After this season's Champions League quarter-final matchup, the Champions League king Galaxy Real Madrid once again met with the Blue Moon Legion coached by Guardiola, due to the gap in the overall strength of the two sides, so that many fans are optimistic about Manchester City's promotion prospects, the first leg of the game at home manchester City, indeed also showed their super combat effectiveness, relying on a smooth overall attack, so that the Galaxy's backline is very embarrassing, but Real Madrid relies on the personal play of this season's state of courage Benzema, Only lost by a score of 3-4, so that the second leg of the game still has suspense, and Ancelotti still has a trump card not out, that is, the defensive ability of the back Ofemuro, I believe that in the second leg of the Bernabeu battle between the two sides, the Galaxy battleships with their strongest lineup still hope to use the home advantage to reverse the Blue Moon Army to advance to the Champions League final this season!
Casemiro's comeback increases Real Madrid's defensive dominance
I believe that even the hardcore fans of the Galaxy will admit that this game Real Madrid was favored by the goddess of luck, in the case of the back line was completely exploded by the other side, there is still only a 1-goal disadvantage, so that they see the hope of returning to the home to beat the opponent to win, the reason why Real Madrid is very embarrassed in the game is that their defensive system does not form a good suppression effect on Manchester City's attack.
Especially de Bruyne, known as the first offensive midfielder in world football today, is more successful in the game, Real Madrid gave him too many opportunities to easily play the ball, if you can't improve this, the Galaxy second leg is very difficult to qualify, but there are many reasons for Real Madrid's poor performance on the defensive end of this game, in addition to The two major centre-backs Alaba and Militang are not in the best competitive state, there is also a very important reason, that is, the protection of the defenders in this battle is not enough, Casemiro's absence was a very important reason, as the latter did not appear to help the team because of an injury.
As long as it can be defended, Real Madrid has the hope of turning the tables
However, I believe that after returning to the Bernabeu, Casemiro will definitely return, and his appearance will inevitably increase the hardness of the Real Madrid midfield, especially his super one-on-one staring ability, which can limit De Bruyne's play to the greatest extent, without his scalpel-like passing, and now the threat of the forward attack, Manchester City's offensive firepower will have a significant decline, which is an opportunity for the Galaxy.
As long as they can hold on at home, Real Madrid can see the hope of winning, after all, in the first leg of the peak showdown, the Galactico has proved their ability to seize the opportunity, Vinicius and Benzema have their own ability to tear apart the Manchester City defense line, Manchester City's overall pressure style, will also give the stupid bear combination enough space and depth to fight back, they can contribute to the Galaxy, thus erasing the disadvantage of the first leg.
And for Real Madrid, they also have an advantage in mentality, even if the Champions League stops in the final four, it is also a completely acceptable ending for the Galacticos, which will also make them play more relaxed and confident on the field, after returning to the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's goal is also very clear, that is, to drag the suspense of the game backwards, even if it is impossible to beat the opponent with more than 1 goal in the conventional time, as long as the game is dragged into extra time or penalty shootout, their Champions League DNA will make the balance of victory biased to themselves!
