Don't know what stream you guys were watching but we won, 4-3. Against RM, injured wingbacks, we got a first half injury.

Some of you sound like you're not up for supporting us when the heat is on.

Cmooooooooooooon city you can beat these in the return leg.

And any win. In our hands

Yeah I suppose it’s no different than being 1 point ahead in the league.
If we don’t fuck up, it’s in our hands. The status quo favours us.

Is Walker back next week?

He was a maybe for today but just missed the cut I believe.

Cancelo back. Better team. They're not gonna get better defensively and we know we're not that bad defensively. I'm going to bed happy. CTID

well they probably will get better defensively as I think Casemiro will be back then

Let’s not forget Real are 15 points clear in La Liga, have the best pedigree in the CL bar none and the most in form striker in Europe. To batter them and win is a great result. We all know our down fall is putting away chances and we were missing 2 of our most important players. We were magnificent

 

[Winchester]

Confident then of progression lads??

 

[Eccles Blue]

You got to give Madrid credit. You can never right them off. We need to outscore them to win.

Errr? We did out score them, we did win.

Although no I’m not writing them off for the second leg but we are ahead at present and I expect us to stay that way!

Thank god away goals don’t count. Gonna be very tough next week they are a different animal at home. Really hope we can sneak it

You do realise we've now beaten them 3 times on the trot (including winning at theirs)? Having a goal advantage before we play them next doesn't really suggest that we should be hoping just to sneak it.

Hope the players don’t feel like they threw it away as we need high energy for leeds game & it might show after this

 

[Mr. Shush]

My take: a vastly entertaining game that went back and forth. My heart almost couldn't take it and I almost went outside to just calm myself down but I didn't want to miss anything. If anything we showed that we can score on this team - very nearly at will. However, the blown chances - perhaps 2-3 goals - is troubling.

What gives me hope is that we will get Cancelo and Walker back. I think Zinchenko had a good game. I love his moves up the pitch and the overlapping. But he needs to get back better. Overall, if we keep scoring, we win and go through.
