Not at all. spoils to the winners!. Just watch the game again and see how many times Stones passes were sent straight out whereas he was supposed to start the counter attacks in the second half. Now coz City won some people like to exaggerate about this one or that one!.
@Daniel Osdinia stop lying dude. Stones perfectly did his job well. Even other former players such as Henry, Owen, Neville, Carragher etc commended him for a fantastic performance.
Nothing went wrong, Pep just happened with his mad tactical genius. He Set up the team in a way that totally suffocated Madrid, after the 1st leg he said there's one or 2 tactical tweaks he'll do, and he did exactly that, the team was exactly the same as the one in Madrid, but just played a bit different, pressed higher with more intensity, let's be honest, Pep really is a genius, there's no point debating against it at this point.
@@andrekowynter7455 Yeah but this is the CL we're talking about, they're a different beast in that competition and now everyone is saying the same thing "I've never seen Real Madrid dominated and totally outplayed so badly in the CL"
Real Madrid usually play with a confidence that always creates opportunities, so even when the stats look bad, they never panic, and they can still win. But they were rattled today. They couldn't land a single pass in that first half without being swarmed, and they didn't have an answer. That's more about how good City was though, rather than Real being bad.
@@frsrs9189 the best coach with the best team tailored to his need and full of wonderful talent. the only team that could compete with this city are pep barca and hansi flick bayern
Coutois is a great keeper first of all. The reason they won last year. Not benzema or vini jr. Second- Madrid should have started with rudiger as cb and alaba at left back. And allowed carvajal to go a bit up the pitch and play 3 cb or even a defensive system with 4 defenders as per the need of game. Rudiger performance last match was very good and he should have started. Other than this one tactical error, there is nothing much done by RM, and city are just a better team.
Carvajal going up the pitch would have ended the game much sooner for city. Alaba definitely wouldn't have been able to stop Silva; he hasn't got the pace anymore nor is he physically strong to force himself on Silva like camavinga did. The truth is, there is nothing that could have been done that would have prevented city from winning. The solutions you proposed at least attempt to fix the defensive shortcomings, but Madrid were inferior all over with the exception of the goal keeper.
Agreed Rudiger should have started. I don't think it would have changed much, but he brought passion and energy in the last match which would have helped the team's confidence when they were suffering. That was missing this time.
Real madrid played 4 4 2 for 1-1 score line.This time Real Madrid played very defensive and too concerned with 5 attackers instead read madrid if they had same tactics as before 4 4 2 they would have had a fair chance but the tactics now were weird didnt understand why Real Madrid became so defensive and screwed the formation its not what real madrid are they attack but seesh .
Easy: Playing Kroos as a CDM, which made Ancelotti lose his job the first time and also led to the 4-3 last season. The man has a Casemlro replacement on the bench, but refuses to use him. Mendy is healthy, but he still forced Cama into a LB position. The old age of Kroos, Benz, Modric doesn't help either. City despite having more of the ball ran almost 6 km more - to put that into perspective, that equals the running of 1 extra player. You can't get away with that laziness at this level.
Ancelloti didn't learn. Any wise coach would have seen. I think he should be sacked. RM has exceptional young players. But they choose ancestors to keep playing. RM sold. Odegaard, Antonio Blanco, Achraf Hakimi. Chose to keep relegated. Arribas, Rodriguez, Miguel Guitterez.... All just to keep playing the same set of people for 10yrs?. At some stage very real reality dons on you. A midfield of Camavingha, Blanco and Valverde. Defense of Guitterez, Rudiger, Militao and even Carvajhal. That would have been a good match to watch.
Madrid had a pretty unbelievable degree of luck last season, lets be real. Especially against Chelsea and City. Timely goals and timely saves earned them the UCL, they didnt outplay any of Chelsea, City, Liverpool
I have always maintained that but la liga fans acted like ”they dominated the english teams”. It was bizarre how they have changed history to for their narrative all season
@@gamehardy you fool its doesn't change the Fact Spanish teams are the best in UCL history clown,spanish teams will be back next season clown,Only your City performing in primier league🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Exactly. They even have a replacement on the bench, but he refuses to use him. Madrid ran 10 km less than City despite having less of the ball - that means 1 entire player worth of running. Insane.
