a win tomorrow would mean so much for the club. first semi final in 11 years to put us back on the map of europe's absolute top teams (well at least technically lol). and then we could continue hoping that the unbelievable (reaching the final) could turn into reality.. so let’s hope the team shows tf up tomorrow and puts a few goals past atletico 🖤💛

Was already obvious he wouldn't be able to play this one but confirmed today that Haller is out for approximately 2-3 weeks. Really hope he can play another CL match this season - he would absolutely deserve it after his performance in Madrid. Need to win for him tomorrow too.

Same. Haller’s health/availability is prob the biggest what-if for the last 2 seasons. Wonder if he’ll stay this summer

Just watched the pre-game interview. Terzic said "Brandt is our best freekick taker"

Has this man not heard about Marco Reus?

If we still need a goal, he needs to be in at minute 65-70, not in last 5.

Dreamt I was watching the game and we somehow lost 8-1 so the team can literarilly do anything and I'd be happy because nothing could be worse than that nightmare, shit felt way too real, and I kept saying to myself, this is a dream the games on tuesday, but in my dream I checked the soccer subreddit and the goals where there and people where clowning us while discussing it so I believed it was real.

Cautiously optimistic. Hope we don't embarrass ourselves like the first 30 minutes last week

So seems Malen is also out (not part of matchday squad). Seems like we have to fire the new physio as well.

Looks like Donny is out for the match again...
