Anyone confident if it goes to pens

It won’t. 3-1 City on the night. Their goal coming on the 75th minute mark just to exercise the old sphincter muscle.

How can it go to pens when the final score is City 3 - 0 Real

 

[stonerblue]

I have a feeling he is going to be Red Face Kev™ tonight.

Known as 'The Hulk in our house. Damg3pis when amgry

Militao is a better player than Rudiger.

agree- lots of madrid fans not happy with his performances this season though?

 

[citizen_maine]

Imanage if we smash them. Tomorrow will be "Man City destroying football".

Hopefully. I like it when that happens.

 

[aguero93:20]

Is there a game on tonight?

Middlesborough v Coventry, playoff semi final 2nd leg. Winner plays Luton in the final. Whoever goes through will hopefully fuck off straight back down.

History coefficient.

Getting the pre-match nerves now… come on you Blues!

I might be wrong, but I don't think Real have the squad to get to penalties

We've got a few decent options on the bench, but I'll be amazed if both Kroos and Modric even last 90 minutes, let alone 120.

Once you get to their bench, the quality certainly drops.

Militao is a better player than Rudiger.

In some things he is better, but there is also things were he is not better.

Why no rudiger. I am surprised . He dealt with haaland well

Pfft. Airdrieonians vs the Accies is what all the hip young bros and hos will be tuned into.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Feel quite confident.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

surprised no rudiger thought he was critical for them last week

Have teams been announced?

Trying not to tune in unless I need to. Going to lay low and tune in just before it starts otherwise may need to sit on the toilet for the ext 2 hours!

 

[madloaf]

2 hours to go:

 

[Totnes Blue]

Perchance to dream, aye - there's the rub

Or to take up arms against Real Madrid and by opposing,end them.

 

[paulchapo]

Probably a stronger ref so they're worried he'll get sent off.

Madrid have released their team

hmmm. Someone said on Twitter Militao plays good long balls to vinicius jr and Ancelotti preffers him unless he is injured or suspended.

 

[skillman]

Militao is a better player than Rudiger.

Glad Rudiger isn't on personally. His pace and strength (and overall aggression) is something I'd rather not come up against. We pulled Militao's pants down at our place last season, he didn't know what day it was most of the game, so more of that again please blues!
