After Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3, Guardiola described the game as a "wonderful night", adding: "When playing against such a good team as Real Madrid, he will punish you for the mistakes you made, and I can't ask more of my players.
But in the actual game, I'm afraid Guardiola didn't think so.
Mahrez shot into the side-netting
Guardiola was furious about the loss of opportunities, Ming manchester City led 2:0 in 11 minutes, and the real Madrid backline has been "committing crimes", but how did they win only one goal in the end? Yes, it's all the man's fault, he's carrying more than 90% of the world's pot, and everything is Benzema's fault.
When the game went to the 11th minute, I am afraid that the hearts of Real Madrid fans have been cooled, right? Was it another fiasco? But in such a situation, the two sides with the way the two sides are happy together, so that the game is going in the direction of a goal battle.
Almost every ball in Manchester City is accompanied by mistakes by Real Madrid players
First take a look at The second half of Foden's header, I believe you can understand why Real Madrid want to introduce Rudiger, no buy, ah, in these two games with Chelsea and Manchester City, Real Madrid's defender can be said to be on the top to the end.
A variety of poor anti-aircraft postures allowed Foden to easily head the goal, which was once a goal that almost pushed Real Madrid off a cliff.
Of course there must be, but Manchester City have goals, naturally there will be happiness.
City missed opportunities
Just before Foden's goal, Manchester City almost scored the third goal, Mahrez passed on the left side of Real Madrid, algeria Messi is not too much, but this time, his shot after bursting into the real madrid small box is undoubtedly the level of the british star Husky.
When the ball hit the goalpost and rebounded, Courtois panicked and watched the Manchester City player complete the supplementary shot, but coincidentally, Real Madrid's performance was not very good Carvajal, and the backhand was a relief, defusing Manchester City's two-shot streak.
Real Madrid's mistakes continue
Zinchenko swooped down to the ribs in front of the penalty area on the left, and a long diagonal pass crossed Valverde and Militão in succession, giving it to Laporta's feet, even if it was Sterling, I am afraid that Manchester City will have to expand the score again, but manchester City defender Laporta shot in the right direction this time, Courtois was very focused, pressing the ball under him.
You think that's the end of it?
Militang made another mistake
More than 70 minutes into the game, Militang thought that the referee would blow the Real Madrid players foul, but Bernardo Silva took the ball and shot past the dazed Militang, sending Real Madrid to the "edge of hell" again.
The referee, on the other hand, held aloft the offensive hand and declared City's goal valid.
If It weren't for Benzema having a spoon penalty in more than 80 minutes and chasing another goal for Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have faced a two-goal disadvantage when they returned home! Under such circumstances, Real Madrid is trying to reverse the difficulty of the score, I am afraid that it will need a miracle of the history of the Champions League.
If you cut out 7 goals, the big battle between Manchester City and Real Madrid is like a "happy collection" of Manchester City's attacking players + the "happy collection" of Real Madrid defensive players, and both sides are very happy.
However, everyone knows where Real Madrid have the advantage
In terms of possession rate, Manchester City and Real Madrid 46 open, shooting and attacking times, Manchester City also occupies an absolute advantage, Manchester City's advantage is very sufficient, but it is not able to completely hammer Real Madrid in this game that may have led 3-4 goals, but real Madrid has more opportunities for reversal.
And Real Madrid has once again narrowed the distance between technology and strength and Manchester City through the background.
Although the background is mysterious and mysterious, but in fact, Manchester City's must-score goals have not been scored, and Real Madrid's goal efficiency is terrible compared to Manchester City.
What shapes these foundations is the veterans of Real Madrid, who once again proved that their "one-click three crowns" with Real Madrid are not a waste of time, even if Manchester City's strength is already much better than Real Madrid.
What's so bad about Real Madrid's defensive line?
When Real Madrid's backline gives City countless chances, there is certainly someone to blame.
However, it should also be noted that Real Madrid's main defensive player Casemiro came to the scene but did not play, he still has injuries, and Ancelotti did not risk using it.
And instead of Casemiro, Kroos is in a dilemma, the attack can not connect the team's midfield, the retreat can not effectively protect the Real Madrid defense, let Kroos play this position, some difficult for the German midfield, in the absence of midfield protection, the Real Madrid backline is isolated, Manchester City has the experience of "visiting the back garden" in the Real Madrid backfield.
The good news is that Casemiro is coming back in the next game, and the bad news is that City's most attacking full-back combination, Walker and Cancelo, will return in the second leg, and the threat to Real Madrid may not decrease but increase!
Benzema deserves the Ballon d'Or!
Even if Real Madrid is eliminated in the second leg, Liaoqiujun still wants to say: this season' club + national team, Benzema, who scored 46 goals in 48 appearances, deserves the Ballon d'Or!
Not long ago, Real Madrid's fiasco to Barca had some similarities with this game, except that Real Madrid, which owned Benzema, conceded 4 goals but also scored 3 goals, while Real Madrid, which did not have Benzema, was directly pressed to the ground by Barca and rubbed.
Written at the end: Real Madrid's extraordinary Champions League journey this season
Since the Champions League round of 16, Real Madrid has often been hammered, but because the opponent is not hammered thoroughly, it has not been hammered to death.
In the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe scored the only goal in the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain can be said to have an absolute advantage, but there is no way to score the second goal, and In the second leg Benzema directly sent Pochettino's team with a hat-trick.
In the quarter-finals against Chelsea, Benzema was proud at first, with a hat in the first leg, and Chelsea was only a little bit away from the turnaround in the second leg.
When it came to the top 4, Real Madrid still tried not to lose miserably to Manchester City, even the pro-Barca media, the editor-in-chief of each body helplessly said: everyone thought that Manchester City was going to ko real Madrid with one round, but Real Madrid once again escaped.
There is still a gap between the strength of Real Madrid and Manchester City, and it is still very difficult to reverse at home, but the good news is that no one from Real Madrid's "underpinnings" will want to give up the fight!
