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

I really think that win at Everton and arsenal losing at home to Brighton has taken a huge amount of pressure off the team. 5 results have to go badly against us to not win the league (after 11 wins in the bounce) so now we can focus just on tonight.

If someone had said 15 years ago that we’d just battered Bayern in a CL quarter final, needed a win at home to Real Madrid to get through to a final against inter Milan I’d have said that someone had lost their mind

Because they’re not City fans, they are just football fans going to a big game because our club let neutrals sign up and immediately get tickets for it.

How are they getting tickets? You needed to qualify?

Fortunately/Unfortunately we were out of the race for Liga about 10 games ago. However this week we guaranteed 4th place so that's a relief. One more victory (out of 4 games left) and we guarantee 3rd place.


Not entirely true. To match Barca you have to have immense consistency over 38 games and La Liga is not that far behind PL in difficulty. This year Barca should finish with over 90 points.

Sorry but that is all bollocks , claiming your lot will be tired is crap

What’s the best pub for pre-match drink in NQ / Ancoats; normally go straight to ground but change of routine to help us beat Madrid!

Huge missed opportunity not making that rhyme…

Not worried one bit,
The sun is shining,
The sky is blue,
What a good day,
To beat Real 8-2.

Oh fuck off (a) you haven’t matched Barce and (b) last time I looked you were third in a 2 horse race

Edit just checked, now second, your team must be exhausted

La Liga isn't a patch on the premier league. How many teams have won the Spanish top flight since its formation? Compare that to England. Good luck. We've got a huge number of teams spending big money, beating each other every week. La Liga is basically who does better in El Clasico.

You'll be fully rested, you had the weekend off and it's not a factor at all. This is your season and you've prepared for it. We have had two must win games every week for about 4 months now.