They weren't the best over the past 3 or 4 years , but prior they were the best without a doubt, so chill the f out and have some respect they did win the champions league last season even though they weren't the best, it's called experience
Ali talks about the RM win over Braca in the Copa Dey Ray. What Ali is missing is the injuries to Barca at that time. No Dembele, no Pedre, no Christianson and no De Jong. Would have RM who where at full strength at that time beat a healthy Barcelona….ask yourself.
@sinestro9555 if I can remember city lost to united during that time and united was the most inform team during said period of time barca losing to united with 4 of their starters out. So yeah you make alot of sense with this comment
The thing about that 4-0 against Barcelona is that he isn’t mentioning is that most of the squad was injured for Barcelona. No Pedri, No De Jong, no Dembele, no Christensen, and I think Busquet was also out I might be wrong on that last one. So it’s not that Madrid we’re really good that game it’s that Barcelona didn’t have their main players on the field
THEY WERE NEVER AS GOOD AS CITY, Media wants to act like the two teams are close when City literally threw the tie away last year after having been the FAR better team, they are only acting like Madrid are half decent compared to them just becasue they managed to win the tie last season out of LUCK
Ale Moreno broke it down, and said it perfectly. Manchester City with it's immense talent and hunger to win, just exposed Real Madrid. Ale Moreno is the best analyst of this panel. 👌
@@jaggerg6744 And others in the panel love Liverpool, and hate Man City. Everyone has biases. However, Moreno's analysis of RM's failure is still on point. No one provided a counter-argument for a reason. As long as I've been watching this program, Moreno seems right on point almost all of the time.
This season Pep exposed the weakness of Real Madrid last season they won UCL due to individual brilliance but this season they have been woeful both individually and team effort plus next season is going to be tough for them as players like Benzema Carvajal Kroos Modric are getting too old and can't play high level football for many years
As a Barca fan , nothing went wrong with madrid . Thats just how they are , you just need to bury your chances when you dominate them and they wont come back but most teams seem to just be scared , not incapable but scared
They just get exposed because more often than not; individuals bail them out like Vini and benzema. In todays case. They didn’t show up. Last season they did and they scored 3 and made the scoreline pleasant (4-3) but those players didn’t step up tonight. .
One advantage Real Madrid had last season with their comebacks was that the played the 2nd leg always at home. Defeating city on their home turf proved too much for them
And also Casemiro playing kept them more balanced + Modric and Benzema were stepping up and creating magic basically every game but this season their age is starting to show
@@Hrishiqx if you call barca liverpool chelsea big games you're too kind They are all facing a similar problem like us Barca and Liverpool don't have players and Chelsea don't know ball We unfortunately don't know both 😢
Agree with Ale, the game called for an extra man in the midfield, should have set up the team with a 4-4-2 and then transitioned into a 4-3-3 in the final thirds if the game was still in the balance. Anyway, proud of this team, they've been not a great team since Carlo's appointment, there's been an inconsistency with Madrid this season, they've looked average against even smaller La Liga teams, but to have won 1 CL, 1 CDR, 1 Liga, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup, basically won all the titles in 2 years, you gotta be proud of this team and Carlo.
May be an unpopular opinion, but there is a difference between a manager focused on short-term success and the one who prioritizes long-term development and establishes sustainable standards for the team. Ancelotti, not a master tactician, relies on his exceptional players to individually influence the game, whereas Pep always approaches matches with a well-thought-out strategy. While I respect the quality of players at Real Madrid , I believe that the club should consider hiring a master tactician who can anticipate future challenges and implement long-term plans.
@@pobo6689 hes just being injured. City was lucky this Madrid was not tactically correct for the rest of the match. They were pressing since minute one with shaky defending
@@boboiboy9350 All Madrid are is individual brilliance. That's what gets them through those tough games. But when a team is so well drilled in every department, Madrid can't do anything.
