Varane out

I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad.

Good because him and Ramos are both quality and experienced, but also bad because now Real have an excuse to play more defensive and we struggle agaisnt low blocks. Interesting on tonight.

Liverpool by 2 clear goals.

likely to start with:
5-3-2 without ball
3-5-2 with ball
3 central defenders:

Courtois
Nacho, Militao, Mendy
Lucas Marcelo
Modric Casemiro Kroos
Vinicius Jr Benzema

He will be a United player next season, watch this space.

Madrid will try and not lose the tie tonight I think

Will sit deeper than you usually see from a Madrid side, and hit on the counter with Vini's pace

I think we'd have sat deep anyway. Don't think this alters the game plan much, just the resources available.

It's obviously advantage Liverpool, because they've been in this situation most of the season and have been able to try out multiple solutions, but it is what it is. We'll need to be more resolute than ever, but clubs like ours aren't built on tears.

I'm not so sure Vini will start. Asensio seems to at a level of confidence unseen since he did his ACL. I fancy Zidane going with him and Benzema up top, and I'm hoping for a good performance from him. I'd expect Vini to get on as a sub.

zidane has gone 4-3-3

surprised tbh
