Just in case anyone was getting carried away,

all I'd like to say is, beware the pernicious influence of illegal Hong Kong gambling syndicates. There have been instances lately where the favorite has suffered a bad Champions League knockout-round defeat in the first leg away from home, only to overturn it in the second match; beginning with Porto v Bayern, ten years ago to the week.

11/2 for Real Madrid to qualify. Not bad as a little hedge against the crushing dissapointment we'll feel.

Yes, Real Madrid owe themselves at least that; they'll be playing for pride so the ****housery will be off the charts.

Fair enough, so long as we go through. Mikel can prove to them that he actually is, in fact, the football-terrorist everyone says he is :-)

Plenty of work for us to do tomorrow evening.

If we get through, PSG are certainly beatable. Excellent, but beatable....