This was a good lesson for Madrid and their fans They were basically thinking history gives you the right to get to a final and win everything. But City were there to show you that even if this is Madrids competition, you have to earn the right to get to a final. Madrid we’re HUMBLED 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Lol HATER! Madrid were clearly second best tonight but that does not mean Madrid shouldn’t expect to expand on their history and win more titles. We were clearly beaten I admit. But it’s also impossible to win every season. We’ll be back stronger.
@@sean2012able I do believe you will be back stronger, but so many of your fans were spamming "14 UCLs" in comments sections before the match. Even though you have 14 UCLs and we have zero, and even though you beat us last year when it seemed impossible, none of that will ever help you on the day of the match. That's why he said you were humbled.
Liverpool was the better side in last year final. Liverpool have had 9 shots on target all saved by the great goalkeeper real Madrid had two shots on target and they still won Madrid never been the better side but they have the best luck
Honestly, I don't get the hype around this Madrid side. Last year, they pulled miracles in every pl and PSG matches. They can't keep doing it. They aren't a good side. Their only tactic is to get vinicius behind the backline, and when that fails they look clueless. Grealish and silva were toying with their fullbacks. They were too focused on haaland that they forgot about others. And to drop rudiger 😂😂 master stroke
As a Real Madrid fan, I'd say it would be a crime for this Man City team not to win the treble, they're good at every aspect of the game and they have the depth to pull it off. As for RM, I think it's high time we thank Ancelotti, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, and Carvajal for all what they did for the team but it's time for new blood, I really wish they would bring in De Zerbi.
We need to bring back all our good loan players best example Brahim diaz fran Garcia is coming and Davies should come in camavinga should play as a CDM he is no Casemiro but he can be good
Recently Real Madrid played for the first time with no Spanish players. This is going to be the norm going forward; more Bellingham and Mbappe. Real Madid is empty; Real Madrid has no soul.
@@mlsarchitect Real Madrid is a global phenomenon that goes far beyond the borders of a single country, and many international players gave it all everytime they stepped on the pitch just to see the club fly high in the international events, so stop this regional rhetoric as it fits smaller clubs like Athletic Bilbao not the mighty Los Blancos.
All week Madrid fanboys were telling us how they won 14 CLs, that they are so dangerous in the CL because of the culture of the team and the pedigree. What happened today?
Also inter win Barca at Italy simply because of the VAR flaws. Referee said he thought it is ansu’s handball, so he did not want to watch the reply. And the same referee rule out Pedri’s goal. Tolerate Inter and Man Utd use vicious fouls against Barca. UEFA is simply against Barca. That is more than clear
@@myztroogeegibson3568 what of chelsea? We are talking about this year, why are you still in 2009? And, have you watched both legs of the 2009 games before talking? Or are you here just from shorts and reels? Both side were not affected from ref, but since chelsea is an English team the outrage was bigger.
They also had defensive injuries in those inter games and yes Inter rode their luck in the first game in San Siro with VAR, but inter still were by far the better side in the second game in camp Nou tbh
As a fellow Liverpool fan, you do not speak for us. City winning the champions league is a travesty for all of football. I at least respect Madrid based on their history.
The pressure from man city and it’s fans is a whole other monster to deal with. As a Real Madrid fan I knew our only chance to do something was the first leg and we didn’t.
Nothing went "wrong" for Real madrid ... The level of tactical knowledge that Carlo could impart on to the team showed it's true color. That just tells you how much of talent Real Madrid has ... last time they won purely based on individual brilliance and luck. The manager was there for namesake
Aside from the score. Did anyone notice Madrid have to foul several times to get a booking where as City 1 foul and direct booking. I will never understand this lofi logic.
John Stones is he a defender or a midfielder? Boy!, he was all over the place in a good way😅. Let's forget the talk of Bernado going to Barca, the lad is enjoying his time at city. City was a better team by miles, today history could not save Madrid. My biggest fear is that if City win UCL this season and Guardiola stays, they can dominate this competition in the years to come.
