The team had the final training session at the Ciudad Real Madrid before flying to England to face Manchester City tomorrow (20:45, C + Liga de Campeones) in the fifth match of the Champions League group stage. José Mourinho directed the third session in preparation for this match, where he worked with twenty first-team players, as well as the Real Madrid Castilla player Denis Cheryshev.

The Whites will be looking for a win in the Etihad stadium, which will send them into the last sixteen of the Champions League. In order to achieve this José Mourinho directed the third session in preparation for the match, in which he had twenty first-team players, as well as the Real Madrid Castilla left-sided midfielder Denis Cheryshev.

The session, which took place at the Ciudad Real Madrid in a thick fog, started with a single working group. The 21 players started the training session with an intensive warm up, which they combined with various stretching exercises. They then proceeded to carry out physical exercises under the watchful gaze of the Madrid technical staff.

You really hope we use an inexperienced youth teamer in a CL game against the champions of England? There are 20 players called up. Denis and Jesus will be in the stands thankfully.

 

Mou might go with a 433 in this one with Xabi Khedira and Modric in the middle.

I wonder who he'll drop from Ozil and Di Maria. Probably Ozil.

 

I'll be there, hopefully we have a great game

HALA MADRID

 

Read Madrid have won 9 European Cups. Man City have won just 3 Champions League games in their history.

 

If anyone cares:
Mesut Ozil has been dropped in favour of Luka Modric.

Real Madrid:

Casillas;
Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao;
Khedira, Xabi Alonso;
Di Maria, Modric, Ronaldo;
Benzema


3-5-2? (1 English player)
Manchester City: Hart; Kompany, Nastasic, Zabaleta; Maicon, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Kolarov; Dzeko, Aguero

 

i have some good news for you people... we are winning this game, i saw it in a dream last night.

 

Thank goodness, we can all rest easy now.

 

Bang, Benzema!!

 

Your dream is coming true so far Alter although there is a lot of time left in this game.

Benzemaaaaaaaaaa!

 

We should be home and dry already, missed chances. That CR chance, just fckin pass

 

why didnt CR pass that !!! could have been 0-2 EASY. comeon CR, being Selfish has a limit.

 

His ego has no limit

 

FCK ME

SAMI K ANOTHER CHANCE, JUST FCKIN HIT IT

 

I really like how organized we are. Really solid everywhere.

And Benzema.. Man. Love him.

 

We're looking hungry and dangerous. City can only improve in the 2nd half.

 

Yes. Man City are just keeping the ball on their half, most of the time.

 

Half-Time. Efficient and no-nonsense team-work from our side. I wish we converted our opportunities into goals, hopefully we will do so in the 2nd.

 

Reminiscent of Milan group game away at San Siro, missing chances.
Controlled, but they will come out far better

 

Mancini is so clueless, starts with 3-5-2, but changes to the regular 4-3-1-2 20 mins into it, not first time he done this.

 

The boys are playing pretty well but holy hell we need to finish our chances. Man City look totally clueless out there and we need to take advantage of that.

Khedira finishing :howler:

 

we have created some good chances in the first half but i wish this team would want to pass the ball more, City have already began to gain confidence because of the time they are having on the ball.

 

It has been a mess, lack of organization thus far.

 

Letting them grow so far.
Di Maria has no brain to release it to Benz and CR never passes it to Benz

 

Ikerroud:

 

Weird sub, Vanilla Ice on for Modric
