I don't like the implication that they are some special team just because they are "Real Madrid".
Yea, they got past some big teams, but they have also been helped along the way by some questionable refereeing and blunders by those same "great" teams.
We should have nothing to fear from them, in fact, if we lose this, it's an upset in my mind.
They're going for 3 champions league titles in a row. Of course this is a special team. If they manage it one of the best you will ever see.
A team that boasts Bale, Ronaldo, Isco, Modric, Kroos, Ramos, Casemiro, Marcelo. A bench that will probably seat Benzema, Assensio, Vazquez, Kovatic.
We have one bite at the apple with our starting lineup, Madrid have quality to bring on to punish a tiring side like ours while we send on Ings and Solanke.
This will be a huge test and we have achieved nothing yet to say we will have been 'upset' should we lose to them.
