Real Madrid and City left everything for Manchester

Real Madrid and City tied at the Bernabéu will play a pass in the final of Champions next May 17 in Manchester. Both teams showed that they can fully enter that final because City’s favoritism is not reflected in the new Chamartín pitch and neither is the danger of Haaland who ‘suffered’ Rudiger and Alaba.

Real Madrid and Manchester City They showed from the first whistle what they came to play at the Bernabéu. The English team to have the ball, hold and hold waiting for their chance Haaland like a ‘monster’ of a white nightmare. Real Madrid, for their part, will wait behind, close around Courtois, waiting for a counter attack on Benzema, Vinicius and Rodrygo. In other words, do not be fooled, what everyone or almost everyone expected from the rivalry of a Bernabéu that will explode for the first leg of the semifinals of the Champions League.

A stadium, a recreation that saw Courtoi stop two shots on De Bruyne and Rodri and Haaland was less nervous or tense when receiving the ball, although his shots did not cause problems for Courtois. City was the lord and master of the game, turning almost the entire game around for the band defended by Camavinga, it looks like they are playing at home and Real Madrid are the visitors. That caused displeasure in the stands who did not hesitate to whistle the English touch game as they waited for Real Madrid to attack. There was, but little and no danger. Until minute 25, he showed up Vinicius P.To take advantage of a City error and put the ball into the area for Benzema which was a non-goal as he avoided it Ruben Dias. That action woke up Real Madrid and put a City in tension that saw how to command comfortably, receiving 1-0. A great goal from Vinicius in the 36th minute with a great shot from the edge of the area after some good play by Camavinga. Real Madrid wanted to take advantage of a good wave of goals to get more, but City recovered and regained the ball. Although to little avail as the break was reached with 1-0 on the scoreboard.

The second act began with city going back to his initial plan, that is, to be in control and from there, look for a draw. Real Madrid, for their part, were not only unfazed by English control, but also showed the world that they also know how to play and get the ball out from the back. With that performance, occasions began to arrive. City, through the mobility of its attacking players and Real Madrid, with the Benzema-Vinicius-Rodrygo trio blowing up all of City’s defensive systems.

The game is equal and the goal can go either way, although the truth is the real Madrid, who claimed a penalty through a handball from Grealish, posed a more real danger than City. But English scores. is debruyne made it 1-1 in the 67th minute with a shot from outside the area. A play protested by Real Madrid who said that in a previous action, there was an out-of-band in favor of the whites, but the VAR found nothing unusual and the goal went up on the scoreboard.

The match restarted with the Bernabéu fighting referee Artur Dias. Both teams looked for another goal that would bring them closer to the Champions League finals. Benzema he has it, but Ederson keeps it out with a great save. The match went into the final stages with Real Madrid putting in more desire to score than a City that didn’t give up on that, but 1-1 seemed settled for the second leg. In the end, the English came out on top and everything will be decided in Manchester next week.
