Butter all the way for me this season League Cup FA Cup and the Prem will be the main aims

Play a weakened team or a mix and match team without Haaland Foden Cherki doku
Haaland Foden Doku all looked done after the Sunderland game. Do we need them running on 50% ?

Pep will rest players 100%, City need to get some game time into Marmoush Bobb Ait-Nouri Ake Khusanov Lewis Savinho Trafford

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

Massive boost if Mbappe is missing, he's been in electric form.

He’s been their main spark all season :0)

 

[TinFoilHat]

We've made DCL look like Messi.

Iwobi look like Pele.

Just hope we don't make Bellingham look decent as well.

After the Leverkusen debacle I will be astonished if it's anything other than a full team.

Palace play on Thursday and need to win, so they will have less rest than we will have.

We will see rotation against Brentford next week in the league cup.

Zico...?

Wolves was 0 4

Not if you're a rag ;-)

I don't care what happens

Not sure whether you are serious, but Pep and the players care about the CL. Most of the current players haven't won it. It would be as big a priority as the PL. If Rodri is available come March/April, we have a decent chance to win it.

For me, the priorities are the Premier League, closely followed by the Champions League, then the FA Cup, then the League Cup. I agree that there comes a point where you have to prioritise.

Even with Rodri back, I don't think we are good enough to win the Champions League this season
Rodri will not be back to his possible best until next season

Palace have not really got much of a travel or a hard game to a Shelbourne

Do we need the Champions League if it's going to weaken our Premier League chances this season
Look, if we get into the play-offs or better, then we will have a transfer window and maybe bring in some new faces

From the BBC Sports website -

Incredibly, Real Madrid versus Man City is the most-played fixture in Champions League history.
Tomorrow night's game will be their 15th meeting since the sides first met

They'll rest or rotate during the game, bit of a difference playing Shelbourne to Madrid.

I don't think we played them until the group stages under Mancini? Or was it Pellegrini?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Not if you're a rag ;-)

I’m a lot of terrible things but nothing anything like that terrible

 

[Zenmanc]

Tough choice between him, Gabriel and Cucurella

Tough shout that.

Mancini. 12/13 season. 3-2 at the Bernabeau, Dzeko goal from Yaya's run. Caved in the last five minutes.

You got it right, but I don't think PabZabb is either.

It can’t be true, I’ve definitely heard from multiple sources that we don’t have any history

PanZabb? I never mentioned him??
