Can I open the London vs Paris match thread now?

awooga83 have a great trip.. the Barca fan behind the bar in our hotel reckons we'll be alright tomorrow. But then he would say that. 🤣

awooga83

RocktheCasbah haha oh to have the confidence of the non invested fan 😂

Haven't been this nervous about a game in many years. Good stuff.

Mirth

tazmania this is a terrible way to approach the game - let Madrid be the emotional ones. A CL leg away from home is tough regardless of who we play - Dortmund put 3 past Barcelona tonight and Aston Villa did the same with PSG - so the order of the day is game management. Get to HT 0-0 with a frustrated Madrid team and the Berbenau will turn on them

tazmania

Mirth I don't disagree with you. My point was that we shouldn't be afraid. We'll end up with stupid mistakes. We have 3 goals to lean on and can score 3 more by playing it smart

Qwiss Fair play, but I've got a City mate who's the same age as me who's been around since those days, and he's gotten bloody soft. Genuinely cranky like his world's upside down because daddy didn't buy him the league for Christmas.

Madrid 8/1 to qualify. Emotional hedge time

Gurgen

We should play the exact same way as last week. No need for tactical innovations.

RocktheCasbah

awooga83 he was right though, wasn't he? 😉

Rohit

Getting really nervous already. This will be a long wait, can't help but feel that we are going to get screwed in some way. UEFA would love a Real Barca CL final.

Phil

Raya
Timber White Saliba MLS
Odegaard Partey Rice
Saka Merino Martinelli

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Phil no chance of such a CB reshuffle.

Qwiss

Phil Kiwior for White and say thats spot on, assuming Partey is fit. I think he will be.

Panda

Come on we can do this! Hope the players go with the mindset of enjoying the challenge of playing Madrid at the Bernabeu. We can be sure they'll all be working incredibly hard to stop Madrid scoring too.

AAStyle

At least for the first half we should totally sleep the ball and make it a boring, stucked game in midfield. No stupid yellow cards neither.

This team can make it. Nonetheless I feel this could get ugly if they score in the first 15 mins of the match.

samthegooner

Need to avoid conceding early and/or getting a dumb yellow or red card. If we can get out of that first 10-15 minutes of chaos then I like our chances a lot.

Segway

samthegooner This is pretty much the only scenario I can see where it goes tits up. That or a refeering desgracia.

USArsenal

Yeah, i think it will be Kiwi since he started the last game against them and we got a clean sheet. And i think he gets a little better after playing a few times. Lets just hope he's ironed out some of those dodgy "Kiwior moments".

Pretty sure Partey will start.

samthegooner

I don't want to jinx it but Kiwior's worst games have been when he hasn't had a prolonged run of games ahead of it like @USArsenal said (aside from the Bayern debacle last year). I actually think Kiwior will have a good opportunity to spring some counter attacks with his excellent long passing today- hopefully he looks to be a bit ambitious to catch Madrid out if given the opportunity. A Kiwior set piece goal to put the tie away would be phenomenal.

swider

I am too a bit nervous but only because it is a very important game for us, I think we should be fine today and I expect a very good performance from most of the team.
