Just a reminder, this United team is better than the Chelski side you are up against, think about that.
0% chance that you get knocked out tomorrow, you got the away goal and Chelski is beyond terrible.

This Chelsea side we're up against are the champions of England. Chelsea are a better team, but they weren't consistent enough this season.

Based on your logic Madrid are barely the 3rd best team in Spain.

They were beaten just weeks ago by this shower of shit called United. We have no excuses if we don't advance.

They are not playing like last year at all.

Factually speaking, United are a significantly better side than Chelski this season.
And yeah, we are the 3rd best team in Spain, as of now.

Who are you kidding? Madrid is top 3 teams in the world, not barely better than Valencia. We're not talking long run consistency here, we're talking peak level on form, and this Chelsea team can play much better than United.

Actually, they proved it vs Barca, while this United were bossed by Sevilla.

Chelsea are tougher match up than Man Utd irrespective of the league places.

They have a better balanced side and higher ceiling when turn it on.

At times they have almost downed tools in the league this season but not in the CL.

Yea, people act like they haven't completely dominated EPL just last season with the same team almost. They can be very hard to play against when full motivated.

Chelsea are also Barca's boogey team.

Bad matchups do exist. They have bus parking in their DNA as a football club whereas United don't, even with Mourinho at helm now. We'd have it a lot easier against United than against Chelsea even if United are ahead in the table.

Chelsea is definitely a stronger team than Man U. Nevertheless irrelevant tomorrow. We are strong enough to beat them.

Anyways, 0-0 away is not a good result, as shown here. United should have had more of an attacking mentality in both legs, instead of leaving it late.

0-0 is not a good result away for a team not used to play on the front foot. 0-0 is a good away result for Barca, Madrid, Bayern kind of teams who are used to dominate teams at home in sometimes gruesome fashion.

I can't remember the last time we've lost a tie at home after a 0-0 away in the first leg. Our tradition of beating teams at home is what makes me confident vs Chelsea tomorrow. I just hope Valverde won't try to be too clever.
