In the Champions League semi-finals, City once again fell short, collapsing an avalanche just one step away from the final. Similar to last season's final loss to Chelsea, City lost the game in a better situation, except this time in the semi-finals. In the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester City narrowly defeated Real Madrid 4-3 in the first leg, and in the second leg, Manchester City continued to occupy the advantage, creating excellent opportunities many times, breaking the deadlock in the 72nd minute of the game, Gundogan assisted Mahrez to score, and Manchester City led 1-0 away.
In the 86th minute of the game, Manchester City had the opportunity to completely kill the suspense of the game, Glallish in front of the goal to see the eye, helplessly by Mendy in the goal line; then in the 89th minute, the 90th minute, the 94th minute conceded three goals in a row, Rodrigo scored twice, Benzema passed the success, so from 0-1 to 1-3 Avalanche directly with a total score of 5-6, once again became the background of the Champions League miracle night.
In the two-legged match, it seemed that Manchester City had bad luck and lost a good situation. In both games, Manchester City's possession rate reached about 60%, the scene is pressed real Madrid, the attack is also the same, the two games completed 31 shots, the first leg 16 feet, the second leg 15 feet, shooting to 16 goals, the first leg 6 feet shot to score 4 goals, the second leg 10 feet shot only 1 goal. Real Madrid scored six goals on aggregate over two legs, just enough to prove the shooting gap between the two teams.
In summary, Manchester City's loss is not bad luck, but the inevitable result of the overall squad flaw, this out tragedy has become the norm for Guardiola, he is stubborn like Mourinho, seems to go to the same coaching extreme as Mourinho, Mourinho has a special love for defensive counterattack tactics, and at the same time manages players very toughly, full of personality, these qualities even in the case of his repeated dismissal, still have not changed.
Guardiola's stubbornness lies in always believing in his own passing style of play, and even in the case of the Champions League last season because of the "no front", he still said that he could win without a center, and introduced the all-round attacker Glaris, with a transfer fee of about 120 million euros, and Gralis became the team's standard king. Now, Guardiola has spent 120 million yuan in vain, driving backwards in the case of a strong squad, the Champions League semi-final is out, and the Premier League is afraid of being counterattacked by Liverpool due to low morale.
In the Champions League, Guardiola and Mourinho performed almost the same in the Champions League semi-finals, both of them fell in the Champions League semi-finals 6 times, tied for the most history after the Champions League restructuring. For the operation of Guardiola, England football star Paul Merson also commented, saying that last summer window made Manchester City spend 120 million euros of the standard king Grarush useless, he did not play a role in Manchester City, because his way of playing can not adapt to Manchester City's passing system, that is to say, Manchester City introduced players who do not match their own style, Glarish needs the ball, can not integrate into Manchester City's passing system. Finally, Merson thinks City should purge Glalish this summer and consider selling him.
The data also proves that Glalish and Manchester City are indeed not very compatible, this season 36 games, wearing the number 10 shirt Of Glalis only 5 goals and 3 assists, far from the expected performance, if replaced by Kane or other top centre-forwards, Manchester City may not fall into the current situation. Hopefully, Guardiola will wake up this summer and make up for a super shooter!
