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.
I wouldn't write off Guardiola completely, after all his services to City are immense and probably the only chance of him being sacked would only be if City fall out of the EPL.
Guardiola is going through a difficult period in his life and it probably affects the team, he recently went through a divorce and I tere are rumors that Guardiola's ex-wife had a very strong influence on him and his vision to the game and apparently Guardiola can't come to his senses after such a shock in his personal life.
I have no other explanation, because a year ago these same players that Guardiola had, literally destroyed all the teams in his path and several years in a row he phenomenally beat Liverpool in the EPL in the last rounds and was always a clear favorite and the absence of Rodri is difficult to explain such a failure.
Guardiola has brought a lot to the game, starting with Barcelona, and at City Guardiola brought it to near perfection and at one point Manchester City seemed like a real machine that knows no failures and beats any team without pity.
