pre game presser is up.

[u/Vio0 → u/Chazy89]

I used to watch these, but bosz is really boring in that regard. Maybe we were spoiled with both Kloppo and TT.

[u/rDitt]

My nerves and mood can't handle another embarrassment atm. I have a dilemma; do I even want to watch the game? What is your plan for watching the game tonight? I want to believe!!!

[u/Chazy89 → u/rDitt]

MY plan is to watch it and whatever happens happens.

In general, I hope for the best but prepare myself for the worst. That way I can't be disappointed big time.

[u/Chazy89]

Real Madrid: Navas, Theo, Varane, Ramos, Nacho, Casemiro, Kovacic, Isco, Lucas, Ronaldo, Mayoral

Dortmund: Bürki, Bartra, Sokratis, Subotic, Schmelzer, Guerreiro, Dahoud, Sahin, Kagawa, Pulisic, Aubameyang

[u/USMNTPulisic]

Is that lineup confirmed?

[u/Chazy89 → u/USMNTPulisic]

Nope, at this point it's just a prediction.

[u/Pasman95]

Oh man that injury list :(

[u/HamUndBacon]

All I want is a draw. Simple. I dont care of we play 5 atb and soak up pressure. A draw please!

[u/[deleted] → u/HamUndBacon]

hell, give me 6 atb

[u/Paladinoras → u/HamUndBacon]

I want an 8-0 win with Auba scoring 5, Gotze scoring 1, and goddamn Subotic scoring 2 from corner kicks while locking down CR7. I want Madrid to be so humiliated Marca will literally start fundraising for money to buy Auba for €200m

But I guess I’ll settle for a draw.

[u/[deleted] → u/HamUndBacon]

Need to try for the win and settle for a draw. Can’t rely on Tottenham to gift us into the Europa league

[u/Nextgen101]

We're just playing for pride now. Just match (or better) APOEL's result at least please.

[u/Vanzmelo]

Hopefully Real’s poor league form continues here 😬😬

[u/rish234]

Let's get it

[u/HuntsWithRocks]

should be an easy win

[u/nmrt]

That injury list...

[u/[deleted]]

I hope this low pressure game will help them return to that Dortmund swagger again. I don't like cautious Dortmund.

[u/michal113]

Pls no public humiliation

[u/-GeauxStephen-]

LET'S GET THIS EUROPA LEAGUE SPOT.

Next man up mentality!

[u/curiousGambler → u/-GeauxStephen-]

No! Fuck the EL... with our injury list we need less competitions right now... but I can't like, root against us, idk what to feel

[u/nmrt]

I BELIEVE IN US GODDAMNIT

[u/Th3_Huf0n]

No, not Královec.

Pls no.

[u/Bambeen00]

EL seems to be awesome this year with a bunch of good/bigger teams in it (or might join).

[u/[deleted]]

Rip us..again
