Real Madrid's fans aren't that confident having returned 2000 tickets.

Do we have the entire of south stand tier 1 then or will it be tier 3 that is now allocated to city fans?

Pep and the players dream about games like this. Think we'll put in a great performance.

It's very difficult to predict the team. I guess Rodri, KDB, Bernardo and maybe Jesus are guaranteed to start. Foden is highly likely to start. For the other place in midfield/attack there are 4 options: Gundogan (may provide more control, but does not seem to be in top form now), Mahrez (our top scorer, but has lost a bit of form, imo, was a bit average vs Atletico), Sterling (hasn't scored recently, but his pace and movement may be crucial), Grealish (excellent ball control, and came here for games like this).

In defence, hopefully one from Walker and Stones is ready to play at RB. Maybe Ake will start at LB.

3:1 City.

Would probably lean towards KDB and Bernie in midfield over Gundo for the energy to overrun their ancient midfield, also probably unpopular but wouldn't mind seeing Raz start given he has the speed and movement on the counter to terrorise the likes of Carvajal and i'd imagine we'll have more opportunities to break than usual

We need to convert what we lay on a plate.These are the games that they earn their huge wedge and these are the games that will make this City one that will be remembered for decades to come and to do that we need to win this trophy.

Gundo not appearing in anyone's team but will definitely be in pep's.

Gundo not appearing in anyone's team but will definitely be in pep's.

looks like him or Gabby start.

 

[David Silva #21]

If we had Kyle for this game, We would easily walk all over them!
I think Dias is not fully fit yet, Stones and Laporte have a really better form. So, Dias's form is a real concern for me. Benzema and Vinicius both are having an amazing season.

Ederson
Stones(?) Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernie Ilkay
Mahrez KDB Foden

1-0 city

 

[DMA's]

Ederson

no idea id guess at ake
dias
laporte
zinky

rodri
kdb
gundogan

mahrez
foden
bernardo

That will be the team imo. If we actually had Walker and cancelo available I’d be very confident, with what we have I think it will be 2 1 either way
