As much as we can hurt them going forward, I do have one big worry.
Ronaldo is guaranteed to try and position himself between the right side of our defense between Trent and Lovren.
Trent especially has been very suspect in dealing with long diagonal balls over his shoulder and Lovren as we all know is erratic at the best of times. We really need the two lads to be comfortable and know what they are doing because he will only need one lapse and he will score.
Fair point on both. Suspect it will be a point of emphasis during the build-up.
Saying that, when I've seen Real this year, they have not looked as impressive as in years past, not as dynamic - and that includes Ronaldo. They will be favourites of course, and hey, it's Real Madrid - but I have been much more impressed with our displays going forward. If we can deal with the kind of thing you mention, I really like our chances.
