Two awesome games.

Mourinho vs Mancini... I am truly torn, lets call it a draw?

Madrid game will be a draw. I fancy City to get knocked out in the group stage again.

Jose's XI according to the latest rumours:

----------------Casillas

Arbeloa-----Pepe-----S. Ramos-----Coentrao

------Essien----Alonso----Khedira

----------------Modric

--------Benzema---------Ronaldo

Who should be starting instead? Di Maria and Ozil were a facking disgrace at the weekend.

I would put Callejon instead of Khedira or Essien. I don't think we need both.

---------------Casillas

Arbeloa----Pepe----Varane-----Marcelo

------Essien----Alonso----Khedira

Di Maria-------Higuain--------Ronaldo

City's midfield is Toure-Barry-J.Garcia.

Glad to see that both teams will be going for it.

Ahhhhhhh...now they are saying it was an error on UEFA.

----------------Casillas

Arbeloa-----Pepe-----S. Ramos-----Coentrao

-----------Alonso----Khedira

Di Maria--------Modric-----------Ronaldo

---------------Higuain

And City's was a mistake as well:

-----------------Hart

Maicon-----Lescott----Kompany-----Clichy

Nasri------Barry-----Y. Toure-----Silva

-----------Tevez-----Balotelli

F*cking hell now RM website says it is Varane over Ramos but UEFA saying the opposite. Twitter is going to explode................

Uefa website has 2 different lineups for both teams on the same page. Numpties.

Apparently this is it. #josehatessergioramos

Nastasic, seriously?

While Nastasic is a great talent, and sooner or later he will become Kompany's regular partner, but away to Real Madrid is hardly the kind of game to give this kid his debut at the heart of defense.

Poor move by Mancio. He is risking more than just a group game here...

Both teams have picked a load of facking runners, going to be a shit game now.

First theory: Ramos was quoted as saying that the preseason tour in the US did not help the team, Mourinho responded that maybe the trip to Puerto Rico (for the Spain NT) did not help. And now Ramos is on the bench.

Second theory: Varane's agent has supposedly been saying that he is not happy and wants to leave in December. And now Ramos is on the bench.

Well Ronaldo still looks sad................

I searched your hashtag Jaime, and there were no results. This isn't good enough. Your subversive anti-Mourinho movement needs to become universal.
