Only a formality for Chelsea tomorrow night. Have they any chance against City in final.  IMHO Manchester City should win handy enough. This City is greatest English team of all time and after than Liverpool team of last couple years. Pep Guardiola greatest manager of all time.

They beat them in the FA Cup about 2 weeks ago, so if they get to the final why not

Any team has a chance in a one off game/final.

chelsea have come on under Tuchel but they still haven't put a poor enough Real Madrid away yet.

In 13 years senior management Pep:
Took a Barca team with Xavi, Messi, Iniesta etc to 2 x CL wins
Took a dominant Bayern team to ...0 CL wins
Took a dominant City team to.....1 final (0 wins..yet)

In 5 years senior management (4 if you count a year out of the game) Zidane:
Took an average Real to 3 x CL wins

and I wouldn't claim ZZ is anywhere near the greatest manager of all time.

and for all those claiming it's a certainty Chelsea get to the final....it's 1-1...not 4-0 or 5-0

Good chance of getting there...yeh, sure
Formality...no

I wouldn't say it's an average RM team but I take your point.

Guardiola did a great job with Barca who are one of the big two in Spain and had a golden generation but he's spent an absolute fortune at both City and Bayern without really pulling up any trees.

Hope Madrid win it.

Modric, Ronaldo (the Christiano version), Benzema, Ramos, Varane in any team doesn't make them average.

They were inconsistent but couldn't be called average.

Average by the standards of Real Madrid I would say, and certainly no better squad than most good teams have/had over the last few years in the CL

ZZ has them playing more than the sum of thier parts.

Madrid are missing Varane tonight though.

Varane has been pretty average all season (and was atrocious in last years CL).

Seems to be lost without Ramos to lead.

Nacho and Militao have been very good, the only worry is if ZZ tries to shoehorn Marcelo into the side again.

Up front there is Benzema and......not much else.
- Hazard.....less said the better about his time at Real
- Vini Jr, 1 good game every 10
- Rodrygo..anonymous, if he gets on at all
- Isco...bit part these days
- Asencio..talented but inconsistent
- Diaz...not at level required
- Vasquez...being played at RB
-Duro....not at leavel required (currently anyway)


GetOverTheBar

Think Zidane will go with Marcelo, Mendy has been out for a few weeks with an injury - Ramos too. Would be a bit of a gamble throwing in both in their backline after a layoff for each? I assume Ramos will be starting no matter what considering Varane is out.
