Even though many people say that Real Madrid won and qualified for the semifinals based on luck, in my opinion, it's not just relying on luck, Anceloti has smart tactics, he knows that if Real Madrid doesn't get a draw, Man City will take advantage of the situation by playing at home as winners, so from Madrid kept its defense tight, making it difficult for Man City to score goals, even though Man City took many shots but only 1 of them was scored as a goal.
After the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, he was asked how he feel about todays match and his answer was "that's the only way to win the game" which implies that in other to win Manchester City at Etihad, you must be quick to make goals from the beginning of the match and then quickly switch to defensive style including the center forward, they defended for the rest of the minutes after Rodrigo gave them first goal in the 12 minutes of the game, that lame excuse for people calling this a luck.
Real Madrid only recorded 8 shots compared to Man City, but this shows how great Anceloti's intelligence is by applying strategy to his players, even the penalty kick taken by Real Madrid was successful in bringing them to the semifinals and eliminating Man City, which is something to be proud of even though Man City is a strong club. in attacking but intelligence and experience are very important in delivering the right attack.
There is no way for any team to have much shot on target when they defended the whole minute. The only time the center forward make attempts for shortnon target is when they notice that Manchester City has change to attacking style and weren't paying much attention to defend, that's when they attack. This was why Gearlish had a yellow card for fouling Bellingham when they had no man left to defend because he was about to attack and score.
