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

So do I, we played last Tuesday and we play Everton n Real within 8 days..

I see, you are correct.

I mean that we can play with enough intensity 3 days after Everton, given that the players had nearly 5 days to recover after Madrid.

Tiredness is definitely going to play a big part. They had an extra day off and rested most of their big ones. We had to play Rodri, Walker and Akanji 90 mins.

I'm not concerned about these 3. They are machines. Walker has had less appearances over the season, so he is not going to be mentally or physically weak.
Rodri and Akanji are young enough, and in good enough shape to cope.
The rest of the team should be top notch.
This is the team that would have taken them to the cleaners last year at our gaff. Let's see if this year they can finish the job.
It's going to be a great game no matter what.

Tiredness will not be a factor - the psychological effect of that Everton result put an extra 20% in our tank, and then Brentford boosted it by another 50%. One more push then we can relax and regroup.

edit - what a muppet - should have typed Brighton

Yeah, their win over west ham surely boosted morale in our camp

It does seem like the lineup will be the same as the first leg, but I think we need Mahrez or Foden on the field. It is difficult to leave Bernardo or Grealish on the bench but we need a real winger who play on the line and can beat Madrid full backs in 1 on 1 and use some pace.

This is it, the big one. One of the biggest games ever at the Etihad. Convinced we can blow these away early on. I was gutted walking out the Bernabeu last season, dreading that feeling again.
