Champions League champion Real Madrid and new giants Manchester City, the hegemons of La Liga and the Premier League respectively, have gradually become rivals over the years.

Because in the past ten years, the two sides have met five times in the Champions League, namely the 2016 semifinals, Real Madrid advanced 1:0 over two legs, the 2020 1/8 finals, Manchester City defeated the opponent 4:2 in both legs, the 2022 semifinals, Real Madrid advanced 6:5 in both legs, the 2023 semifinals, Manchester City won 5:1 over two legs, and in the 1/4 finals this year, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City on penalties, and Real Madrid won 3 times and lost 2 times in five meetings.

Many people think that in the first leg at the Bernabeu, Manchester City will win half of it, and this is indeed the case from the perspective of strength.

The number of shots on goal was 33 to 8, the shots on target were 9 to 3, and the possession rate was 67 percent to 33 percent.

Especially from corners, Manchester City were 18-1 ahead.

But the most crucial one, the goal was 1-1.

Watching the whole game, you can also feel the all-round pressing of Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side have a problem with slow heating, and Real Madrid took advantage of that, counterattacking frequently from the opening period, scoring in the 10th minute to beat Manchester City on an unstable foothold.

After that, it entered the half-time offensive and defensive drill mode, Real Madrid's 10 players almost all shrunk in the penalty area to defend, from the perspective of Real Madrid fans, except for the opening 10 minutes, the entire 110 minutes were spent in a state of fear, Manchester City launched a siege on Real Madrid, Real Madrid's goal was precarious, and he could score at any time, but Manchester City tried all tricks and couldn't send the damn ball into the goal.

But in the just-concluded Premier League, Manchester City defeated Luton 5-1 at home, and the points also surpassed Liverpool and Arsenal, which are the best teams in the top three of the Premier League, and the Champions League has been smooth, without any warning that Manchester City will stop in the Champions League quarterfinals.

But Manchester City just lost, so the live broadcast came with such a big headline: "The first favorite in the Champions League is out".

Therefore, Real Madrid's promotion can only be attributed to metaphysics, the heritage of 14 Champions League titles helped them survive the penalty shootout, and in the penalty shootout, the Real Madrid superstars who have unloaded all their psychological baggage are easy to play, on the other hand, Manchester City has many worries, the penalty shootout has not yet started, and the winner has been divided.

The reason for Manchester City's elimination, in addition to the inability to explain metaphysics, is a corner kick.

It's hard for you to understand that with 18 corner kicks in the whole game, and Haaland with 1.90m tall in the team, Manchester City didn't succeed in a single rush, I mean not a single one.

The reason why Manchester City signed Haaland is to use him as a siege hammer, because Guardiola's team pays attention to passing and control, and every time it has to face the dense iron bucket formation laid by the opponent, it is easy to fall into a dead end by ground transmission alone, so Guardiola has also made changes in recent years, ball control is no longer the only iron law, passing and passing is no longer the only football philosophy, and the critical moment can also be 45 degrees from the high ball bombing, the three-dimensional attack of the sea, land and air, so Haaland came into being.

However, it was clear that Haaland had not completed the task given to him by Manchester City, and in 18 corners, Haaland did not succeed in a single aerial duel Real Madrid's tactics won a big victory.

In fact, from last year to this year, several Champions League semi-finals and finals, Haaland's shortcomings were completely exposed, his header was not so good, the physical confrontation was average, the back was very poor, and the work under his feet was extremely rough.

But as long as there is a big black and hard defender close defense, Haaland will be wasted, in the case of physical contact, Haaland's heading ability is greatly reduced, and the ability to protect the ball with his back is comparable to that of Zhang Yuning, the center of the national football team, and in the case of the opponent's intensive defense, his unique skill - can not shoot after a few steps to catch the ball, so Haaland's habitual stealth in the strong dialogue can be understood.

In the two Champions League matchups that Manchester City lost to Real Madrid, Real Madrid only used one Rudiger to expose Haaland's shortcomings vividly, and after this season, Haaland's value is likely to shrink.

To sum up, Real Madrid is better than metaphysics, and Manchester City died from a corner. But I have to say that Real Madrid vs. Manchester City is the most exciting game in the Champions League in the past two years, the two sides can always play a big score, and the game process is exciting and ups and downs, but unfortunately the two sides met too early.

Mourning for the dead Manchester City team! Mbappe joins Real Madrid next season, and it may be more difficult for Manchester City to win against their opponents.
