In the early morning of February 20, Beijing time , a focus match was held in the next round of the additional match of the European Champions League tourn ament in the 2024 / 25 season .
The ch ampi ons , Real Madrid , took a 3 - 1 home away from visit ing Manchester City light ly , kno cking out their op ponent 6 - 3 in the second round to advance to the last 16 of the European Champions .
This role , the dual core Har land in front of Man City , the duo in Dob row was abs ent , could not do a little to manage Guardi ola , the Whatsapp up looked like a nons ense point os c ider .
I can ' t help but adm ire that this world - f amo us leader has really run out of talent .
Three new com ers - Kh usan ov , Nico G onza lez and Mal mus ch - started this game , and they all played well in the last Premier League .
However , Guardi ola seems to be brave , but the 4 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 squ ad is not able to catch his head .
Mal mus ch , Sa vin ho ' s pair - for ward and Ky ung - do - an re ign in the centre .
For den , the B - se at was split on either side of the mid fi elder , with Nico G onza lez taking over as one - back .
This formation , with no centre - for wards , no vari ants , no front , not to mention , is truly Guardi ola style .
However , such a strange Whatsapp - up directly led to the weak ness of Manchester City ' s attack in this match , and the tang led M F was power less .
The def ence was completely expos ed to a few sp ikes from Real Madrid .
Four minutes into the opening game , a long pass in Real Madrid ' s back co urt , Mba ppe shot light ly to break the door .
The goal is almost the same as the first goal he sc ored at Newcastle in Man City .
What ' s different is that the door has turned Ed son from Riv ero into a back wall .
In the e igh th minute , Stone was injur ed and could not be replaced by Ak , leaving Man City fr ost ed on the snow .
Fortun ately , the Kh ushan ov , which lost neither speed nor power , did not expl ode .
However , Real Madrid saw that the effect of the sie ge attack on the left route was poor , and opened a di zz ying dry big move .
The four men in front cross ed and changed positions , instant ly shak ing the Man City def ence ' s head .
In the 33 rd minute , the empty court in the Mba ppe pen alty area dropp ed one more cast le with his feet fac ing , and Real Madrid took a 2 - 0 lead .
In the process of this goal , what Manchester City fans did not accept the most was that their team was only mechani cal and defen sive in the process of def ending , and did not put much pressure .
There are not many defend ers , but they are being tam per ed with by the op ponent .
This is the same as throw ing down your weapons and sur r ender ing , and in reality it makes no difference .
In the first half , Real Madrid had an over wh el ming advantage both in sc oring and in the scene .
If he is 2 - 5 behind on aggreg ate , Guardi ola will not be so high , he will just let a few players change positions .
For example , the forward , Sa vin ho , who team ed up with Mal mus ch on the Ford ens prem ise , went back to the left and the B - se at went to the right .
This adjust ment bas ically means that changing the sou p doesn ' t change the medic ation .
In the 61 st minute , Mba ppe broke through the door to complete a hat - tri ck .
Five minutes later , F oden fle w into the stands with a long shot , which was the second shot in all of City ' s games .
In the 77 th minute , Guardi ola finally made a substitu tion adjust ment , K ova cic and McC ar thy were hung up , and Ky odo and F uku da were sent off .
Two new com ers came in and changed the attack for Man City .
K ova cic provided more offen sive support , and McC ar thy ' s runs and rob b eries were much strong er than Ky ung - do an , who was also one round bigger .
In the first minute of losing time , Mal mo ush ' s free - ki ck hit the be am and Nico G onza lez added a face - wash ing goal , leaving Cour to is bor ed and losing the pri ze in the last minute .
In this role , City increased their number of sh ots to 12 in the last 20 minutes or more of their efforts , and two ro okie goals in a row from Mal mo ush and Nico also became a few high lights on the field .
However , the mad ness of the last moments of Man City told the story of how Guardi ola ' s game was made .
In the absen ce of Har land and Deb rone , his Whatsapp - up would be more nons ensi cal and un com fortable for the players taking part .
On the contr ary , he finally broke the can and sent McC ar thy and K ova ch ki , but instead he ins ert ed wil lo ws to sh ade it .
If you had ki cked like this from the beginning , you wouldn ' t have won the game , but Real Madrid couldn ' t have atta cked the wild - card like this .
So don ' t say anything else , just talk about the ability under the rice co oker , and Guardi ola is one or more times worse than An cel otti over there .
With the same injury - rid den side rein for ced by the winter window 0 of Real Madrid , An cel otti reli ed on the young er Ra ul Ar zen cio , the with dra wal of the gu ests , Joan Am eni , and Val ve to re bu ild the steel defen se .
Man City ' s winter window bought 200 million people , and eventually came to the absen ce of Har land and Dob rone , and could not get his hands on Guardi ola .
Maybe , maybe , Man City should really think about changing the way they live .