Frank is right. Real madrid winning UCL in last season was pure luck (and hey, congratulations). But at some point, it was gonna catch up to them. You have to remember Chelsea and Liverpool have been worse this season than they were last season but city have improved and this showed. You can't win the UCL just because of "it's history"or "it's in their DNA"
Man I'm not a Madrid fan but we can't act like Madrid haven't dominated the competition for the last couple of years and in many of it they were the deserving winners. City were amazing last night but it won't surprise me if Madrid wins again in the next few seasons. Congrats to city. Now as a United fan I'm gonna go cry in a corner and hope city don't win it lol.
I'm a Barcelona fan but 3 times In a row isn't luck and mind you they came back against Epls top 3 or 4. Madrid just needs this coming transfer season and they'll be fine unlike my team they have the funds.
Alaba- Militao- Rudiger-Carvajal Tchoumeni, Camavinga, Kroos Valverde- Benzema- Vini this should of been the line up with more pressing and cutting city lines.
@@paraboy3521 you sure? Let see next season.. im not talking abt last season tht man city lost to us..this Real Madrid bro not some epl club tht u can beat them again..
@@paraboy3521 I doubt it because this team lacked pace and kroos and modric were to slow Camavinga tchoumeni would open up more space and close city dominance in the middle half.
Well Madrid can’t win every year even if they make UCL their priority, today they were just not up to the challenge, City was better in every aspect, Madrid came to the game unprepared, over confident that they will some how find a way out like they usually do and they underestimated City and their hunger to win this tie. Doesn’t matter what happens in Madrid next, no matter who they keep or sign, they’ll be back winning the UCL very soon
Donorruma and marquihnos made huge mistakes against Madrid, in the final Madrid got dominated by Liverpool but cortoius kept them alive. Madrid got lucky alot last season idk why people were pretending it was gonna happen again
That's on Donnarumma and Marqinhos for making those mistakes. It was Mendy's fault for making that mistake in the quarterfinal. It was our fault for gifting them two goals in stoppage time. It was Liverpool's fault that they couldn't score to save their lives.
@@manindersdopseb Dude, you should learn how to spell and pronounce someones names correctly. It's a sign of respect. I don't know if you're trying to be funny or not but grammar doesn't have three m's in it. Also there's no proof that Tchouaméni is going on loan next season. All there is, is a couple of rumors.
Courtois, Alaba and even Milatāo got their A Game, they’d just overwhelmed by the relentless attack of MCI. IMO they should have opted aCDM rather than keeping Valverde in there. Rüdi and Militāo as CB, Alaba Lb, Camavinga as CDM and Valverde in Bench.
When I look back the champions league now I wish the Liverpool vs Real match should've been in Liverpool's favour, that period liverpool's defense were all over the place. This form which liverpool are showing now if only it started a little earlier then city could've been in trouble. The only team when in form which gives trouble to city was always klopp's Liverpool.
SO YOU THINK LIVERPOOL COULD GIVE CITY TROUBLE, WE WON 4 PREMIER LEAGUE AND THE FIFTH IS COMING THIS SUNDAY IN 6 SEASON. SO YOU MEAN 6 SEASON LIVERPOOL WE'RE NOT INFORM OR CITY IS TOO GOOD. IN CHAMPION LEAGUE CITY WERE UNLUCKY IN 6 SEASON BUT FOR YOU TO MENTION LIVERPOOL HERE IT SHOWS YOU ARE JUST HATER OF CITY. KLOP NEVER DEFEATED CITY IN PREMIER LEAGUE IN ETTIHAD STADIUM SO WHAT EXCUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE FOR THAT. LIVERPOOL ARE TOUGH OPPONENT FOR CITY I AGREE BUT DON'T TRY TO DISRESPECT CITY PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR
I think an injury free Bayern (without Citys best player Upamecano) and without firing Nagelsmann a week before the game would've been able to really challenge City, more than an in form Liverpool team
We will come back stronger next season! Perez need to spend big in the summer. All this years without spending big has caught up to us We need RB LB a midfield rightwing and backup for Benzema
Look, I'm not talking about what they have achieved in the past we talking about the current and how poor they are and of course people like you who are clouded by past and still believed they would get anything against the team on form like Manchester City. And everyone in their right minds saw that, it was indeed a miracle that they won UCL last year, only you of course would not agree. But honestly they were poor, but fluked their way to the end
@@theolekhotla1509 They were lucky to have an in form Modric and Benzema to step up at the right moments to do some magic (Vini and Courtois didn't hurt either)
No Casemiro and no Mendy at left back. Modric giving away the ball. Benzema doing absolutely nothing over the two legs. Madrid just needs few replacements and they will be back
If yesterday proved anything, it is that grinding out results is not sustainable; eventually the results start catching up with you. It happened with united last season, it happened with Liverpool for most of this season, and now it's happening with Madrid.
