Manchester City and its Fans forgot who they were facing. Well, Real Madrid, which is also the club that has won the most trophies in the UCL, should not be underestimated until the last minute or even the last second of the match. And they also forget that Real Madrid is the team that also won the UCL last season. So making things that could heat up the Real Madrid squad is something that must be avoided. Because when this squad gets the encouragement to play better when pressed, the result is that we have often seen Real Madrid make dramatic comebacks in several competitions. I think Manchester City let their guard down once they knew they were ahead and there were only a few minutes left in the game. And well they never expected that those few minutes would bring them defeat.
Yes Manchester City and their fans did not respect Real Madrid enough and that was big mistake. When they are playing against team like Real Madrid with their great history and skilled players and ability to keep fighting they can not relax and think they have already won. They have shown many times that they can come back in amazing ways and Manchester City got caught off guard. When team becomes too confident and comfortable they can start to fail and that is what happened to Manchester City at worst possible time. This is tough lesson for them to learn but it is one they will probably remember for very long time.
