What tactics are people expecting from Real? Sit back and counter or going toe to toe? Hope it's the second but then we are also great at breaking down parked buses.......

Think real will start defensive,ancelotti doesnt want to take big risks and kill Liverpool in the right moment, something like EV did.

What a surprise that the Barca hater tries to convince us that beating a:

Juve 14/15, Italian Champions, one game from treble (only team to beat RM in a CL KO tie in 5 years between 2014 and 2018)
Pep's Bayern
PSG (one of the stronger PSG sides of the last 10 years after 17/18 and 16/17)
City (league champions)

is "not a particularly tough one".

Shameless.

Wrong as usual. City in 14/15 weren't a difficult team and Pep's Bayern then was very strong but not elite due to the injuries they had and slightly weaker squad that season.

Barca 14/15 really has no place among most difficult CL paths. It wasn't an easy one like Madrid 15/16 or Liverpool this season but not much tougher than average.

Madrid 16-17 had a similar level of opposition.

You're welcome
This is a reach. Any fan would want what he's saying tbh.

That wasn’t the point. Of course any fan would want opposing team to lose a good player. But no need to speak of bad luck every time player gets taken off pitch as preventative measure and does not turn out to be a serious injury.

Yeah right.

Madrid's 15/16 season was EL level lol. Except Atletico in final but even this Atletico wasnt as strong as in 2014.

Obviously let Madrid score first. They have some black voodoo if they trail behind the majority of the game. You don't want a Madrid comeback. Ancelotti will resort to haram ball if Real score first.

Yeah, that's probably my prediction as well

I am just not sold on Liverpool vs serious opponents this season. Bascallly drew vs Chlsea 4 times, and vs City 2 times, most of the time looking like 2nd best team out there.

Looked impressive vs City's 2nd string team in FA Cup, and even then for one half only.

Liverpool vs top 4 in the league:

2 draws vs City
2 draws vs Chelsea
2 draws vs Tottenham.

Even tottenham managed more points vs top 4.