I just love how humble Madrid fans are right now,I just love it. Never underestimate your opponent, however big you are,do not underestimate your opponent.
@@animalkingdom867 From what i have seen its the city fans who have been coming out with the insults, and looking at our past we had a good reason to be confident in our team.
In the first leg ,When I saw madrid playing with the whole team in their half ,deep in front of their goal ,I knew madrid was intimidated . Then they did the same thing in the first half of this match .
Pls, do not concort any excusse for RM; City was just superior in ALL departments of football to RM. RM and some of the "big names" in the game right now just existing in their past "glories" period.
What happened to Benzema? Children trying to put him above Lewy and Suarez because of the anomaly of a run he had last year. What you saw from him today and last game is what his career has been. Prior to last year he never scored more than 6 goals in the CL.
He scored 7 one year. On average he'll play 11 games a season and score 6 or 5 goals. Luis Suárez played 6 season in champion league with Barcelona two of which he scored 1 and another being 3 . His highest being 8,5 and seven. Only Messi and Ronaldo have done better in the modern game
You can't compare Suarez and benzema, Suarez would play for an average Liverpool and ajay and make them unstoppable while benzema lives in Real Madrid bubble.
It didn't make sense interms of camavinga not playing through the middle protecting that back 4 being played out of position. Mendy should of started the game. Carlo Anceiloty got it completely wrong

They’ve got too comfortable. Most of these players have had more than one CLs, say 5…? They don’t have that heart and hunger to win it compared to City who basically lost it to them last season. It was revenge, hunger, to prove a point, dedication, and desire for City.
Exactly. Tactically Ancelotti set them up to fail with Kroos as a CDM, which also got him fired last time. However City ran close to 124 km, whilst Real ran 114 km, despite City having more of the ball. This equates to City essentially having one extra, hard working player on the pitch. Ancelotti has to take the blame here.
Moreno spots on ... Man City v Ref Madrid 4-0 SF 2023 is even better than Barca v Man Utd final 2011. In terms of ... • the quality of the victorious team • the quality of the opponents • the level of how Man City play City didn't allow Ref Madrid to make 3 passes. So humilating! I also Nedum spots on too. I did see what the stats said that in the first 15 minutes, while City had +100 passes, Ref Madrid's total passes was just 11 (not 13)! - just like the number of their player on the field. Remember those Madrid fan boys who were sure their team was through, please WAKE UP! It's about how your play on the pitch instead of just having a wet dream of past history. 🤣 Madrid is NOT worth it - just relying on counter attack & Curtois' luck. All I can say is ... Hala, City! 🤣🤣 And as I said since the 2021 final, 🏴 clubs are ruling Europe! ✨😄💫☁🌟🔥
You smoking something right?😂 Quality of the Victors?seriously? That 2011 team played all their matches with the sure in everyone’s mind(both fans and players) that they’re going to win..what of yesterday’s match?,many people thought Madrid gonna have a comeback.but that Barca 2011 team has the certainty of winning against everyone and anyone 😂.
