Didn't see that

Too many people underestimating city. If we have a bad night we will be out.

True, I notice i'm looking past City as well, they need 2+ goals and keep us at 1 max.
The only teams to have beaten us with 2+ goals in recent years are Bayern and Real. Pellegrini isnt the mastermind to pull it off nor does City have good form right now.
Most likely scenario is we beat them 2/3-1 style, score early and slow down in the second half.

However they could score an early 0-1 and things can go all Malaga on us, City certainly are capable of upsetting us so lets hope they players are focussed and dont have an eye on el classico.

Finally some sense here.
0:2 can happen easily, with a bit of luck on their side...it's football for heaven sake.

Squad (vs City): Rakitic, Xavi, Sergi Roberto, Iniesta, Rafinha, Pedro, Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Ter Stegen, Bravo, Alves, Pique, Bartra, Mathieu, Adriano, Alba, Mascherano.

Masip, Montoya and Douglas not included

That missed penalty...still haunts me, if things go wrong, it's just the kind of thing that proves to be a tie decider...

I know their form is not that great, but somehow missed chances turn around and bite you in the ass and we've let them off the hook so easily in the 1st leg, makes me so damn nervous.

We have the experience not to brake down if they score first, home turf, crowd support and MSN should give enough warranties for a qualification, but i don't expect a walk in the park.

 

[Barcaman]

You're overestimating City. While that's a very good batch od players, number of teams from Primera give us more headaches than EPL top teams.

Match day and I'm really excited!

Not nervous at all, but I'm getting really jittery and pumped every time I think about it. Doesn't help that I'm on my second cup of french press coffee in 30 minutes either.

 

[Barcaman]

That's why men drink beer on matchdays.

Nowt wrong having a beer WITH lunch

Not that I do it, maybe on a warmer day though... however I suppose if it's Estrella surely it's OK?

Ha that combined 11 is epic! Although I'd still take ter Stegen over Hart any day

 

[pacp_96]

Silva over Ivan. No thanks

 

[Bucky]

Dat mustache tho...
