Pre-match views from the forum:

Riou: “Only times we haven’t lost in Munich, has been games where they have been leading from the first leg and have ultimately proved pointless in the end.

To be honest, don’t think the current team has it in them to change that…why I would have given up on this comp after we lost the advantage from the first leg and gone full pelt for the league, the 2-2 draw and then resting Jorginho for this might have cost us both trophies.

Hope I am wrong, but I am kinda done believing in this current group until they actually win something.”

Nunowoolmez: “Not looking forward to this game. Fear it could be crushing. Teta’s sides historically struggle to bounce back from successive disappointing results.

Let’s see, I’m hoping the boys can bounce back strongly, but I think our bubble has been burst.”

Beany: “I’m expecting a really, really tight game on the assumption we’ll treat this like City away – which probably means in reality it will be total ****ing chaos.

I just don’t want to see Zinny anywhere near the pitch, unless he’s collecting change for Ukraine.”
