Let's do this.

Don't allow an early goal, keep pressure up and don't concede. 1-0 would be great, 2-0 would be magnificent.

2-0 is actually quite nice. With that lead if you score an away goal the home team usually crumbles.

2-0 is according to me the worst lead in football. :D
2-0 is the best lead you can get.

In the return game, the opponent needs to score two goals, so preferably tries to get one more early. Thing is, if you score once, they'll be pretty much fucked.

3-1, is a "bad" lead. 2-0 has a very high percentage chance of passing

I really hope we dont get wrecked by Madrid. Im really nervous about the game... we will need Tevez and Pereyra to drop in to the midfield to help out i think. We need to stay compact then break quick.

Problem with 2-0 is that it's normally a very tricky lead to take away from home. Many times I've seen teams confused whether they should attack or wait for the other team to attack them and counter. What tends to happen in this scenario is that the minute the other team gets 1, the floodgates almost open because the defending team sits even deeper and tends not to attack and it gives the attacking team even more impetus being only one short. I think the 1-0 keeps the team far more focussed and attack minded and they're always on their toes.

Teams with a 2-0 lead tend not to attack away from home and just sit deep.

Yep, staying compact is key. That infact was the hallmark of the Lippi era.

real=ronaldo if we mange to stop him then we’ll go through
I dont know man.. I could see James or Bale hurting us too.

When they have the ball we should just use Marchisio and Vidal to press them and have Pereyra and Tevez drop back into the midfield so they can create a counter attack when we get the ball back. I think Pereyra will also help out alot in terms of chasing ppl down and his pace along with Morata's will be important on the counter.

Its going to be a tiring match as our midfielders will have to run alot to help the defenders and give us double teams on Ronaldo and Bale then try to counter.

Allegri will set the team up that way I feel. Thats pretty much the only way we could beat Madrid because if we spread ourselves out and tried to go toe to toe with them we would get taken apart like Munich last year. We are going to be compact then counter punching like Mayweather!
