Former football player and coach of Moscow “Spartak” Valery Gladilin talked about the exit of “Manchester City” from the Champions League semi-finals. In the quarterfinal’s return match with Bayern, Josep Guardiola’s wards drew 1-1 away and, taking into account the 3-0 victory in the first match, advanced to the next round. Gladilin noted that Guardiola has worked for Bayern for many years and knows the team and its players very well. The specialist also drew attention to the shape of Citizens forward Erling Haaland.
Bayern of course tried, they wanted to play decently – maybe they won’t even score three goals but they will win. But Guardiola, who had worked at Bayern for many years, knew all these structures and the result was natural. The city is in very good shape at the moment, the Netherlands are scoring goals, so this is one of the favorites of the tournament so far, ”said Gladilin socialbites.ca.
In the second game against Bayern, City opened the score in the 37th minute with a goal from Haaland. At the end of the match, the home team responded with a well-shot from the penalty spot by Joshua Kimmich. At the same time, the Netherlands did not notice the attempt to score a goal from 11 meters by going over the gate.
Manchester City will host Real Madrid in the semi-finals by eliminating Chelsea. The first leg will be played on 9 May in Madrid and the second leg will be played on 17 May in England.
