Another reversal, after Paris and Chelsea, the new victim Manchester City is also showing up! Real Madrid is also once again a desperate situation to stage a good turnaround, in the first leg 3-4 behind, Ancelotti and Guardiola staged a head-on duel, and finally Ancelotti, the most famous witness to the "Miracle of Istanbul" in football, transferred this pain to Guardiola, lost in the Champions League for several years, Guardiola is afraid to cause such a controversy: whether it is the player who has completed or he has made the player?
Half-time battle
Real Madrid are the side behind, so back at home they must show a positive side, this can be seen from their starting point, the last game was still delusional to break Manchester City 4-3-3 they were already in the away game, so this game Ancelotti did enough in the midfield, Rodrigo had to be "devolved", and it was 4 midfielders who played, and even in the opening 4-2-3-1 Vinicius also needed to complete the return defense, so the first thing Real Madrid had to do was to base itself on defense.
However, in the first half, Manchester City were the more dominant side, and the reason was the return of their two engines - Kelvar Walker and Cancelo. In the case of the last Zinchenko explosion, Kyle Walker can be said to have made Vinicius very embarrassed, with both speed and body, he made Vinicius unable to easily complete the breakthrough, while The other side Ofcello contributed 81 highest passes, 68 accurate passes and 5 highest interceptions in the game, under the construction of Guardiola, he is already the best synonym for the side of the back.
Guardiola too conservative?
In the case of dominance, Manchester City finally scored 1 goal at half to make the aggregate score 5-3, and Pep Guardiola, who had a 2-goal advantage, actually made a rare compromise for the result! Zinchenko replaced Kelwalker, who was consumed by Vinicius, gundogan for De Bruyne, and finally even replaced Fernandinho, it can be said that Guardiola has shown that he wants to keep the victory.
At the same time, let's take a look at how Ancelotti did, Rodrigo, Asensio, Ceballos and other offensive players are all playing, maybe you will say that it is not reasonable to send offensive players after falling behind? But you have to know that this is absolutely unusual for Ancelotti! Even such a stubborn coach can make concessions, it seems that real Madrid's unity is very easy to understand, Mendy made a key goal line to break the line, Rodrigo scored twice, Benzema finally killed Manchester City on a penalty, and Real Madrid was reborn.
The hero behind Real Madrid
Entering extra time can also create points, you must not think that today's Benzema is 34 years old, and Valverde, Carvajal, Mendy these players have been insisting until the end, it is foreseeable that the physical state of this Real Madrid has been in the best condition, and all this has to be attributed to Real Madrid's physical coach Pintus, who has returned to Real Madrid this season and his Italian hometown Ancelotti together make Real Madrid a team that cannot be provoked in the second half. After the game, Modric also embraced the coach who paid silently behind his back for the first time.
