They are still leaders of la liga and we are even further away of the team we were the last few seasons . Has to be citys 2 best games of the season to stand a chance against them. Hopefully those idiotic mistakes at the back are gone for those important knock out games and league games ahead.

This sadly to say is very much a competition Madrid have come to own. They have an ability to do just enough to win. I expect this to be a relatively tight game which could end in a draw. The away leg will probably be a narrow victory for them. Football miracles do sometime happen but we need a massive one if we are to repeat the big win from 2 seasons ago. I will be happy if we claim a moral victory of some sort and avoid the kind of humiliation suffered in North London last Sunday.
 
Think it’s daily obvious what pep will do. His team selection against orient gave us many clues. Only question is savinho or marmoush imo.

Ederson (if fit)

Akanji
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol

Kovacic
Bernardo
Kdb

Foden
Haaland
Savinho

Looking at that team we may have a chance of getting a result. Hope we don’t see Nunes, Gundo or any of the kids.
 
Given his performance while defending, Phil shouldn’t start this match. We need 10 run and gun players on the pitch.

I think I am one of Bernardo's biggest fans, but without him now I think we play more direct.

It will be long balls to Doku & Savio to create something for Haaland.

With Bernardo it will be too much passing which will give Madrid time to organize.


I hope Pep does it, Sit back and defend and hit them on the counter.


If Pep keeps his same old plan, it will be embarrassing result.

I'm the opposite for this game.
I've been quite critical of bernardo this year (which is a shame because I love him) but think he is vital on Tuesday if we are to have any chance.
His running and ability to keep possession are needed so we don't get over run in the middle.
 
Your team honestly has a chance to exploit , vasquez plays RB since he is a right win converted into RB thats usualy attack oriented and tends to forget where he is, and when to close when to get back....

tchuameni is a Mid converted to CB becouse we dont have currently none beside asencio thats from castila, so our defence is far from perfect

Im not sure about your mid how its gonna cope with ours

Me as a madrid fan are hoping pep decides to push up, that would do wonders for us, becouse iv seen you are really vulnerable in transitions and conters, but at the same time, madrid defence if its not on point it could turn into a tennis score at the end for both teams

To the mods of the forum, can you please lift the "awaiting moderation" on every post i make, so i dont need to wait 30m+ to be approved. I am posting here normaly as you can see from my posts, not trying to provoke or anything, but talk honestly and openly .

The same Real Madrid who with all those galacticos only finished in the play-offs of the UCL, got beat off Espanyol who are 17th in La Liga & needed a 93rd minute penalty to beat 16th place Leganes.

Although it won't be easy, they aren't the same team that we've lost cruelly too over the last couple of seasons & hopefully the luck that has alluded us over those seasons will go our way.

The same City who four-peated and did the treble then threw away a 3 nil lead againts Feyenoord and just about managed to scrap into the play offs and are currently battling for a top five place with N'Forest and Aston Villa.

Yes! Im talking about that 'same real madrid'

What City are you talking about???
 
We can beat Madrid without playing like Stoke.

We will use long balls if they try to high press us. Given their injury problems, they won't be too open at the Etihad. They'll try to press us at their ground if they need to score goals. Then Ederson will pass to Haaland hoping to see a goal or two.

Nunes has become the new goto boo boy because he made a poor pass in the derby that is almost identical to Aké at Anfield last season & almost every defender under Pep has made that mistake at some point. Akanji looks mentally & physically fatigued & although he has the ability to one game look world class & another to look absolutely awful,

I'm not sure there's much difference & Nunes probably offers more in attack, especially if Phil or Berny play on the right

I thought it was his fault we went 1-0 down yesterday :-)
