what's this ?

Mancity is meeting Madrid and Liverpool against Villareal

Even If so, it will go that way

Amerengues2:


Are you new to the game of soccer? Where were you when atletico knocked out Liverpool not too long? Give City the kudos jare

He has short memory. Liverpool got whooped home and away by Atletico Madrid 2 seasons ago

garfield1:


I disagree. Madrid will likely remove city.if a solid Chelsea defense cannot contain vinixius,can city do!?

Solid defence that chop 4 against Brentford and 5 goals against Madrid over 2 legs.
What is a solid defence ?

AFONJAPIG:



Even If so, it will go that way

oh k

You have spoken

mvem:
they don't create more chances than City

They do sir that's why they score more

garfield1:


They do sir that's why they score more

no...they score more because the finish their chances better, more clinical in other words


And I check the stats Man City scores more goals than Madrid

garfield1:


They do sir that's why they score more

City Stat shows they score more

raphy:


If he no happened u will pay me 20k this night I mean am o

Guy how far?

Make sure you pay me from your winnings!

Rhu4xce:


Why didnt i see dis before the game

If you had seen it, you wouldn't have believed.

My guy I told staked 10k an won 27k with a 2.7 odd. The guy is hitting his head on the wall about not staking the whole 400k he had in his bank account.

StAmbrose1:

Chelsea undoing was the glaringly avoidable, and unreasonable errors they made.
In the first leg, Rudiger and Mendy mad avoidable mistakes.
In the second leg, Kante also made another avoidable mistakes.
Without those mistakes, madrid would have been knocked out.
Chelsea had more chances to win the match.
And TT failed to defend after the 3:0.
Madrid were so much lucky.
Anything they touched turned to gold.
Even Chelsea goal had to be disqualified.
Real Madrid were so much obviously in luck, but their luck ran out as they met more than their match in city.
And city would knock them out.
It is all English final.
City and Liv for the final.

When you finish your analysis as uefa president you be, underrate Villarreal at your own risk.

NobleSeed:
this was exactly what TT would have done yesterday but man was still attacking Madrid.. swallow your pride when necessary and do the needful.

What do you mean by saying he was still attacking Madrid? You want him to stop attacking when Madrid were still leading on aggregate or when they were levelled on aggregate at 2 nill.? Assuming Alonso's goal was counted, they would have stopped attacking and switched to defending.

garfield1:


Oga,most of Madrid threat is through counter.their attack is far sharper than that of city.they create more chances compared to city.they will pick city off

Football is not played with mouth
That's how majority of you guys were shouting that Bayern will punish Villarreal home and away
Abeg make una rest, na so una talk say naija go beat Ghana commot

garfield1:

Oga, there's really nothing special about Chelsea's defence when compared with that of Mancity. Infact statistically, Mancity have a better defence than Chelsea. You can visit the official premier League website and check their stats. City have more clean sheets and have conceded less goals. Looking at their records in previous seasons also shows city have a better defence.

Their match against Madrid is 50/50 and unpredictable. Remember the last time they met, City knocked them out even with the presence of Ramos. It ended 4-2 on aggregate, Madrid were thoroughly beaten.

You watched the match at all?....At 3-0, Chelsea was leading on aggregate

Reussite:

City was forced to play Athletico's style but be assured the City vs RMA will be a different ball game. If Chelsea can get 3 goals past RMA that easy, City will double it. Sadly City will easily qualify.

Madrid is not known for sitting back.. But teams will score but I feel city will come out

garfield1:


No one in city can mark benz

Lol, and one interesting thing about him is that he knows how to make his defender to lose track of him because of his great sense of positioning. He just appears out of nowhere and then bang!

Even the likes of T.Silver and Rudiger couldn't Keep up. That winning goal from him just shows how good he is. The way he guided the ball into the net made the ever reliable Rudiger to lose his footing and fell to the ground. Mendy was also wrong footed and couldn't adjust on time. Honestly the dude is a genius. He studies your body position/orientation and within a split second, he decides the best place to put the ball.

Angelfrost:
Hmmm... Lamasta, wetin dey sup na?!!

Atletico is still very much in this competition o!

