Manchester City did not play badly in the first half, but they conceded in the second half. Leipzig defended well and did not concede many goals, which is a success for them. I won't be surprised if we see a surprise result in the second match. Everyone thinks that Manchester City will easily win their home game, but if Leipzig has a good strategy, they can win the game
Leipzig are not a bad club, but like everyone else I think they will be unlucky in the return game. Manchester City have played poor away games recently, but they play much better at home. Although even in the last match their stats were better than Leipzig's. I think they can win the next game, although I agree that the unexpected outcome of the match cannot be ruled out.
Leipzig success in holding Manchester City to a draw is proof that their club really has the motivation not to be daunted by Manchester City's achievements. From these results, it is certain that leg 2 will be a mature consideration for Leipzig. At least they are very careful even though it is difficult to beat Manchester City at home later. Pep Guardiola said they were disappointed with this result because they saw that their players were not very effective in attack. Haaland also did not perform optimally in that match. The absence of Kevin De Bruyne has had a major impact on Manchester City's attack sector. Mahrez needs the right ball supply and that has to be Kevin De Bruyne.
Well, Guardiola should primarily blame himself for this result. As is often the case with him, instead of building up the advantage and giving the task to the players to pass to Haaland, who is very dependent on passes, although he was open in this game, but the other players ignored him and played some strange soccer, descending into individual actions, while the skill as De Bruyne has no other players. Only once Gundogan was able to shine, the rest was a very sad game by Manchester City and it's good that they did not lose away at all. Maybe City as well as Liverpool are having a hard time at the moment, the feeling is that City players just do not want to play.
