It cost him, it cost the real Madrid win al Manchester Citybut more for your own mistakes in attack. He attacked a lot, more than in any other game, but also failed more than other times. He put himself twice with the score against Manchester City It is a flan when defending. Among a goalkeeper who doubts almost always and a defense that does not know very well what to play, the team of Guardiola He descended as he had never seen.
He was very close to letting him pass the real Madridbut in the end he changed the aim and will come to the meeting of the score next week and, above all, the sensations very in favor.
Without experiments, with Valverde On the right and the four above, the team of Ancelotti He left a very good image in attack, but showed again that he has problems in defense, although Asencio A higher party was marked, always fast to cut, risking and intimidating a Haaland who broke his bad form against the Spanish team.
It was the Norwegian who uneven the game thanks to a play in which the City He recovered his identity: a ball very well taken from behind, a defense, Gvardiolwhich happens as the best midfielder and reaches the area as the best arrival, and the auction of Haaland. He real Madrid He was doing it well until then, but he lacked what is not usually missing: aim.
It was not the expected party at this point in the Championsbecause both would have to be seen later, as has happened in recent years, but it was the usual game: exciting, fun, something crazy and with that pinch of mystery that usually puts the real Madrid. Last year, because he turned the clash into a defensive agony, a numantine resistance (although no one knows what that is), and this year the emotion was given his inability to turn his arrivals into a goal. Hurt to CityHe made him doubt, but he didn’t kill him.
The team of Guardiola He plays better when he doesn’t have to look back, but suffers a lot without the ball or transitions. However, it seemed to Madrid The opportunity was going to escape. As football is like that, the goal of the draw came at the darker shot of Mbappé. He made the jump and the turn to hit the ball, but he hit the pimp: a parable as strange as unexpected, which went to goal.
Ceballos and Camavinga They were the ones who held the team in the middle of the field, although, this time, the help of Rodrygo and Bellingham It was greater. However, it is complicated that the team is not unbalanced; It is impossible, we would say. To solve it, two things have to happen: that the above do not fail and that those in the middle are ordered. But neither Ceballos neither Camavinga They are. Valverde He gave them a hand from the right wing, which is small.
The point is that Ceballosthat the revolutions should lower, made an unnecessary penalty when the Madrid He took a break and threw himself back.
Haaland He did not hesitate and the matter became ugly for those of Ancelotti. Has it to risk and look for a draw or wait to not receive another goal? The damage was undoubtedly exaggerated for the match of both teams, but the result was there.
Ancelotti He took a Brahim already Modricand Guardiola could not remove Edersonthe goalkeeper who, so much to take short, has forgotten to get in long. BellinghamIn addition, I was fine to recover all the balls. Brahim made the second after a failed serve of Ederson And then, when the tie seemed the best for everyone, Bellingham took advantage that the defense of City is not at all at all this year ..
