Conversely, we could end the weekend out of the CL and back in a title race to the last day…

My kind of gal.
 
Arsenal bottling it yesterday has done the whole club a massive favour. They have cut our number of must win big games in half. I reckon everyone who might have been feeling a bit knackered at the end of the Everton match will have a little extra spring in their step now.
 
Debate between Mahrez and Foden for me - Riyad has that extra something in these type of games and think Foden's energy from the bench (regardless of whether we're winning or losing) will be beneficial.

It'd mean dropping Bernie, though, which I can't see happening in a game of this magnitude.

I'd go for:

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Stones
Akanji(/Ake)

Gundo
Rodri
Kev

Mahrez
Haaland
Grealish
Just not sure Mahrez starts over Bernardo or Phil
 
The stadium needs to be amped up to eleven on Wednesday, every touch them fuckers have should be met with deafening whistles and boos. I really hope we blow them away, let their superannuated players feel their age. Let’s fucking do it !
I'm telling BT tomorrow to make sure the mic's are switched on around the pitch and high as well, the cnuts
 
Another chance to shove it up the football establishment , self rightheous f8ckers like Real are well overdue a good going over from us , we were criticised for being negative in the first leg which with hindsight was obviously the right thing to do. Get them back to the Etihad and then we turn up the heat play a slightly more attacking formation , would select Mahrez over Bernardo only because he has a good record in big Champs league games and scores big goals
We can bring Bernardo on for the latter stages for his energy to see the game out ,let Pep finally lay the ghost of "overthinking " and win this glamour cup.

As much I want mahrez to start but think it won’t happen. More likely it‘ll be Bernie instead, fresh legs and all that jazz.
 
Pressure and tension will be sky high.
One thing Real pissed all over the competition is them handling the pressure moments incredibly well. like that run of PSG, Chelsea, City KO rounds they were worse at certain periods even losing the ties and still managed to ride out any bad period and overcome and make it count in their good periods during games.

This is where we need to step up and handle the periods where we are on top to make it count and when they are on top we need to keep it tight.

Raise our game, handle the pressure cooker situations well and also Etihad need to be the 12th player rather than anxious.

Can be done, will be hard, but can be done.

We need to use home advantage in this one.

even if we are 2-1 down in 80th minute we need to try to win it.

having said that if it goes to pens I dont know how I will not throw up...
