He City of Manchester will play against him real Madrid in the semifinals of the Champions League, a game in what everyone understands as an early final, after he fulfilled his mission (1-1) by drawing in Munich against a Bayern who put up a fight and did not go out with their arms down despite the result they brought home from the Etihad.
The first thing Guardiola did after the game in Manchester was to warn that in Germany they will give nothing and he was right. His experience at Bayern spoke for him and it soon showed Thomas Tuchel they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Before an Allianz was delivered, and the only thing new about the first leg of I canceled On the left side, the German team looked for the tickles and weaknesses of Pep’s men and deservedly ended the first half with a goal in their favour, although surely the closest was the city.
The midfielder line is especially productive. Eat and Sané, like the two arrows, joined Musiala and put the back of the English defense in trouble, with a direct game of great meaning. Not just stealing and running, but pragmatic. And everything could have been accelerated if on 17′ Sané, in his one-on-one against Ederson, put it inside.
Even if it’s uncomfortable cityproduct of pressure as dangerous as effectiveness of Bayern Munich almost shoulder to shoulder, the clearest went to his side. And it came in the form of a penalty and with one remaining opponent. upamecano He took the spotlight in the first leg and will be no less on the return, even though the eyes of the entire stadium are on him, praying that he doesn’t have one of those days where he appears in the picture. It was with the hands, in vain because he started with them on his back, a shot from Gundogan. i forgive Haalandwho kicked him out.
Norwegian will not be helpful later. And it was that the Bavarian sentence came after a prank by Coman who prowled the goal. The counter, in this case from the City, is deadly. De Bruyne played it Haaland and one against the other upamecano he recognized the Frenchman’s untimely slip, leaving the Norwegian alone in front of Sommer. And Erling does not forgive twice (57′).
At that point the tie was resolved. Four is too many goals, although the Bayern I want to continue to show faith in a miraculous return. The attitude of the players said it and also the changes of Tuchelwho gave an entry to Tel, Müller, Davies and Mané, the last for Sané in a morbid change, though the two shook hands. That desperate belief was matched by the Allianz Arena, which did not give up and roared even more when City were weakened by an injury to Nathan Aké, who was replaced by Laporte, which led to the retreat.
You’re going to die, do it with boots on. Yes, sir. So the rest of the rivalry was played on the British field, where Guardiola’s men calculated the gaps so as not to suffer too much. They didn’t do much either. Tel had a goal disallowed for offside by Coman and at least they got a goal in this semi-final. kimchi, from a penalty after the hands of Akanji, scored a goal of honor that served as little consolation (83′). The last relevant thing was the second yellow card he saw Tuchelwho ended up getting kicked out after a nerve-wracking game from the band.
Today, Haaland, De Bruyne and company face Manchester City in a rivalry that is almost a modern-day Champions League classic
