madrid's defeat over sociedad, did not destroy the mentality of the madrid players, rodrygo successfully scored 2 goals, which at the same time made madrid win over osasuna, even though osasuna had been waiting for the copa del rey trophy since decades ago. Facing Man City in the UCL match will definitely put a lot of pressure on Madrid because Man City will definitely try hard to get rid of Madrid in the UCL in any way possible, maybe Pep will use the strategy used by Sociedad to beat Madrid.
Real Madrid deliberately lost to Sociedad because they wanted to focus on the Copa Del Rey final, which was against Osasuna and ended up being won by Real Madrid. Currently, the Copa Del Rey League match has finished, and maybe Real Madrid will return to focus on the UEFA Champions League because of the opponents they face very hard. Manchester City has several mainstay strikers who are very difficult to stop, and I'm sure Real Madrid will implement a full defense in the match against Manchester City.
