Im guessing Vinicius will move to the right because Mbappe does his best work on the leftish side, the henry position.

I'd assume Mbappe plays as a 9 with Rodrygo probably the most likely to lose his spot. Or they could move more permanently to a 4-3-1-2 which they seem to have used a lot, with the pair of them starting up front.

[jillcwhomever]

it’d be great if he didn’t wouldn’t i! Not sure he would though. Maybe he can collaborate with Ulla and get her to write it 

That would be cool a co-contribution from Ulla, who has written a book on football!

Don't like the new format but this extra CL spot race is rather interesting to follow

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Don't like the new format but this extra CL spot race is rather interesting to follow

There is a weird aspect to this though, in that we have less points that Roma, because we got the same as them in the group stages but won rather than got second.

So they played 2 extra matches than us and have more points

It would seem at least

Edit: my mistake, I thought they had the same record as us but it is 4 wins and 1 draw, rather than 4 wins 2 losses

[Redley]

It would be pretty tremendous for United to finish 5th and miss out on that CL place.... because of their shit performance in the CL this season.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

For those who want to see Sporting play, given that we're linked to Amorim, they've just kicked off their EL match at home against Atalanta.

It would be hilarious yes, but they're not finishing 5th.

Enjoyable too thus far. Lots of young talent on view, though lots of regulars benched.

[Robinred]

1-0 Sporting - impressive goal, and very reminiscent of a style of goal we see from the Reds.

[SouthDerryLaggo]

Love watching sporting, have adopted them as a second team after going to watch them in Lisbon last year.

[Willo99]

Atalanta could be about 4-1 up here.

[btroom]

Atalanta could be about 4-1 up here.

Not watching. this contradicts posts above lol

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Atalanta could be about 4-1 up here.

Sporting missing 4 key players (Gyokeres, Inacio, Goncalves and Adan), but yeah, since going ahead they look quite open and struggling against Atalanta's pressing, after starting brightly.

This is a cracking game - much more watchable than either of last night’s borefests.

[SouthDerryLaggo]

That gyorkores looks lively. Has scored a load of goals this year too. Much will he go for in the summer?

At Coventry last season too. He’s 25, so a bit of a late bloomer. Lookman has been lively, did he ‘fail’ at Goodison, or move of his own accord?

he does look lively, is the the exception to "once touched by the ev"
Big coates doing well too, good to see

[Andy82lfc]

Yeah after some decent spells Sporting will be thankful for a draw here I reckon.

[QC]

Another fascinating game involving City.

Which way will it go? Got to love the jeopardy of the knockout stages.

Impossible to say thanks to the intriguing level-playing field we’re all being treated to

Won't watch this, but I expect traffic chaos has caused a half empty stadium again?

I was told that City fans are staying home to protest the despicable decision to stop inflated sponsorship from a company also owned by your owner.

[JRed]

Can’t they get a tram?

[Elzar]

Wonder if this is the lowest viewed knockout round of the champions league we’ve had. So little interest, even from the wider ‘football twitter’

[Ray K]

Boy, how must have the group that Copenhagen been that they qualified from?

[Robinred]

No big love for Leipzig, but would love them to turn this around - and they’ve made a promising start.

R.M have Carvajal and Rudiger - not keen on either, they both have an ugly side to their game.

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Predictable yawnfest down the M62, not helped by some atrocious goalkeeping. Honestly, I don't know how their devoted, lifelong followers manage to stay awake, they're dull as fuck to watch. Copenhagen, sadly, are shite.

[Nick110581]

Copenhagen are awful.

[rob1966]

Can’t they get a tram?

There will be tram issues too..............

[JRed]

There will be tram issues too..............

Didn’t the council put trams on but the Abu Dhabi fans complained about the cost of getting on it?

[TepidT2O]

This shite knocked united out

[Bennett]

Madrid don't look up to much at all. RB have had 2 or 3 decent openings already but the lad Openda up front has been really wasteful. You'd be licking your lips at this if you were a City fan.

They’d still have more chance than Leipzig so hopefully they go through.

[I've been a good boy]

Guessing Abu Dhabi will get Stevenage in the next round.

[Bennett]

They’d still have more chance than Leipzig so hopefully they go through.

I agree fwiw, but if these are our best hope to knock City out I'm not confident.

[smicer07]

Nobody cares if Man City win it again anyway.

I would take great joy in them being knocked out, not gonna lie
