Everyone thought whoever got through would be facing Napoli who've looked fantastic this season. Them getting knocked out by Milan was like us getting beat by Chelsea when we were miles ahead in the league.
Inter have lost 11 league games this season. There's no way he's messing around with the team for the final. If we beat the rags we'll win the treble comfortably in my opinion.

No ' if '- there will be red dust under our heels on the way to Istanbul :D

The cunts from the media are smart.
See Jordan who started with "we are the best team, we should blow away Inter and rags, if not is only us to blame".

Watch the narrative in the next three weeks. This is how they are going to do it.
Build pressure around the boys with this.

The excuses are rolling in from the red shite media. If we equal their legacy, theirs will still be better as they won it with a group of kids. I looked the starting 11 up for their chumps league final and it contained 4 - no mean feat but don't let the detail get in the way. Let's get Chelsea ticked off, rest and concentrate on those red bastards

Pep's smarter mate. It feels different now somehow. We're just on it. Brilliant against Arsenal, Bayern and RM. League games around those CL games which in the past we might have struggled. Different players stepping up to the mark.
I'm more worried about Wembley as it's their only chance to stop years of piss taking and they know if and when we win the other 2 if they stop us winning the treble we'll never hear the end of it.

Jordan & White are paid to pump out the distilled ordure of cartel anti-City propaganda. They are just a couple of the host of shills stinking out our foreign owned media with lies. "Tainted" is the Pavlovian trigger word they are currently implanting into the microscopic brains of their red herd target audience. In a few years time when the US clubs' rigged PL 'charges' disappear along with their Hedge Fund backers you'll hear no apologies from these scummy parasites.

Do you have enough points to get a ticket? Or are you going to just for atmosphere?

We have 20,000 tickets allocated. Unlike with Klipperty suggesting Scouse2 fans should go along to Paris for a weekend out and it being easy to get to ( Paris) driving or with the trains , coaches etc, Istanbul is quite far away by Car , bus etc . Talking to some fans at home today, the thinking is that it might be quite easy to get tickets.

I have zero hope of getting a ticket (not a member) but I am toying with the idea of flying out for the day for the atmosphere. Don't seem to be any direct flights to Istanbul that day yet however.

I had the same issue. Weird since I am going from Bucharest, and decided to go by car a few days earlier. But I am still waiting for the official confirmation after the second part of the elections in Turkey. They will be on the 28.

UEFA should really come out and confirm the venue because people will spend and a refund from the air companies is harder than ever now.

You would have to question as to why the final is even being held there.

I saw it mentioned in the MEN, that Uefa had absolutely confirmed this before Wednesday's game? City are due to release ticket and travel packages today

An appalling decision with no thought whatsoever to either the travelling teams or match goers

It should be held in Western Europe every year

Can you share a link? I must have missed it.

I don't think it's that simple, to be honest. For example, Twatter limited the information coming from Turkey on Sunday, when the first round of the elections were held. Musk and his ideas.

But the accommodations were cheap. Found something in march, agree, but excellent price.

9 airlines will open up direct flights to Istanbul from Manchester solely for the champions League weekend. Will all be scheduled and announced soon.
