I would start both rashford and raphinha. Rashford is a champions league coded player and Flick should abuse that luxury.
All this politics had made me distracted from the fact that we have a bloody UCL game today. I hope the players aren’t affected by it
I think Newcastle will score first. The end result thou, even idk
Pope
Trippier – Thiaw – Burn – Hall
Ramsey – Tonali – Joelinton
Murphy – Woltemade – Gordon
-vs-
Lewandowski
Raphinha – López – Yamal
Pedri – Bernal
Cancelo – Martín – Cubarsí – García
García
Ez win
Either Newcastle win 2-1 or we wreck them 4-1
This is gonna be a tough game. Wish we weren’t so tired and injured, but I believe
It’s funny. I’m soooo confident we can win comfortably here, but I also felt the exact same way against Chelsea earlier this season lol
I trust in this team to get a victory
I always have a bad feeling when it’s UCL 😭😭
