Yeah, leaving out Gonzalo.

But even just to take away a number nine, proper number nine like Gonzalo, to play another of those...

kind of wide player, number 10, if you want, like Brahim.

So arguably playing with no number nines at all against a team like City, I think was a big call and it paid off.

I thought Brahim was amazing, not just in the way he assisted the Valverde third goal, but in everything, especially without the ball, because that's where they had to be good.

You could hit people in transition, but it's how well organized you'll be when you don't have the ball.

And they also knew they would not have the ball for much of the time, and they didn't.

But they made the most of it when they had it, and to be fair, they defended well when they didn't have it.

I will say this about Real Madrid.

Arbeloa, you mean?

Yeah, completely.

Usually as a massive boost, because it is, and there's only six days between the first leg and the second leg on Tuesday at the Etihad.

But certainly for the game next week, do the same.

I'm not sure Bellingham won't be back.

Mbappe, they're still hoping for him to be back.

But don't risk him either.

You're in a strong position.

Just play...

Same team or if not a very similar team this the same game plan and that would take you through right talking about game plan We're gonna have to discuss peps game plan because we can talk about the players who still could let him down and whatever on the night and

Semenyo... No, there's a 4-2-2-2.
