    Almost feels like corruption that if i'm honest.

    I just don't see that penalty being disallowed if it had been a Real Madrid player.

    Dont be soo negative. We can win this.

    It's not negative to think that we won't go through against the record winners of the competition and current holders. It's entirely realistic.

    Look at the state of our squad and our struggles this season. I wouldn't trust us to KO Real Madrid. IF we did, it'd be a phenomenal achievement.

    I'm not saying it's impossible we go through, but it just isn't very likely. And we'd need a lot of circumstances to go in our favour to best them over two legs.

    Haha, listen, obviously, I expect the players to go into the game in a totally different mindset. But as a fan, I can't say I'm confident of getting past Real Madrid.

    For me personally, I don't want to get my hopes up just for them to be dashed. So I'm not going into this expecting to win, knowing that, if we do, it'll surpass my expectations.

    Genuinely though, Real Madrid were the last team I wanted to face due to their experience and heritage in this competition.

    One thing about the game last night.

    Zinchenko played really quite well as a No.10

    Well enough in fact it makes me wonder why we were playing Trossard as a 10 when Odegaard was out.
