I worry about this match after the Brentford debacle.

Fear this tie will be revenge for RM for last season.

We have never lost a game to them in history (including two euro finals (Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Super Cup), plus a CL semi final were we went on to win the CL final)

I so hope we do not now

We are the only current major team in the world who can say we have played RM in multiple cups and never lost

it is the number one way to make RM plastics go insane

most instantly say it's a lie, then when they find out it is true, they explode in poutrage every time, they fucking snap

+ Tuchel has not lost to Real yet. 6 games against them, 0 defeats.

Benzema looks to be healthy again. Scored a brace this past weekend. I hope losing to Brentford has everyone on the team completely focused.

I would probably go for this. Wouldn't be surprised about Jorgi for Kante however.

Meunir ruined him. Add Hazard's lazy work ethic on top of it, no surprise he's finished.

We disposed of almost the exact same RM team with ease last year. Maybe the got a little bit stronger by ridding themselves of Ramos while we miss Chilwell. But the big difference is form. Still, on a given day we should be able to match up to the standard we set last year. They could not deal with our energy and athleticism last time round so maybe we can find some legs to run rings around them again. Not at all confident tho.
