After seeing the disgraceful behaviour of the PSG players - I feel I have misjudged TT.

What a bunch of petulant wankers.

I bet they didn't listen to anything he said.

Well done to City. Total professionalism.

I expect the same antics from Real Madrid tomorrow night. I just pray we get a decent performance from the Ref.

UEFA should fine PSG - some awful challenges at the end and brought the game into disrepute.

I didnt see the game, but the players throwing their toys out the pram, sounds like the Spurs  team the night of the so called battle of the bridge. Coincidence both teans were managed by Potch?

Yup agree- he seems to encourage petulant prima donnas. 

Let's make it an all English final in UCL and Europa League. I clearly hate all of the other teams, but will support them getting to the final as it's more beneficial for our League. It shows the quality is improving and those 1 team leagues are slipping behind (except Spain)

Hope we get off to another fast assured start like the first leg. If we start like vs Fulham, it will be a long night because regardless of what Madrid line up they put out, you know they are looking to score as this swings the tie for them. We need to keep a clean sheet at all costs but also score to make absolutely certain. City just played a perfect game tonight I would say, we need to do the same.

1 goal for us hardly means anything, all it does is prevent a loss at 90 minutes if Real score 1. Away goals only really start counting when you get two plus. It is why I was so disappointed last week.

Still first goal for us will make Madrid play much more offensive as they will need 2 goals, meaning spaces for us to exploit though. As long as we can get the first goal, keep it tight at the back and play in those spaces they will undoubtedly leave to try chase the game I think we will be sound. Whilst they need a goal they wont be as easy to play against like last week so we need to get them committing players up the pitch. Or just control them from minute 1 which may not be as easy as they will definitely play much better.

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.

Goodluck to the lads, i hope they give it their all and can qualify for the final, whatever happens, happens, the fact that we already won this cup after many dissapointments in the past it makes me have less expectations than before. I’m very proud of this team and what they achieved so far. Cheers and KTBFFH

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 wonder what kind of lousy mindgame is it with Hazard. Let's face it, he was invisible in last match and I hardly think his presence unsettles anyone here

I feel the same. I am just wondering how we are going to get fecked. Will it be a VAR/Ref special or will one of our own do something ridiculous?

[Blues Forever 1,232]

I'm more worried about Benzema than Hazard.

I struggle to be optimistic at the best of times. It helps with the disappointment lol but I can't lie there's a reluctant confidence that we will at least compete.

Agreed... his CL record, esp of late, is indeed worrying.

Eden has the advantage of knowing the pitch (and facilities) inside and out, but has the disadvantage of facing defenders who know his style and are used to his movement. It's hard to predict, but the latter usually wins.

This is a great game to play! It's no disaster to lose to RM, so you can play full of confidence and with a swagger - leave everything on the pitch. Our intensity has been great since Tuchel took over and we need to be more intense than Real today.

We should not play for a clean sheet, we need to play to win the game.
