Ok well thats that then.
Sure they’ve got a couple of key players returning but hopefully we’ll have a fully fit Wanyama and Toby to pick from, along with Trips, Son and Lucas to give us different options
if we get far enough...could we face Real again

As happy as I am about last night, I've got a tinge of frustration as we should've won that game, possibly by two.
Should be fine if we play to our potential but just hope we don't come to regret it.
After being 2 down theres no way we should be regretting it.

Nah, not having that. We played really well and certainly deserved the score draw, but they could and should have put the game to bed with the second penalty, and even aside from that they had at least as many clear cut chances as we did despite us dominating the possession. Draw was the 'right' result for me on the balance of the game, and it leaves us in a great position for the second leg, but let's not pretend like we couldn't just have easily lost that game by a couple as we could have won it.But we were so good we deserve more then that.

I reckon we need to play 343 for the return leg and use crosses into the box to cause havoc and pen their fullbacks back. Toby and Wanyama back in this side will be enough to limit their returning players:
LlorisBench: Gazzaniga Rose Dier Alli Lucas Lamela Llorente
Toby Sanchez Verts
Trippier Wanyama Dembele Davies
Eriksen Kane Son
