Very happy Varane is starting. His pace will be of utmost importance to stop Morata. I was actually expecting this to be honest. What are you talking about?! We have an away goal and are playing a crucial game AT HOME. It can go either way. You're a pessimist, not a realist. A realist would be a Bayern fan who considered yesterday's game a bit of a formality. This one is wide open!
Only I've never celebrated with everyone else. You have to be delusional to think this team has a chance. There is no balance from the midfield up. You can thank Floro for that.
Absolutely not, Pepe > Everyone else. I assume that we will indeed go all guns blazing from the start and it's nice to have someone like Varane (who is capable of catching up and surpassing anyone from Juventus in a foot race) in case Juve break our offside trap at any point in the match.
I just got lunch from a Portuguese-owned Italian place. In hopes that this is replicated en Madrid. I am trembling. GET HYPED.
Hopefully when Morata returns he can bring with him some of that incredible work rate of Juve. If our BBC put in half the work that Tevez does, we'd be easy favorites for this game. Our toughest test in the CL so far for sure, but if we can't beat them, I'd prefer we stay out of the final rather than give Barça the satisfaction. I want a convincing win nothing at all.
Pepe was terrible over the weekend, cost us a goal and the league. He won't cost us the CL. Varane isn't a pup anymore. We should sell him if we still can't start him in matches like this. I trust his aerial defending more. Hala !#&*ing Madrid.
Carlo goes all in with FIFA15 line-up. I dont like it at all. Juve can really hurt "us", especially considering Pogba is back.
Time to kick some old day ass..... errrrrrr.... I mean.... uhh.... whatever,. JUST WIN BABAAAAAYYYYYYY.....
But then Ramos is more likely than Pepe to make the big mistake that gives up the crucial away goal... I would vote to let the better defender start (Pepe) and let the goal scorers score their goals. If it's 70 min in and still need a goal, then swap Pepe for Ramos. Of course this line of thinking is sacrilege here/Bernabeu but it's the logical one IMO.
