Of course, Pep should be proud that his rival kicked his ass out of the league. However, something strange happened yesterday. Unlike Manchester City who we know are always dominating their opponents and do have the highest ball possession, was unable to hold the ball for long. Madrid was the ones in charge of all the ball possessions, dominated the game and scored more goals.
Pep possibly feels very bad with his decision to stay with Manchester City after winning 3 titles exclusively Champions League title three seasons ago. If he had left them in that summer, he would have been recognized differently. With this season, it's another evidence that Pep Guardiola is repeating his failures in Barcelona and Bayern Munich when his tactics were constrained by opponents and he failed to change and series of bad results come consequently.
Even though Mbappe is a star player, of course Real Madrid's success is the result of the cooperation of all the players, in the end Mbappe is the person who can continue and take advantage of the opportunities created. In essence, all Real Madrid players are extraordinary.
Mbappe is fighting for his first Champions League title ever in his career and this hat-trick is a best match he has had for Real Madrid so far. Not only about total goals he scored in a match, but also importance of the match for his club. Beating Manchester City convincingly, Real Madrid shown that they are really ready to win another title in Champions League.
