I'd very happy with that team if it was starting the CL Final - fingers crossed that it will be!

 

[Deepest Blue]

Good fuck um

So they're all going to the match instead, right?
Or maybe not.

Decent team - 4-2 to us

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I'll turn on 10 minutes before kick off.

That's too soon for me,as the teams come out & no audio for me.

 

[Gabriel]

Good starting eleven but in cricketing parlance we’ve got quite a long tail.

Looking forward to this one and expecting a stern test.

 

[blue aura]

5 for me

I'll stick with City Extra pre match. Ned, David James and the gorgeous Natalie Pike.

 

[Mattyc55]

Very moody outside the ground here - loads of Lisbon fans throwing bottles and the police are predictably being heavy handed with us.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Other then Stones at RB that's about what I expected.

Plenty in that side to beat Sporting assuming they play to potential. Kind of a derby for the ex Benfica quartet, hopefully that sparks a little fire underneath them.

Not sure yet who plays on right, could be cancelo with hybrid back 3 .

Really excited to see back three

 

[01cravend]

6 youth players on the bench..love to see the academy has started to churn out quality players/ones with high potential

I think sporting's best chance is to come out flying, hope for a lead after half an hour and then try to contain in the second half. They might nick a draw tonight, I dunno, but they're going to spend 135+ mins on the back foot this next two games
