A potentially very exciting Champions League semifinal beckons tonight against the greatest team in the history of the competition. A team that incredibly we've never faced before in this comp, making it an extra special CL semi from our perspective at least.
Real will surely be favourites, especially given their outstanding CL record and team of highly experienced Galacticos who've seen and done it all in the game. By comparison we're a younger team with the likes of Werner, Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech all still trying to find their feet this season.
So do we have a decent chance of getting past this battle hardened Real side? We'll need at least one or two of the aforementioned to turn up for us in the tie.
Who do we start tonight ? Presumably Mount and Werner are certs. Meaning both Pulisic and Ziyech would start on the bench. Is Havertz the right man for the No 9 role or should we go with Giroud for this one off game given his goal record in Europe and all-round experience in big games ?
Lots of big calls, here's hoping for a cracking game in both legs.

Really good half, TT does it yet again in big game.
Very disappointing to see that Benz goal go in but I guess we just have to take that. We barely conceded any chances to them but such is the quality and experience of Madrid they took it and we should expect that. It is arguably more disappointing we couldn’t be 2 goals up. Still getting the away goal lessens the pain !
TT Pulisic good goal taken Kante energetic (final third passing meh tho) Rudiger’s passing been back to his best under TT, great ball for the goal

This. Marcelo won't start again. Shoulda scored 3 in the first 20 minutes. Doubt we'll get so open in the 2nd leg.

Marcelo wasnt the problem for them their defence just couldnt handle the pace of our front three, unfortunately the rain made the pitch really heavy and our west ham game played a part.
