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

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 GMT.

Barely laid a glove on them last season, think it's going to be difficult this week as well.

Seems to be a bit of turmoil with their players and the coach but they're doing alright. Think Alexander-Arnold is out injured.

To get top 8 we might need at least a draw, definitely need to win at least 2 of the last 3.

Palace (A) on Sunday.

Tough to predict a line up after the Leverkusen game.

I think we will get a draw.

Gonna surprise everyone and win this one 1-2 haaland to get into the goals again!

 

[lasereyes]

Tbh it wouldnt be a shock if we won. Our offence is looking good and they are not all that, especially this season. They lost and were decidedly second best to the scousers whose form since the first 5 has been relegation-esque

 

[Blu1]

no pressure on the boys for this. That might do us good

 

[Gaz76]

4 nil city,

 

[SamTheGuru]

4-4

 

[Eaststander1]

Can't see us winning this to be honest ....

 

[N1985]

5-4 either way reckon it'll be a classic

I'll take a point

 

[TurboDuo]

Donnaruma

Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
Ait Nouri

OReilly
Nico
Bernardo

Foden
Doku
Marmoush

Win. Madrid are nothing special. The dippers battered them and they're shite.

 

[super_city_si]

Mbappe scoring for fun. Dias and Gvardiol high line? We’re also scoring for fun though so fuck knows. Good bet for over +5 goals.

 

[Ithryn Luin]

4-3 Madrid! 2 pens to them and we will play 45 mins with 10 men!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Think we'll be relying on the Bodo and Galla games
I'd actually rather prioritise CP after this weekend

 

[TinFoilHat]

4 nil city,

Beat me too it.

One win will almost certainly qualify for the next round.
The team we pick against Madrid team wil depend on whether Pep goes all in trying to make the top 8.
With half the teams having only 2 games left by the time we play on Wednesday, he will have a fair idea of what we need to do.

Gala home and Bodo away are easier ways to get those 2 would you say?
For me, anything here a bonus but still think we can get top 8 if we lose and win t’other two.

 

[Damanino]

could be a game like the Arsenal-City was earlier? we conceded possession and defended almost all game with very little attacking. but almost won.

 

[alexmcity]

I wouldn't be surprised if Pep played today's XI in Madrid.

The game is likely to be great to watch.

Fucking hate this fixture.
