Real Madrid 2-0 Chelsea

[Magic Lamps 11,462]

That’s the bus. Exactly the team and formation I would have picked as well 

[Pizy 17,861]

Each one of the Real Madrid defenders has a silly error in them if we actually try to get at them. And as sensational as Modrić & Kroos are in possession they can be exploited off the ball as we’ve proven for two consecutive seasons. 

This is one of those matches where we need our midfielders to be extremely sharp on the ball. Every once in a while Kova will have an uncharacteristic sloppy game on the ball and we cannot afford that here.

Deeply concerned about bookings for second leg, Reece and Enzo.

[Fulham Broadway 16,423]

Kepa, Enzo Fernández, Thiago, Reece James and Koulibaly need to behave,  all one booking away from missing the second leg along with Mudryk and Gallagher

I hope Koulibaly gets booked in that case...🙂 ...  not sent off though. although he is always in the verge of getting sent off, bloody donkey.   🙂

We need him. Badiashill is not registered for UCL.

Perhaps it is gametime optimism, but I really like Enzo, Kovacic, and Kante against their midfield. If we can control the midfield with Sliva KK and Fofana being solid, we might have a chance.

Having Havertz and Mount as subs could be a good move, more impact than starting from the off

we are winning this 4-2. sterling two goals, rudinger own goal and enzo.

[Fulham Broadway 16,423]

Their last line of defence Courtois is going to be hard to beat especially with our misfirers - Thiago from a set piece ?

[ZAPHOD2319 3,897]

Lets Go!!! Biggest stage in the world...COYB!

[Vesper 27,379]

other than the up and down Asensio, Real has fuckall in temr sof firepower on the bench, the never was anything Much Mariano, and then Hazard is the only other attacking player and he is rinsed

You can tell he's new to the whole thing... man. 🤦‍♂️

Kai dropped! which makes sense as for me only one between him and Felix should play.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,761]

Gotta score

[Blues11 213]

Real when they saw Felix starting probably became even more confident.

Guy just can’t finish well enough to be elite. 

[ZAPHOD2319 3,897]

Fofana starts the yellow cards

yeah I'd have gone the other way with Kai first, then felix against tired legs, but I see Felix as a more conservative/defensive approach. His quick feet to help control possession.
