Real Madrid (A) - Wed 19th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

Typical City, playing our best game of the season and now getting our hopes up for this.

Still expecting us to go out but replicating that performance today would be a great start.

Gonzales and Stones first 2 names on the teamsheet for me, no idea what he does after that, does he go unchanged?

Most important thing is to get the first goal, If we go 1-0 up it's game on.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Bellingham sent off.

Suspended against us, or just in the Spanish league?

Why not treat it as the one-off that it is:
Go eyeballs-out from the start with a really attacking team, really taking it to them.
Bernebeu or not, it's their 11 against our 11. An early goal and who knows?

If it goes tits-up and we concede a couple in the first 10 or so, accept that the tie has been lost and dig in, just to get through the night with no real psychological damage.
At least we'd have had a go. The few times that I've watched RM this season, they'd have struggled to deal with what I saw during that first half, from our lads.

I’ll have faint hope in my heart if this is the team.

Suspended against us, or just in the Spanish league?

I guess just the Spanish league.

 

[Halloween Jack]

Don't want to lose, but not really bothered about this one. Get top four, win the FA Cup and go again next season.

 

[Barrowby Blue]

Pressures off. Nobody expects a win. Could even be a nice surprise.

Don't mind the result really. Unless it's a big spanking.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Man City will win the proper treble in 24/25. Bluemoon will explode in a hail of champagne corks but the biggest surprise will be on the last title deciding day of the season, the match day thread will have only positive comments.

Looking forward to this a bit more after today. Who knows how it will turn out with new boys starting to gel we may just pull off a shock. Or unpredictable City of this year may turn up.
