I think we can take this Real side.
This is nowhere near the quality or class of the side that beat us a couple of years ago.
They're lacking a Ronaldo in his prime, and a Bale in (almost) his prime, while we're a significantly more improved side than the one they beat - starting with the man between the posts.
It will just depend on how clinical we can be in front of goal, because there will be chances to be had wit this real team as we all saw tonight, of which City should have capitalized on and put this tie to bed.
Their wingers might be a problem - particularly Vinicius' flank, from which there's the danger he could royally skin Trent, if Trent has one of his (bad) 'Trent' games.
But overall I think we have more quality and experience to handle them than we did back them.