And let me add,this Mancith side had to do some tweakings for them to adapt and play well(e.g playing stones as a Middelfielder just to be on the safest side)not to commit to much players to the attack..but that Barca,played with the natural 433 with fullbacks going for overlaps and only two CBs not fearing anything.even Guardiolla knws that,that 2011 team was the best (though it is still a debate whether the 2009 squad or 2015 were better)..but for sure that Alves,Mascherano,Pique,Abidal,Busqoute,Xavi,Iniesta,Messi,Pedro and Villa team was undoubtedly the best squad in terms of dominance,beautiful football and trophies to ever play the game
Age age AGE, the tempo was very high for the Madrid legends, well played City 👏🙌👏 Real Madrid has to finally realize that EVERY LEGEND IS REPLACABLE. REPLACE them before any further embarrassment, it will not get any easy with time, and the game will not get any slower in order to accommodate old age, money is waiting for them in the Asian leagues and the MLS. Winners know when to stop, it is time give opportunities to growing talents. Hala Madrid.
@@hsafootballworld1321 Exactly City in the first 25 minutes of 1st leg could've easily,I repeat easily,been 3-0 up they just didn't take chances. Only had themselves to blame
Theres a lot of factors 1. Mendy missing and playing Cama as a LB backfired 2. Valverde is better of as a RW slash hybrid CAM i.e Carlo needed to drop Rodrygo for Tchoumeni instead and play that system that worked for them last season 3. Miltiao for Rudiger? 4. Man City hybrid formation confuses everyone
Real’s midfield is simply too old. Maybe 5 years ago you could start Modric and Kroos and compete, not now. It’s hard to play when you don’t have the legs to press and to keep the ball. The forwards are totally out of the game because the Madrid midfield is non-existent.
Madrid always got lucky in some matches in champion's league, they are not the glorious team they used to be back in Ronaldo's era, that 1-0 in last year final for example, super lucky...now this...this was a scoreline without any luck involved and look how they got thrashed by both city and Barca this season
I'm a Chelsea fan but Frank Lebouef speaks nonsense that Real beat the top three clubs in Europe just by chance!!. Chance in football is a rubbish claim for losers!.
I think that title is harsh on Real Madrid. There was nothing they could have done in that game. City will easily do that to any team in the world. Every team looks like a championship side next to them.
He could have put on some legs in that midfield. Last time Ancelotti got sacked, he played Kroos as a CDM. Today City ran 124 km to Madrid's 114 km - that means City covered nearly one hardworking player's worth of grass more than Madrid. Ancelotti has to take the blame for that abysmal performance.
Tchouameni must step up as CDM along with Camavinga which is their natural position. then Bellingham needs another backup along with Valverde once kroos and modric leaves in summer 2024 which is A MUST.
We have to accept that this City team is up there with the greatest teams of all time. They’ve had a tendency to bottle it in the big moments, but on their day there’s very few teams ever that could match them
@@shoryu87 10 years is an overstatement and either way I literally said that they have a tendency to choke, but what other teams could handle Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with this much ease?

Easy: Playing Kroos as a CDM, which made Ancelotti lose his job the first time and also led to the 4-3 last season. The man has a Casemlro replacement on the bench, but refuses to use him. Mendy is healthy, but he still forced Cama into a LB position. The old age of Kroos, Benz, Modric doesn't help either. City despite having more of the ball ran almost 6 km more - to put that into perspective, that equals the running of 1 extra player. You can't get away with that laziness at this level.

I have always maintained that but la liga fans acted like ”they dominated the english teams”. It was bizarre how they have changed history to for their narrative all season
Bro, last year they were outplayed by PSG also...
Last year It was a frigging MIRACLE, specially against City.
Chelsea was gonna knock them out if it wasn't for that Curtois save
@@gamehardy you fool its doesn't change the Fact Spanish teams are the best in UCL history clown,spanish teams will be back next season clown,Only your City performing in primier league🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Losing Casemiro is haunting Madrid. Kroos cannot play in that position.
True
Exactly. They even have a replacement on the bench, but he refuses to use him. Madrid ran 10 km less than City despite having less of the ball - that means 1 entire player worth of running. Insane.

As a Liverpool fan who has been unlucky facing RM, I was very happy to see Man City humble them for once 😂😂😂😂
Ali talks about the RM win over Braca in the Copa Dey Ray. What Ali is missing is the injuries to Barca at that time. No Dembele, no Pedre, no Christianson and no De Jong. Would have RM who where at full strength at that time beat a healthy Barcelona….ask yourself.
