None of them played in the first leg did they?
That’s some good players out for them. I fancy you maybe to overturn it, you tend to be very lucky in these situations.
lucas vasquez did
odriozola is a recognised RB
he'll probably be playing there on wednesday
zidane doesnt trust him much...that's why he's only getting his chance now that carvajal and lucas vasquez are both out
courtois
odriozola nacho militao mendy
casemiro
modric kroos
asensio benzema vinicius jr
may be this starting XI
Geoff...basically you are right but the point I was trying to make (although badly) is that Madrid cannot rotate and keep players fresh.
Likely to be the same players who played Vs Barca I would think back on the pitch bs us...could tell the last 30 minutes. Ideal time for say Jota of the bench with AOC as well for instance..
Is Vasquez filling in at right back for Carvajal? How can they both be starters?

You didn't exactly have an easy game against Villa.Real did Barca and will be on a high especially since Atletico only drew.
Bit of straw clutching going on.Yu certainly aren't out of it,but can't see you keeping a clean sheet and that means you may need to score 4 or more which is unlikely.

So no excuses for both then.
Its obvious but the 1st goal sets the whole game....just hope we get it. Could be a very difficult game for Madrid if we do. Hopefully we wont make the same stupid mistakes we did Vs Atletico last year.

Vazquez played well first leg and even Mane could not keep up with him. Madrid despite loads of injuries are like the form team of Europe.
Then let's rip up the form book
Modric was amazing in the classico, none of the barca players could get near him.
Real players did looked absolutely gassed in the last 20 minutes though.
So Madrid beat us with half a team last week?

I must have watched a different game where Barca dominated the ball but couldn't cope with Madrid's counters. If I remember right they scored with their only two shots on target.
Both teams have injury issues, but I'd certainly fancy facing this Madrid side though despite their form.
Before even looking at their defence, their attacking line up needs to be dealt with better in this game.
Madrid look like they are coming strong just when it matters. I think we may win the game but they will ultimately score and knock us out.
It’s all down to both attitude and confidence to do the job. On their day, the Reds can take any team apart. It doesn’t matter to me who is in, who is out, who is injured, who is pregnant, etc., with the right attitude and devotion, we can have a repeat of the Barca game.
The boys can do it, they’ve done it before while major players have been out, injured.
I expect Real to turn up on the night and really go for it from the off. They will have seen how, in the recent past, when we go behind, heads drop. It’s down to Jurgen and the staff to instill in the team to fight to win, to fight to the death irrespective of how Real perform.
It’s there for the taking.
They do though have Kroos and Modric who outclassed Liverpool last week.
Three workhorses in there, back to Liverpool of last season. No Keita to stink the place out or Thiago sauntering about and you might have a chance.
Madrid are in a very good place right now, confidence through the roof. Being honest they wiped the floor with us last week.
1 thing in our favour is we surely cannot play as bad as we did last week again. We need a big big performance from our front men. I dont see us keeping a clean sheet so it will be up to the front guys to try and win it for us.
Tall order personally, I reckon 2-2 on the night.
