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

2-1 city win on the night.

I think we’ll be cautious and controlled in H1 then unleash the fury in H2…..

Come on city !

I think the opposite. I think we’ll come flying out the blocks similar to the Arsenal game and if we can get an early goal we’ll punish them for another and control the 2nd half. I think the first 20 mins at the Etihad is a real opportunity for us to hit them hard before they settle into the game - we’d be silly to not try and capitalise on that.

It's a cup match, so let's not get giddy and lose focus on the Chelsea game.

this is the second year ive actually believed we were the best in europe as before i always thought the big boys had the x factor.now its our time

 

[rodridiculous]

Expecting us to roar out to an early 2-0 lead like the last time, but we'll have learned from our mistakes so it won't become a basketball game like the last time. Vinicius will score early in the 2nd half to throw a cat amongst the pigeons but Phil will seal it late.

Then I wake up, get dressed and go to work, unless...

I've just had a really bad thought. If we don't go through, Chelsea will for 90 minutes be singing champions of Europe, you'll never sing that.

Then they'll have to watch us lift a trophy.

Is it the same ref as last week?

I feel really relaxed about this. RM remind me of the dippers - they. are very dangerous up top. A cup side in every way. We will beat them 2 out of 3 ..
if it goes wrong then regroup and get it done on Saturday. Then take our anger out on the scum.

Steve as it spot on here biggest game for me since QPR

I dunno, i mean it’s still a magnificent season if we win the PL and CL but them being the team to stop us winning the treble would be fucking tough to take.