Yes
Barcelona still garbage losing to Manchester United 😂😂
Barca early this season with full squad got beaten 3-1.
@sinestro9555 if I can remember city lost to united during that time and united was the most inform team during said period of time barca losing to united with 4 of their starters out. So yeah you make alot of sense with this comment
@Leslie Assira Christenssen and Arauno were injured. When Barcelona actually had their full squad, they beat Madrid 3-1
Even after letting in 4 goals , Courtois was a beast of a player who kept papering over the mistakes made by midfield and defense
The thing about that 4-0 against Barcelona is that he isn’t mentioning is that most of the squad was injured for Barcelona. No Pedri, No De Jong, no Dembele, no Christensen, and I think Busquet was also out I might be wrong on that last one. So it’s not that Madrid we’re really good that game it’s that Barcelona didn’t have their main players on the field

As a Barca fan , nothing went wrong with madrid . Thats just how they are , you just need to bury your chances when you dominate them and they wont come back but most teams seem to just be scared , not incapable but scared
They just get exposed because more often than not; individuals bail them out like Vini and benzema. In todays case. They didn’t show up.
Last season they did and they scored 3 and made the scoreline pleasant (4-3) but those players didn’t step up tonight. .
That is the best take in the comment section. @Andza Gatsheni.
Yeah you cannot back off after scoring goals you have to bury them.
One advantage Real Madrid had last season with their comebacks was that the played the 2nd leg always at home. Defeating city on their home turf proved too much for them
And also Casemiro playing kept them more balanced + Modric and Benzema were stepping up and creating magic basically every game but this season their age is starting to show
I'm a Madrid fan but this season I always felt we were so lucky to be wining big matches. I am always surprised

@@devrishi66 Things would definitely have been different if Luis Diaz Ibrahima Konate and Thiago was available to play for Liverpool at Anfield
Agree with Ale, the game called for an extra man in the midfield, should have set up the team with a 4-4-2 and then transitioned into a 4-3-3 in the final thirds if the game was still in the balance. Anyway, proud of this team, they've been not a great team since Carlo's appointment, there's been an inconsistency with Madrid this season, they've looked average against even smaller La Liga teams, but to have won 1 CL, 1 CDR, 1 Liga, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup, basically won all the titles in 2 years, you gotta be proud of this team and Carlo.
May be an unpopular opinion, but there is a difference between a manager focused on short-term success and the one who prioritizes long-term development and establishes sustainable standards for the team. Ancelotti, not a master tactician, relies on his exceptional players to individually influence the game, whereas Pep always approaches matches with a well-thought-out strategy. While I respect the quality of players at Real Madrid , I believe that the club should consider hiring a master tactician who can anticipate future challenges and implement long-term plans.

Honestly, I don't get the hype around this Madrid side. Last year, they pulled miracles in every pl and PSG matches. They can't keep doing it. They aren't a good side. Their only tactic is to get vinicius behind the backline, and when that fails they look clueless. Grealish and silva were toying with their fullbacks. They were too focused on haaland that they forgot about others. And to drop rudiger 😂😂 master stroke
As a Real Madrid fan, I'd say it would be a crime for this Man City team not to win the treble, they're good at every aspect of the game and they have the depth to pull it off.
As for RM, I think it's high time we thank Ancelotti, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, and Carvajal for all what they did for the team but it's time for new blood, I really wish they would bring in De Zerbi.
We need to bring back all our good loan players best example Brahim diaz fran Garcia is coming and Davies should come in camavinga should play as a CDM he is no Casemiro but he can be good

Exactly. Tactically Ancelotti set them up to fail with Kroos as a CDM, which also got him fired last time.

REPLACE them before any further embarrassment, it will not get any easy with time, and the game will not get any slower in order to accommodate old age, money is waiting for them in the Asian leagues and the MLS.
Winners know when to stop, it is time give opportunities to growing talents. Hala Madrid.
