We have done this before. Barcelona, where Zalayeta scores the winning goal. And R Madrid, where Buffon saved a penalty and Nedved scored a long shot

How is this relevant?
We've only been knocked out twice in CL knockouts under Allegri. Against Bayern and Madrid. Both we played at home first too.
So I guess I could say we are undefeated when we play the away leg first, even though it's only happened twice in 4 years (Porto and Monaco in 16-17).
It's irrelevant whether home or away first.

Our team never played the way they played first half agains Man Utd at OT. What if that was our style of play, teams like A. Madrid would lose the game before it starts. I liked that first half I thought this is it finally we can play this extremely attractive game. The pundits of BT Sports said that Man United seems like the away team.
Tomorrow, play like that first half and we win.

We've played well against the big teams this season (brain fart at the end vs Utd aside).
All the boring or energy conservation displays came against the smaller teams.
First time we've looked more "natural" and comfortable in the big, CL games. Finally. It's a good sign going forward.

Good point. It's a disadvantage too. Esp when the opponent is a tactical team like Atletico or Juve capable of being flexible and playing in different way or counterattacking.
Playing at home first AND taking the lead is a pretty big advantage. In second leg, the team with the lead can set up in whatever way they want. The other team needing to score is predictable and can play in only one way. And as the match goes on, pressure builds up more and team trailing becomes even more susceptible to choking while at the same time becoming even more predictable.
The myth of playing at home second being better is just that - a myth.

Could not agree more 
he has the appearance of being better defender, at least to some people, just because he wont go forward. Could you instruct Cancelo to do the same? Probably... To be fair, if you won't start him against atletico, should he start in CL at all then? Have we paid 40mil for a RB/LB who will play Serie A and CL group?
Btw, going back to last year... The first Real goal was one of the worst defensive fuck ups i've ever seen. I mean, how could you find yourself out of position so bad, you are nowhere near your position in defense... As and RB. On a positional attack. 3 minutes into the game.
This is inexcusable...

Although I adore Cancelo,after his injury he is not playing 100% of his abilities.Not to mention that he "forgot" to came back in defense and dribble very near to Sczesny.I thought that I would never say this but I agree that DS might be a better choice.No flair but you know that you get a "soldier" in your squad.Also not that bad(very far from Cancelo's abilities) in attack.
Nice research.
