Remember the games a few years ago when they beat us in the semi. I expected both games to be free flowing games and they were two of the worst games i can remember due to Zidanes tactics. He will keep it very tight i think for at least the first half and try and catch us on the break. Im also hoping thats what we do to them and if they do come at us then we will take them apart.

We wont have long to find out will we?Yes but then again why would city play into Madrid's hands by playing expensive football. I think it will be the other way around. We will be compact and seek counter attacking opportunities like we played against Liverpool

Because even Southampton demonstrated that is the way to beat us, never mind Chelsea and ArsenalMadrid are chasing the game, why would they part the bus and Zidane is a brilliant manager regardless

Yes but Madrid didn't have the pressure of chasing the game, did they? My only worry is VAR tonight

If you're going to try and win tainted money, 7's for Madrid to win & us to score is probably a better bet.Just put a tenner on Madrid to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 at 10/1. Hoping it's only 2-1 and that we pip them in extra time or on penalties, which I think could happen.

Anyone who watches City knows that counter attacking is the best way to play against us. It's a no brainer. But dynamics change if onus is on other side to make the play. As much free flowing Guordiola is, he can go compact when it comes to protecting the lead and that's why I wouldn't be surprised is Gundogan and Rodri start together tonight

Teams that park the bus against us lose more than 9 times out of 10.
People have an incredibly distorted view of how successful it is just because it creates a few shock results a season.
