To be honest, even one match from last night's match didn't live up to my expectations. but as a supporter I am quite happy, in the end Arsenal was able to move on to the next phase. one of these teams is my favorite team that competed last night. no different from Barcelona, one of my favorite teams in La Liga. Barcelona was lucky against Napoli, because if they played against another team their probability would be very low. that doesn't mean Napoli is a bad team, but their performance is more unstable than Barcelona. last night's match, only Barcelona matched my predictions. for Arsenal, I initially thought there would be at least three goals in the normal 90 minutes. however, this is football.
Talking about Real Madrid, I actually don't want to say what you said. although, I also feel that Madrid did not show their best performance in this competition. but what is certain is that I am absolutely sure that Don Carlo really knows and is aware of his squad, both in terms of weaknesses and weaknesses. well, because Real Madrid didn't play a good game against Leipzig, that doesn't mean they will play the same when they meet their opponents in the next phase. at least as a seasoned coach with a wealth of experience, Ancelotti will do what is best for his squad. moreover, Real Madrid has a winning mentality as an elite team in this competition. Let's see how Don Carlo takes his team when they play in this competition.
The UCL is now shaping up and we’re having about 6 teams already secured a spot in the UCL last 8. The competition is now getting very fierce as we now have some top teams in the last 8. This is a norm in every competition Beacause as the competition grows fierce, some top teams will be let put due to silly mistakes and this is always an occurrence in every UCL stage. As the competition slims down to the final, we always have that one team we look to be the winner.
My main team who I’m rooting so much for is Real Madrid. This team despite not having a great 2nd leg in the UCL Round of 16 against Liepzig already shown how much of a strong squad they can be, they have the squad depth and the required determination from the players. You can’t also deny the fact that their coach, Ancelotti is a tactical genius and is very good when it comes to European competitions. At their current state, I think not even Man City will be able to stop them.
Yes this is because of the pressure Man City is facing in the English League as they’re in a fierce competition with Liverpool and Arsenal and it’s unlike last season that they were already leading the league with comfortable 6-8 points when they faced each other. Talking abput Arsenal too, I’m also worried for them because with their performance yesterday, then I think they might be eliminated after this last 8 stage and might not be able to go through to the last 4. Real Madrid, Man City and Inter Milan still remains the top 3 clubs on the radar and I have huge confidence on Real Madrid being able to win this trophy even though I’m a strong supporter of English football. I can’t just ignore the works and tactics of Don Carlo as his tactics is very capable of taking any team down.
