A goal for us shouldn't change Madrid's approach. They have got to score at least once regardless, us scoring does not change that. The only difference is a goal for us means if they get their goal then it is on to extra time (which heavily favours the away side anyway.) 

Us scoring first pretty much means nothing. One of the best examples of this was when we played Le Arse in 2004. It was 1-1 in the first leg and then they scored first in the second leg. However, when they did it didn't change anything, we still had to score and we just kept to the game plan we were working with. The real changer in that tie was Bridge's goal, which was the second away goal, which mean they had to score 2.

The only way a first goal means anything to the tie tonight is if Real go 1 up, as at that point it gives us the lifeline of extra time. Best way of looking at it at the moment is that with it currently being 1-1 after the away leg, the score is really 1.5 v 1 for us. A goal for us makes it 2-1, so it really is negligible. 

I disagree.

The first goal changes the whole complexity of the game. Positively or negatively. 

Madrid can sit in and just maybe be tough to break through and try rely on individual quality in the final third. We start well and score first we completely change their whole approach. Then it creates opportunities for us to expose spaces that may not be there if its 0-0.

We tore them apart at 0-0 as we did at 1-0 and created chances en masse . Other then the dippers we did not struggle to create at all to unlock them. I am fairly confident we can do so again. In fact under TT apart from the fgamew be Spurs and wolves which were early on, we never failed to create at least 3 huge chances and a couple of almost huge chances were the penultimate ball was lagging. The problem remains the finishing. If we make a meal out of it again it can still be a tight rope this.  But if we one time have our shooting boots and this can easily be a thumping. 

We need to be clinical aye. I hope we dont just sit off them though. Its always tempting fate, a fast start is what we need.
