I thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match seems very boring to me now. Neither team is doing much attacking. The players of both teams are playing very carefully. Mbappe is in Madrid's squad. But we have yet to see a better performance from Mabppe. At the end of 30 minutes, both teams managed to make only one shot each. Madrid had 51% ball possession and Atalanta had 49% ball possession.
As both teams are playing defensive tactics, it looks like the first half will end goalless. However, in the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy. I hope the second half will be more exciting. Madrid really want to win today's match.
Both teams seemed to play more carefully in the first half. And indeed the match was quite boring. Initially I thought both teams would immediately play aggressively from the start but it seems my guess was wrong. but I was quite surprised because Atalanta could also match Real Madrid well. And Real Madrid is also still having difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense. In the second half, maybe the fun will only begin. Because in the first half the two teams were just testing each other's strengths and trying to observe the opponents' weaknesses. So that in the second half all teams will have finished analyzing and a better strategy will definitely be used. But if it turns out that in the second half the match is still running the same as in the first half then it looks like this match will not be as lively as we expected.
