Seven goals in the world’s craziest match Champions (4-3) they leave open the draw between the two teams with heavy punch and paper defense. Guardiola Y ancelotti They could not hide their team’s defensive shortcomings and the match turned into a roller coaster that would turn the match at the Bernabéu into the final. Real Madrid jumped with eleven with three strikers who betrayed their desire to be a star in the game to bite a poorly defending, offensively designed Manchester City. But that was just an assumption, because in ten minutes Guardiola They described what happened ancelotti.

2 goals in 10 minutes

The first is in two minutes. mahrez drew a diagonal where no one was coming out and the winger made a pass to goal DeBruyne just entering from behind before his passivity Valverde Y karvajal. The first blow is already on the canvas. Eight minutes later, another game due to errors by the white defense led to the second. Military trapped and expanded, where it allowed De Bruyne to pass into the heart of the area. There was a domestic striker advantage. Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez, just on the defensive Praise Y Mendy. The Austrian defender scored when the ball hit the close post, but madridista was too soft and allowed the Brazilian to turn around and score the second goal. He touched it, it almost sank.

Guardiola He placed his players on the field better with high pressure on the defense and dynamism when the ball was at his feet. of these ancelotti they neither defended low nor stayed high. Ideal for City to play to get to the area quickly palace, who had too much on his back. He was too long on defense and too short on offense because there was no news from Madrid midfield. modric Y Kroos they were always marked so chose to come from outside. Rodrygo anyone vinicius. errors Ederson They became Madrid’s best offensive line.

To save Benzema

If Madrid were behind, City’s arrival created problems for them. If he came out to push up, they beat him with counters. foden He missed two big chances. Praise He managed to score a goal in a corner that the local defense got in front of. Both defended very badly and their chances increased in both areas. in half an hour Carletto With a 4-2-3-1 he decided to relocate his people. Valverde beside Kroos Y modric ‘fourth’. He placed the correction kit and in a long center Mendy appeared Benzema, already 40 goals this season, punishing local defensive weakness and reducing the disadvantage puts Madrid back in the game and draws. At the break, the whites had stopped the bleeding and had run 4.5 kilometers less. Slow and lazy.

The second part didn’t start out better with a gross mistake. Military just at a fork in the road mahrez in view palacefinished the post and the rejection finished by itself fodenhowever karvajal he pulled it out under the sticks. The white defense was still fair. Y Kroos can never play Casemiro, for speed, aggression and above all attitude. And the jug went back to the source… In a ball vinicius he didn’t fight a ball he saved Fernandinhoand finally focused on the small area where it seemed only to mark Foden. Defensive call and goal.

gift to Vinicius

But Madrid never gave up and went from one defensive mistake to the next. viniciusLeft playing a terrible game Fernandinho 50 meters from the area. The Brazilian started diagonally, but no central defender came to close him and the winger (18 goals and 15 assists already) was defeated. Ederson before the passivity of the defenders. They were two heavyweights who punched glass-jawed opponents. And while White’s still at 73, he fits another hook Bernard Silva unlocked palace for short bar in a game where the defense stopped thinking it was a foul beforehand, but the referee took the advantage and the Portuguese got smarter. Madrid was famous, but if the white defense was fair, City’s was a circus. And in a center to the region la porta a stupid penalty Benzema nailed to panenka. Paper defenses hit the scoreboards with inbounds and outbounds. But as Ancelotti predicted, “the draw will be determined at the Bernabéu”.