Why didn’t Ancelotti run the same lineup as leg one? I can’t understand why Rutiger wasn’t in the Neanderthal’s shorts from kickoff. Makes no sense.
well he came on and they conceded two more goals!
😂 that's the Haaland effect, he was overthinking too much
Pep give Ancelotti good attraktiv attacking modern football lesson.
Vamos Pep 👏👏👏
What they missed was something called casemiro
No, Casemiro was there last year too.
If City had taken their chances in the 1st leg last season, then Madrid would have lost 6-3 in the 1st leg.
@@hsafootballworld1321 Exactly City in the first 25 minutes of 1st leg could've easily,I repeat easily,been 3-0 up they just didn't take chances. Only had themselves to blame
Now, the guys start calling for an excuse maybe try are missing Zidane, not Raul or maybe Cristiano
Great win for Man City 🔥🔥🔥
Theres a lot of factors
1. Mendy missing and playing Cama as a LB backfired
2. Valverde is better of as a RW slash hybrid CAM i.e Carlo needed to drop Rodrygo for Tchoumeni instead and play that system that worked for them last season
3. Miltiao for Rudiger?
4. Man City hybrid formation confuses everyone
3; definitely 😊
I was quite sure Militao scored own goal I saw every time score own goal laliga game 😂😂😂
The same folks bragging about cama being a beast. You guys are confused.
wait , I thought you guys said cama is the best lb even as a make shift lb 😂
3-5-1-1
militiao Rudiger Alaba
Kroos Tchouameni
Valverde modric camavinga
Vini(free role) Benzema
Real’s midfield is simply too old. Maybe 5 years ago you could start Modric and Kroos and compete, not now. It’s hard to play when you don’t have the legs to press and to keep the ball. The forwards are totally out of the game because the Madrid midfield is non-existent.
Time to reload!
Madrid always got lucky in some matches in champion's league, they are not the glorious team they used to be back in Ronaldo's era, that 1-0 in last year final for example, super lucky...now this...this was a scoreline without any luck involved and look how they got thrashed by both city and Barca this season
The real question is why does Benzima heal so slow. That hand has been jacked up for quite some time.
ESPN FC humbled 🙏🏼
How?? Every single one of them predicted Man City would win.
I'm a Chelsea fan but Frank Lebouef speaks nonsense that Real beat the top three clubs in Europe just by chance!!. Chance in football is a rubbish claim for losers!.
I think that title is harsh on Real Madrid. There was nothing they could have done in that game. City will easily do that to any team in the world. Every team looks like a championship side next to them.
Stop.
He could have put on some legs in that midfield. Last time Ancelotti got sacked, he played Kroos as a CDM. Today City ran 124 km to Madrid's 114 km - that means City covered nearly one hardworking player's worth of grass more than Madrid. Ancelotti has to take the blame for that abysmal performance.
@@garyanderton Kroos is trash. His place is on the bench
Tchouameni must step up as CDM along with Camavinga which is their natural position. then Bellingham needs another backup along with Valverde once kroos and modric leaves in summer 2024 which is A MUST.
We have to accept that this City team is up there with the greatest teams of all time. They’ve had a tendency to bottle it in the big moments, but on their day there’s very few teams ever that could match them
You're crazy. They've been favourites for 10 years and made two Champions League finals. Funny thing is Inter Milan have a chance
@@shoryu87 10 years is an overstatement and either way I literally said that they have a tendency to choke, but what other teams could handle Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with this much ease? I pretty much can’t think of a half of football in recent years where a team has been as dominant against another European powerhouse, as City were in the first half yesterday
Sure, but they still won’t get the respect that should come with such a title because they’re cheats
@@EH_1995 Fair enough, but Pep should get the credit for getting the most out of all these players and turning them into the players in their respective positions. Also the team building overall deserves some credit when you look at how Chelsea have spent hundreds of millions and are sitting down at the bottom half, it’s proof that money isn’t enough if you just throwing it on random trendy players
@@teamrainbow7674 this Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are not at their peak. 2020 Munich and 16/17 Madrid would beat city.
Coutois saved Madrid from conceding 8-0 period
