UCL R16 2019/20 | Real Madrid Vs Manchester City

I'm honestly not afraid of them in the slightest. Can they beat us? Of course, but I also feel we have a good chance of winning if Zidane plays his cards right.

50-50

We play against Barca 3 days after this game. No problem. Zidane will make sure we get 6 points

85-15 City progress IMO

Pep can even pull his usual away game nonsense at the Bernabeu and, say, employ Rodri as right winger while benching both Sterling and De Bruyne and playing Fernandinho as left back and Jesus tasked with manmarking Ramos, and still get it done at home.

Zidane handing Pep a one way ticket to France

I would have put my money on Madrid, but with Courtois in goal anything is possible.

I'll say City win 2-1 in Madrid and a more comfortable 3-0 or 4-1 in the return leg

85-15% chance sounds about right.

City will be the first of our victims on our way to La decimocuarto

After the game:

Pep: It's difficult to compete with teams that have so much money to spend. I've said many times: who are the best teams in the last decade? Manchester City, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Soon after:

Confirmed Pep will take a sabbatical

Wouldn't it be La Decimocuarta?

Hol' up

If Zidane beats Pep, who's the fraud

You tell me

Regarding those 85-15% claims, keep in mind that Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich still need 3 Champions League trophies between them to equal football’s Flagship Club’s European trophy haul

I can understand this coming from you two though, because deep inside you know that the teams you support either are a bunch of pussies that crumble under the pressure of high intensity - high stake CL ties, or our bogey team in recent history

By the way, @Hans, was it the last time we played Pep in the CL when you got manita’d !?

even if you don't know Spanish, you can gather that the feminine article la will have to have a feminine word with a feminine ending follow

plastic fans SMDH

you don’t say

All right abuelito, calm down

It’s fourteenth! As I have been told many times, this is an english only speaking forum!

Only for you old man. Everyone else can speak multiple languages imo.

Zidane beating Pep with his Zdiamond and Crosselona philosophy will shut down the internet and I for one cannot wait for it, and even the most hardcore of Pep fans would have to admit that Pep is a fraud at that point. Without the greatest player in perhaps ever along with a GOAT Midfield like Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets the man was always going to struggle.

Madrid passing through. Nothing to see here.

Are the dates fixed yet???

No, but LFP never give us equal time rest. We always play the clasico with a day less rest. You can bet your house we'll be playing on the Saturday

There is no way they're going through with Conetois between the sticks, KDB alone will put like 4 past him over those 2 games.

Has KDB ever put anything past anyone over his 30 CL games ? Just asking

Uffff I cant wait for this. Madrid fans thinking they can win CL with Benzema and Rodrygo up front is top class banter.

Benz>>>Messi

He'll show up the little midget on Wednesday just you watch
