Personally I’d call them a fucking difficult side to beat, this is a very close tie. Not sure I would presume to have the ability to measure different/evolving sides over a 12 year period, but I guess some other posters are just really fucking clever geniuses

Sheriff Tiraspol didn't find them that difficult to beat.
 
Pep often gets criticised for overthinking these types of games, but with the injuries to Walker and Stones, it feels like this is an opportunity for Pep to get creative. Rather than him starting a conventional make shift back four, would fans be against Pep trying something a bit unusual to cover our holes?

This is lazy thinking. They are 15 pts clear in La Liga. The derby with Barça had no bearing on the table, they rested Benzema in that game.

It's like saying: City must be shit, 10 man Leeds beat them at the Etihad...

The mistake some people make when thinking about Real is to focus on their games vs Barça and Chelsea instead of considering their season as a whole, the fact they eliminated two of the best teams in Europe: PSG and Chelsea. To underestimate them is naive.

So you are telling me it's lazy thinking to say that this Real Madrid isn't that great, in comparison to where they are in the past? At the end of the day they have players who have achieved what we have never, multiple times, but they're not currently a great team. I would bet that a lot of Real Madrid fans would agree as much, tbh. I'll 100% stick with what i said, in recent memory they are the worst team out of the one's they have had, but they have experience and Carlo has got them working together. Having said that, if we don't beat them then we only have ourselves to blame, the same goes for PSG and Chelsea.
 
We have to put this to bed tonight for me so we can focus on the league. A tight game going back to their place will not be easy for us.

need to win 3/4 - 0 if we can.
I just think pep has to go for it

That’s conclusive proof for 12 years then. They could say palace and Southampton, shit happens. I am sure they are to be taken lightly, especially given they only have a 15 point lead in la liga
