But he's got to get things right.

I feel like City right now are getting results when they do get results in spite of Pep.

He's not a value added to the team the way he has been in the past.

Real Madrid tend not to just concede many goals and get hammered.

But I think experience here matters too.

I don't know if Arbeloa does something stupid in this game.

It's going to take a whole bunch of these stars lining up.

Maybe Pape starts, but he's not fully fit, and so he's not good, and they have to burn his substitution, whatever.

It's going to be episodes, but I still have Real Madrid at a solid 60%.

To qualify?

It's a lot to turn around.

It's a lot to turn around for Sporting.

They're not a team that's built to go and run up the score.

That said, the thing about Bodo is if they go and they play the same way and commit people forward the way they've done,

You know, they can be exposed.

So, look, I know every neutral in the world is rooting for Bodo, but...

I'm only going to go 55.

And I'll tell you why.

At some point, the bounces go against you.

First six games of the Champions League in the group stage, we saw Bodo being really, really unlucky.
