Yesterday Real played so much more confident and aggressive than City that it seemed that they played 2 teams from different leagues, so great was the difference in the class of the teams.
Real did not let City relax from the first minute until the 80th minute, when Ancelotti made 3 substitutions to start keeping the score and if Real had not relaxed, I think City would not have been able to score a single goal. Rudiger and Asensio played very confidently and even the usually not the most stable Tchouameni played well.
City is still not out of the crisis and although the City management will probably not fire Guardiola, given his former merits, but it is clear that City is not able to completely overcome the crisis.
Did I just see Gurvadol slide past my apartment yesterday? Hahaha, everything was like a film when watching the game. From the beginning of the first half to the end of the game, Real Madrid dominated while pressing Manchester City at every opportunity they got. Literally, Pep will be paranoid yesterday and might even be crying. At least he was removed from the league by another champion of UCL. Imagine it was Club Brugge and other smaller teams that removed them from the league. It will be so shameful and painful. Time of Pep has passed to be sincere.
pep was trying to play smart and refused starting Erling halland hoping that marmoush would do something remarkable against the real Madrid defense that is gradually coming back to he complete form. unfortunately, real Madrid where not into the game expecting anything unserious, they prepared to silence halland and bringing marmoush in place of halland even make the defense work much easier for them. an hatrick for kelian mbappe even makes it more devastating for Pep and for carlo Ancelotti, he keeps believing that he leads Madrid to getting the 16th champions league trophy and doing his last on this tune will be the greatest way of signing out of the coaching space.
the responsibility is now on the shoulder of Liverpool and arsenal who are currently the strongest premier league team that can put up a good fight for the European teams that are still left in the champions league. with the form Madrid has entered into, the rest of the teams in the round of sixteen will be hoping they never get to play against madrid because the goal as it stands is to make it to the finals and if possible take it all home. coming from a playoff to get this will be quite a remarkable journey.
