Manchester City Analysis: Glad to be back home
As usual, The Citizens were in control of possession throughout the game, however City’s front man Erling Haaland was expertly pressured by both Aurélien Tchouaméni and Antonio Rudigger. Ultimately it left most of the chances in the hands of Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva, who definitely played up to the task.
It was a rather chaotic game for both sides, however Manchester City will need to find ways to break Madrid’s deadlock outside of looking for long distance shooting and second hand chances.
Real Madrid Analysis: Counter attacking football at its best
With barely 38% possession during the match, Los Blancos didn’t even attempt to battle Manchester City’s energy and pressure. However Real Madrid’s defensive stance on their half and subsequent counter attacks were incredibly effective.
Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo managed to constantly break City’s off side trap, leading to several chase downs through the sidelines. Nevertheless it was Federico Valverde who became the hero for Los Merengues, thanks to his electric long distance shot at the 79’ to level things out.
Our soccer analysis suggests this is going to be yet another chaotic match. Real Madrid should be able to find the back of the net when City’s backline loses focus on the counter, but ultimately we expect Manchester City to level things out and come out on top by 1 goal.
