Real Madrid (H) Pre-Match Thread

[SWP's back]

Match day not off to a good start, looks like the vet will be putting my 15.5 yr old Aussie Cattle Dog to sleep, not had a good night

Oh mate I’m so so sorry.

Does away goals rules come into play after 90 mins or after extra time?

As long as we don't concede 2 or more we are through. They will have to go for it so think we should go with pace up front and play on the counter

90 mins.

nervous for this, we're in a real cup tie now.

nervous for this, we're in a real cup tie now.

I bet the players are buzzing.

A straight knock out tournament, 3 wins and were in the final, 4 and we win it.

What a prospect !!

This is as much about mentality, as tactics or selections and remember, we won 14 on the bounce under huge pressure last season !!

THIS IS YOUR TIME CITY !!

Like i said previously, i obviously hope we win but if we lose, i hope it's to the better side on the night and not some dodgy decision from the officials.
Bring it on

I hope we show the whole of Europe just what we are about. I would love it if we cut through them as we can. Kev at his very very best being the best on the pitch by a country mile. 2 early goals and then a canter as we run out 5-1 winners on the night.

Of course it wont be like this it will be nervy and tight but I can dream.

Smash 'em City, 2020 has been shit so far, give us something to smile about.

Hoping for a City win. Smash some goals in and stick it to UEFA.

On another note, if Bale isn’t playing due to reasons stated by several ‘media’ outlets, that’s fine. He literally came on for Madrid and won them a game a few seasons back. Dangerous on his day. Not sure I believe that he doesn’t want to play this game.

Nonetheless, come on City!!

Is Bravo fit? If Carson is on the bench there is an obvious weakness for UEFA to exploit. Eddie better be under the strictest of instructions NOT TO GET SENT OFF.

If Zidane is smart he would park the bus and hit us on the break.
