No. The thought of them doing the double by beating us in the final is ridiculously nerve wracking!
Did you watch the game? They got battered for 70 minutes before Jose got cold feet and decided to win in the 2nd leg.texas pete said:I would not want to play them at any point along the way to be honest and hope someone else knocks them out.
There seems an inevitability that we will meet them though.
The fact is we have not played as well as last season by a long way and having watched them in Madrid you have to admire the way Bacon has the likes of Evans, Wellbeck and Jones all playing at 200%. They are mentally stronger by a mile and proof of this is them having what we would regard as inferior players to ours performing out of their skin.
Wellback and Evans were a fifth of a very average Sunderland side a few years ago. Last week they are running the show in the Bernbaeu!!

Before. It's on 11th May at 17:30.paul.manc said:Yes think we would all be sick with nerves but this would be the perfect way to achieve redemption for what has so far been a somewhat disappointing season
Quick question though- would the final be played before or after the final day of PL fixtures?
