Real Madrid must have found out how bad they were against Manchester City. They will really need to make a big improvement for next season. They need to stay strong in offense and defense both. Manchester City just tore their defense apart in the second leg. Now Benzema has left the team people are wondering who will be filling his space in the team.
Real Madrid should make their investment in the right way to become much more competitive in the Champions League again. They can actually make some adjustments in the defense line as well. Because I found the defenders quite desperate against Manchester City attackers.
Real Madrid was outplayed and paid for their lack of pressure on the Manchester City team. The only way to deal with City is to constantly attack and be defensively alert at all times. Madrid needs to bring in more players to replace some players, especially in the attack and defense. Benzema needs a worthy replacement so as do some aging players. Most teams have started preparing for next season, so Madrid should take advantage of the transfer market now if they want to get the best players.
We can't say much at this point but I'm pretty sure that City won't win it again. They need 1 bad game in knockout stage and they will be out. Going 2years without bad game it's really hard and City does not have legacy of Real M to do that.
It's too early to start predicting next season's winner but I also agree that City will not win it next season. Their performance in the finals proved that they need to do more if they want to retain the cup. There are so many teams in Europe that would have won the finals if they had the opportunities that Inter Milan had. I am sure that Napoli's Victor Osimhen and his team mates will not waste the chances that Martinez and Lukaku lost.
