This Manchester City - Real Madrid game didn’t disappoint at all. The heavyweights entertained us tonight with beautiful goals and thrillers during the game. Even though Manchester City are a dominant team and are very competent, they still new champions in the tournament and will always have a difficult time facing Real Madrid, a club which has football heritage.
The match was very entertaining, we rarely saw many goals in the quarter final of UCL. Today, we have 6 goals, this deserves to be the final match. Unfortunately, the match Real Madrid vs Man City must happen in the quarter final. However, I think it is no problem, which team to win the Leg 2 probably has the highest chance to be in the final round. I think there are no other teams that have very balanced teams in each line like Real Madrid and Man City.
In today match, Man City more dominated the ball possession but Real Madrid could play more effective because they succeed to make more shot attempts. I think for the Leg 2, it will be the same as the match today. Man City probably dominated the ball possessions and Real Madrid will play more effectively again. However, I really hope Ancolotti to change a bit the formation and tactics. I assume the will be better to use the formation 4-2-2-2. They used this formation when they defeated Athletic Club few days ago.
