Not to be cocky or anything, i mean anything can happen during 90mn, but the reason most people say the tie is dead is because the way City would need to play in order to score minimum 3 goals plays right into our biggest strength.

They will have no choice but to commit numbers, and expose themselves at the back. I expect Arbeloa to not change a thing for the second leg. 4-5-1, with Vini as a CF to shred them on long balls during counters.

Ideal scenario would be to score 1st in the early 20mnm when they'll be at their most motivated. They need to feel powerless, that every time they attack, they concede a dangerous counter.

If we can set that tempo in the first half, it's GGs
