:D The picture submitted is in line with some recent threads. For example, the arrows mean for example that:

- Rabiot is a box-to-box
- Verratti is a holding midfielder (central midfieler)
- Diarra is a destroyer
- Marcelo is a very offensive left-back
- Benzema is a kind of false 9
- ...

Cheers.

Some times, I have the feeling you have a kind of 4-4-2 with Cristiano-Benzema.

Dani Alves is 33 years so I expect Cristiano to spend more time as usual on the wing.

Whatever the tactical system, I can see a very aggressive Real Madrid in the first 30 minutes with a strong physical impact. For example, Benzema will harass Thiago Silva and Diarra. Kroos will try to destroy Verratti.

I refer more to a 442 to control the ball that includes Isco instead of Bale, and not the version where Bale is dedicated to cover gaps when defending.

Good luck to you too!

Madrid are definite favourites at home, I don't care much about their supposed lack of form, they will be ready. If we get a half-decent result away we can clinch the qualification at home, even if it means having to win by 2 or 3.

We should be favorites at home, but I do not know if so much anxiety helps in these cases. There are often many nerves, and more in this case, since their only motivation this season is this match (for you too, I guess).
Years ago I appreciated more playing the second game at home, nowadays I'm not so sure. Our defense is a disaster, so you should go for a goal.
 
Can't wait for this match. Have a sneaky feeling Madrid will win this tie.
 
I think Mbappe and Neymar will run riot on the counter, but it should be an excellent game.

Real have showed some signs of life recently.
 
These days, Cristiano prefers to be play as a second striker.

Just curious to see if he will focus on Dani Alves or prefer join the penalty area as much as possible.

Marcelo seems to be in a better shape than Dani Alves.

Interesting
 
I've said Diarra is likely to start but not impossible to see the following teams

Good luck mate, i hope your team can do it.

Also time for Verratti, Rabiot, Marquinhos etc to show they belong in the elite levels.

:lol: Don't think Carvajal is playing?

Yeah i wouldn't be surprised to see the refs do Madrid some favours.

Also how do you rate Kimpembe? Is eh good enough to take over from Silva in a few years?
Click to expand...

Carvajal suspended tomorrow but ok for the 2nd leg

Yeah, I think Kimpembe has the potential to replace him, certainly in 2019.
 
Last year it was around same time that PSG defeated Barca 4-0.
 
I think PSG will win and progress through to the next round, there's something about Madrid that i don't trust this season. They're too Jekyll and Hyde.

Cristiano Ronaldo tonight against Sociedad: 3 goals, great performance

Ronaldo looks rapid there. I don't get this whole he's slowing down shite.

He looks to play more ''lazy'' like Messi. Conserving his energy. So when it doesn't score, or has a bad game, of course he'll look awful/slow.

The man is clearly still a machine. I hope Madrid some how batter PSG. I'd fancy our chances vs Madrid in the latter stages than PSG.

Neymar to Real Madrid: Spain’s president Mariano Rajoy makes shock claim

SPAIN’s president Mariano Rajoy has waded into Real Madrid’s transfer saga over Neymar.

President Rajoy is a well-known fan of Real Madrid but has confirmed he is not keep to see Neymar move to the Spanish capital.

"I would not like to see Neymar dressed in white,” Rajoy told AS.

The 62-year-old was also asked about Real’s interest in PSG star Kylian Mbappe, who was linked with a move to the Bernabeu last summer before he headed to Paris.

Rajoy told AS: "I do not know if Madrid should have signed him, but when Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano (Ronaldo) go off form in a few months they are questioned."

Asked about his support of Real, Rajoy said: "I have been (a fan) since 1986.

“It has brought me many joys, such as the Champions League in 1998, and disappointments, like the one in Liverpool in the 1981 final.”

If he has only been a fan since 1986, why was he disappointed about a final in 1981? :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lo Celso instead of Diarra and Berchiche instead of Kurzawa
 
Ronaldo doing what he did last season by putting about 50% effort in the season till Cl knock-out stage and has been saving himself for the business end and now he's ready to take over again. Have a feeling he'll tear PSG a new one tonight

How is he playing (Lo Celso)? Seems to have played himself into the first team.

I remember when we got linked with him when he was at Rosario, looked a good playmaker with great vision and passing

No Draxler?

Light defensively in the context I'd say and not in a great shape. The debate is more between Lo Celso (#8) and Lassana Diarra (#6).

It would be very surprising to see him in the starting 11

He has been deployed as a central midfielder. On the rise since 3 months but his physical impact is still limited in this context.

Likely to be part of the World Cup with Argentina (2 caps recently).

 
Hard to decide which team I have less sympathy for. Any chance they can both go out?
