Big game for Rodri.
Hope the rest as got him fresh and ready for it

 

[SWPISHOME]

That's some fucking team.

Let's smash these twats!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Pushing into midfield Akanji is not a good Akanji

I hope he doesn’t do that. I think Pep is the only person who can’t see Akanji shouldn’t be in the middle

 

[normskih]

We can only dream.

Stoner my love, if a Champions League quarter final win against Real Madrid doesn’t get your juices flowing, I don’t know what will;)

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Told anyone and everyone in the summer at work, if we win 1 trophy this season after winning the proper Treble last year I'd be made up.
I still stick to this, but I'm confident tonight we're going into the semi's of this one again

God wills it.

 

[sh249]

Shame that Stones is out. Makes a big difference.
But still a great team. If we’re at it, we win.

 

[cookster]

Good team, personally would have picked Ortega.
Pray we don't get an Ederson brainfart.

 

[super_city_si]

Goals in both teams. Should be another cracker. My bood pressure wont think so though

 

[alexmcity]

Mean Akanji stepping in which is a big down grade.

Don't think so.

 

[CC1]

Why do they release the line ups early ?

Has to be 1 & half hours before kick off in CL I think

 

[vanchi]

He looked like he was wading through treacle at times in the first leg sadly.

he was talking to the medical staff during foden’s goal celebrations, hopefully he’ll be ok soon.

 

[jimharri]

Shame that Stones is out. Makes a big difference.
But still a great team. If we’re at it, we win.

Yep; he's a big miss. Nevertheless, that's none too shabby a team.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Be interested to see whether Stones is on the bench, and could potentially play half an hour if needed

Good side though and I imagine a few players on the bench that can come on and make a difference

Madrid have fuck all on their bench, and their starting 11 aren't used to intense 90 minute games, hopefully thatll show in the 2nd half

It's not on the official app yet.

 

[super_city_si]

Don't think so.

mean stepping in to midfield. Hes a great defender but much weaker then stones in link up play

 

[urban genie]

Decent, only thing missing is Rabbit man sat shirtless with James Bond in hand on the front seats.

 

[CC1]

It's not on the official app yet.

I might be wrong. Just something I’ve think I’ve heard. But might be just leaked??

 

[SebastianBlue]

It's not on the official app yet.

Don’t think the team sheet gets posted for official wider consumption for CL games until 75 minutes before scheduled kickoff.

 

[RayCTID]

Other than Stones missing that is a strongest line up as it gets.
