My first attempt at a match thread. I hope it's fine.
Btw, Mods feel free to add/remove anything you feel is necessary...............

this will be one hell of a contest................ther are so many things that will come out of this match,like:

1) marcelo's defending,when he will come up against pato(i hope marcelo comes up on top and puts a rest to the mouth of all his doubters)

2) have we progressed under mourinho(we have been beating the malaga's,deportivo's and all the other not so top teams for the last 5 or 6 seasons but not doing well consistently against the top teams like barcelona,milan etc)

3) can ozil produce his magic on the biggest stage

4) can higuain do something against the big teams in his life


i think all our doubts will be put to rest and we will produce a stellar performance and win it 3-0 with ozil or ronaldo being the man of the match....................hala madrid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

good? overall it was pathetic game..Real couldn't create serious chances because Milan defended well staying in their own half until that madness after Pirlo's goal..only good thing at that game were last 30 minutes because of goals and i doubt it will be the many goals this time because most of those 5 goals were scored because of really huge mistakes.

i hate playing these d!ckheads, i hate supporting any team against them because they will always come out on top...somehow.

Silva being injured is fantastic news, for us, hope he gets better though.

if we can continue our la liga form, there should be no reason why we cant win. but last season when we played them we butt-raped some poor la liga team on the weekend as well, so who knows.

I think this one is dead even, to be honest the difference might be experience....Im hoping for our team to show up and make me forget the pain of last year. Every big game we fvcked up royaly...except the Barcelona game at Camp Nou...

sooooo

2-1 Los Blancos!!!!!!!!!!

A bigger blow than one from a latin hooker.

Sergio Ramos se quedó fuera de la convocatoria para el partido de este martes contra el Milan en el Bernabéu. El sevillano se entrenó con el grupo de los suplentes y verá el partidazo contra los de Allegri desde la grada.

Si no hay sorpresas de última hora, Mourinho tiene claro que repetirá el once que goleó el sábado al Málaga, con Arbeloa repetiendo en el lateral derecho.

El Madrid jugará con:
Casillas,
Arbeloa, Pepe, Carvalho, Marcelo,
Xabi Alonso, Khedira,
Özil, Di María, Cristiano Ronaldo
Higuaín


Ramos would have caused havoc to their left back, huge disappointment

Same line-up like against Malaga. We should hope to win this one and then we are very close to finish on top of our group.

This is the first real test for this team.

but last season when we played them we butt-raped some poor la liga team on the weekend as well, so who knows.
Agree completely. Last season we couldn't win any big match. C'mon Mou!

...now we'll see what Marcelo can do. He's been great so far, but we'll see if we can count on him agaist teams like Barca, Chelsea, Manchester...

Il presidente if i were you i will make a bet before this crazy odds changes.
Im even tempt to make a bet but i will never bet against my team, but thats some crazy line there.

In the past against Italian sides we were always beaten becuase of better tactics and organization now I see this as even but now our individual talent may be the difference

I don't see us losing this for sure. Not at home, this season. I guess we'll play cautiously again like how we played against Aux but given the resurgency in the form of our strike force and quality of Milan defense we might just manage to scrape through.
I am sorry, but did you even watch the Auxerre match? there is one thing i hate about football fans, they know NOTHING about football. Cautious? did you see the Auzerre game? really???!!!! I saw the reactions to Mou's use of Khedira/Alonso/Lass! so because a coach chooses to play 3 strong midfielders to combat the physical nature of auxerre "people who didnt see the game, and who know nothing about football," claim Madrid played cautious?! WOW! please go and watch the game. Possession (all in Auxerre's half) 66%-34%...all through the game. Madrid literally played Auxerre half field all game! for me, Madrid's best performance this season!

Not a jinx, I a putting money on 3-1 for Madrid in this one. There will be goals and I dont think Bonera and Zambrotta will have what it takes against Di Maria and Higuain/Benzema. But we shall see.
