Guardiola reunites with Madrid

it happened a strange party. It’s weird because City didn’t seem to want the ball. Strange because Bayern took the time to find the treasure that would undermine the iron British defense. Even though I don’t have a lot of iron in Munich. And the treasure that Coman and then Sané discovered was behind Aké, who lost control.

I was not in control because Bayern managed the pressure well and increased the aggression.. In the first match, especially in the first half, it was not a frightened, docile and submissive team. As soon as the turn begins, Tuchel has already signaled that this is another style. The German teacher also seemed to be playing the game. Not even 10 minutes and three tickets (De Ligt, Goretzka and Cancelo) to City as a sign that the scenario is very different. And it was.

Not too intimidated by Guardiola’s team, who lost not of his own free will but to possess. After the first act in Munich, the third and penultimate act of the draw, the computers decided: 57% ball possession to Bayern; 33% for the city. Also, Sané was the most dangerous piece at the auction, although nothing was certain.

And even Haaland, an almost perfect, perfect man whose relationship to the target was supernatural, almost unreal, displayed his most human side. It’s so hidden that it feels like you don’t have it. Well yes. Yes, mundane. No, this is not a machine. Nor an android. Gundogan’s off-field shot went over Upamecano’s imprudent arm, and Upamecano for some odd reason decided to shove him off his back. It was a penalty.

Perfect setting for Norwegians. It’s the right time for City to liquidate Bayern. But Haaland wanted too much to fit in. crossbar kick Of a surprised Sommer who has already clearly beaten his right. Helpless in the bench, Guardiola covered his face. With 10 minutes left before the break, the English team voided the penalty. Although Bayern conceded 3-0 in the first game, they felt the oxygen reaching them. Tuchel too. And meanwhile, Pep chewed on how to get his team back on track in the locker room because that was City. But it wasn’t his City. Or so his coach didn’t think.

‘Citizen’ development in the second half

He started something better in the second half. It wasn’t difficult either, as it came from not hitting the goal once. Not even on the missed penalty. And then, after Haaland’s previous mistake, still with the human cloak, the goal appeared and then it was 0-4 of the draw..

No goal City. A goal not in Guardiola’s catalogue. A goal resulting from a Bayern attack where Coman broke through the English defense and slammed into Ederson’s body and made a 0-1 entry. A 50-yard shot from the Stones allowed Haaland to demonstrate the importance of his signature.. He won the air battle first against De Ligt, a diminutive giant.

Then he started riding, waiting for his favorite partner, Kevin De Bruyne, to serve him the ball. And then the Norwegian imposed his stage fright and caused a disastrous slip from Upamecano – he was featured in all the photos of the Bayern disaster. Kimmich’s penalty kick was worthless and ended with the expulsion of Tuchel – to facilitate City’s goal that led to them once again facing Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
