Real Madrid (H) - Wed 17th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Blue Eh]

Strangely relaxed about this game. Pep’s put out a strong attacking lineup. Most of RM’s build up happens from their left, so it figures that Walker and Akanji would play.

I’m expecting we will see a pressing masterclass from Bernardo.

If we stay calm through a few tricky periods we will win this. What a time to be a blue!

Ridiculous amount of tourists tonight, is it the club doing it or are fans reselling their tickets?

yes I think Akanji would have played even if Stones was fit. He's too good right now to drop. Maybe Dias would have been the odd man out

Dias is the leader at the back, he's not been as good as the others, but he clearly brings more than his performance

My guess is Stones will come on around 60 minutes unless we're 3 or 4 up

Worried about Walker honestly. Hasn’t been his best season imo

If enough people say it then it's true. I don't see the problem. Just hoping he hasn't been rushed back, the management team clearly see this as an important game for him to be included. I just hope he doesn't get injured half way through and screw our plans up.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Real's front line can be electric but the rest of that team is very, very average.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’m chilled we got this!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Expected less 50/50 scarfs and tourists given the sales policy but its full of them, how the fuck have these people met the criteria clearly never been here before

The fact you’re surprised surprises me, lol.

 

[Blu1]

Attacking team from pep hope we are not outnumbered in midfield but I guess going off this season our best defence is to attack

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

It's interesting that TNT has Foden next to KDB in the middle and Bernie out wide. Obviously, that could mean nothing at the same time.

Yes outnumbered by them outside earlier. I guess all the Blues are in the pubs still.