It was a hard fought victory yesterday for Manchester City

Android22:
Vinicius is worse than him and Sterling is better at positioning than him. We beat this RM team in 2019-20 and Zidane as their coach. RM are not even a great counter attacking team which means they can't control the ball and can't counter City if we lose possession.

Yeah, we beat them under Zidane but Ancelotti is in charge now. He seems to know how to get the best out of these players and also knows some tweaks. Chelsea made a mess of this team last season and if not for their wasteful finishing, they could have beaten Madrid by 5 or more goals. But now, even when they are not in full control, they still manage to ship in the goals out of nowhere. See their performance against a Star studded PSG and now Chelsea, I think it will be difficult to stop this Madrid side.

With just one goal up, It will be foolish to defend against this Madrid side that has many world class players that can create goals out of half chances. CFC will invite a hell of pressure on themselves and will most likely be punished. They adopted the same style against Mancity this season and they lost both home and away. But last season that they attacked, you could see they beat city 3 times consecutively.

Mourinho did it against Barca. Nothing is special about Madrid. Villarreal defended well against Bayerrn. Even almighty Mancity were forced to defend for over 20mins yesterday. It's called change of tactics .

Chelsea got the third goal Midway into the second half, it's not like they were going to defend for 90mins. Just 20mins defensive duty would have given them the ticket.

Chelsea last year UCL was won based on their defensive strength

But you know it is most likely to fail especially when it is just a one goal advantage. ATM did it against Madrid in 2014 and it failed in the 94th minute or thereabout. Even that of Villarreal failed because Bayern eventually equalised but for chukwueze. Switching to all defence because of a one goal lead is not always a wise decision especially when you know how potent your opposition is.

Is 2014 Madrid the same as today's Madrid? No Ronaldo in this Madrid . Bale isn't even a starter again

Hard fought kini?!!?

Y'all were lucky that Atletico were not very Clinical!

pargelenis:
Absolutely … Atletico won La Liga last season and will likely get third this season. They have serious ballers … they should not have been playing bus parking defensive football in the first leg. City are a beatable team in the late stages of UCL.

You are getting everything wrong city plays like Leeds under their former coach we attack and we score and who ever scores the most wins but in city’s way there do a bit of defending the first leg tico defended because if they had attacked city would have scored them more than 1 and in the second leg it’s not in their interest to defend you can’t defend if you are not winning that was why they attacked and city not being able to add another goal during the first half of the second leg had to do the defending especially with their key man out the reason why tico pressured city that way was because city was defending their one goal lead

I no be city fan I was hoping tico would score them this is the only trophy pep needs in city rn so this competition is very precious to him

Stalemate..

Angelfrost:

Mehhnn...I watched the last 20 minutes of the game with my heart in my stomach. City should have killed that game earlier.
It is at times like this that I really dislike Ferguson for diverting CR7 away from city. Imagine if he led city attack... *Sighs*

OlawaleBammie:
see guy, tins have changed, this approach is best used wen away goal rule was stil prevalent.

Now u have to score goals more than ur oponent before u can go tru at their expense.

A real madrid team will never play a defensive game against mancity wen the ball is stil in 50/50 state, a chelsea team would never do dat, Sevilla wil play u as if he be ur mate, ac milan wil take the game to u, even if u wil beat dem four to zero in the first leg.

Wat am saying is dat, every team has the potential to retain a little possession of the game and every team has the potential to score goals, but wen u sit back u re obviously limiting ur potential.

Bros tico do more of attacking since last season their defensive pattern is old story but it’s not every team you would attack that was Simone game plan …take a look at Leeds them do calm down them no dae attack like before there are teams you attacked and teams you defend I b Chelsea fan o but I’ll tell you …you not fit attack man city any how this second leg sef if to say tico start their attacking from first half them for still chop am

Angelfrost:

Abi they were lucky Gundogan did not score that goal earlier in the first half.....

What matters now is our next game in the EPL and the one with Liverpool in the FA Cup before talking about Madrid in the Semi's

But right now, it is the same coach. (Ancelotti) Even the Ronaldo you mentioned was caged throughout the game. It was only Di-maria that was a constant threat to the ATM defence.
