The years we've lost to them by just a bit are the years where we have won 6 league titles in 7-8 years. We are so far off it we needed a turn around for this first team squad to squeak past the 'Os' at weekend. Real are probably not fretting despite their injuries
Judging by the videos of Nico in training, no chance he'll be involved IMO.
He's wincing when doing some stretches, never mind when somebody comes and challenges him.
Shame.
We need the crowd behind the team badly. I do sense however a feeling of a certain degree of disinterest in this tie. It just doesn't seem like previous encounters with Madrid. Maybe it is because our form in the competition so far scarcely deserves our continued presence in it. The Ballon D'or incident is unlikely to excite either the team or most fans I would think.I hope the atmosphere tonight reflects how we all feel about the shocking lack of respect towards Rodri in snubbing his Ballon D'Or award. Totally entitled t#ats.
Maybe needs to man up
If you want a professional medical opinion. bluemoon is the place.Needs to man up the soft **** ! :-)
When we equalised against Arsenal I thought we’d go on and win. We had the upper hand and were troubling them far more than they’d troubled us.This will be another Arsenal.
We're not going to lose, we're going to get mullered.
City backed heavily at Betfair this morning! Can only be v positive news.
We're not favourites to progress anywhere I've looked? Its a lot closer than I thought it would be though to be fair.Yep, City are favourites to progress. Guess it's due to us having back players and Real having many injuries in defence.
Madrid just favs over the 2 legs-but its v close.Yep, City are favourites to progress. Guess it's due to us having back players and Real having many injuries in defence.
I think if we start with 13 then we may well have a chance.Think we need to go for it tonight, as I can't see us getting a result in the Bernabeu. Hope Guardiola picks an attacking line-up and throws caution to the wind. With home advantage we should be on the front foot from the off.
Ederson
Akanji
Dias
Stones
Gvardiol
Gonzalez
Kovacic/Bernardo
Savinho
Marmoush
Foden/De Bruyne
Haaland
We need to win this Keegan style I think and out score them. Need to be heading into return leg with as big a cushion as possible and tbf I’d rather us go out having really gone for it than lose having tried to nick the gameThink we need to go for it tonight, as I can't see us getting a result in the Bernabeu.

Exactly - just before the teams go out, give him some eggs - chopped-up in a cup.If you want a professional medical opinion. bluemoon is the place.
