Carlo Ancelotti, as an experienced and successful manager, is known for his ability to adapt his tactics based on the team he’s facing. His recognition of Manchester City’s strengths and Real Madrid’s weaknesses, and adjusting his strategy accordingly, shows his tactical acumen. Having the ability to turn perceived weaknesses into strengths, and to exploit the opponent’s strengths to one’s advantage, is a mark of a great tactician. It’s a delicate balancing act that requires deep understanding of the game, the teams, and the players.

Well, Bayern and Real are apparently nobodies in the UCL

City generated 2.7 xG in 33 shots over 120 minutes. That’s less than .1 xG per shot. That’s less than 10% chance to score per shot. City had 2 quality chances all game: 1 from a mistake from Rudiger and 1 they generated from their play via Doku and Akanji, but KBD missed. The idea that Man City battered RM is just false. RM forced City wide all game, and City had no ideas on how to break down RM. Edit: Some of you pointed out my math was wrong so I had to double check. I did in fact miss a zero for the percentage. But that is now fixed. Regardless, City generated less than .1 xG (.08 xG) per shot in average which is the point. XG is an extremely flawed stat, but based the volume of shots, I believe the argument can still stand: the idea that City “pummeled” RM is simply not backed up by any data, or even simply watching the game. We can keep going down this rabbit hole and point out that out of City’s 33 shots only 9 were on target mind you, which is another set of data and statistics I don’t want to get into. You can look up xG vs xGot if you’re interested.

They just need to get the job done. This is how they scored the first goal yesterday.

You can’t say Madrid got battered when their plan was to sit deep absorb pressure and hit on the counter and then they go do exactly that. Getting battered is if they sat deep and conceded 3-5 goals not 1 goal in 120 minutes against City at Manchester. Any other team does that and you say great defending.

real madrid won it and man city lost it. Real madrid was amazing on the counter attack and had amazing defense throughout the game, while man city couldn't penetrate inside the penalty box with the amount of time they had the ball.

How many difficult saves dud Lunin have to make in the 120 minutes? 2 or 3? I'd say that means that Real controlled the game without having the ball. The knew what they had to do and they did it

This game also shows how important Stones is, Akanji was free'd coz he can't score. Man City doesn't score from crosses, so they let them cross. First game Silva and Foden scored some great shots, so what did Madrid do, stopped the shots. And what's wrong with defending its just as much an art as attacking. How many teams can say they can do that nowadays. And even City can't, so thats why I think Madrid is better team because they have the better manager.

Defensive play is a critical part of the game. Period!!

These pundits gotta give Lunin the credit he deserves... That Bernado Silva penalty was pure reading of Lunin and wise decision of Lunin.

Stong is the team that wins at the end of the day. Real Madrid are not called Kings of Europe because they play the best football, They are called so coz they have 14 UCLs It's just bizarre that a team is criticized because they played a certain way. in the end both team scored 4 goals, if Man CIty is so great in offensive play why could they not score more. 30shots 18corners and you score 1goal, I guess the problem is being clinical.

“Gab why are you so angry?” 🤣🤣🤣

has Pep ever considered that his strategy is not the best way to beat elite teams? if you side pass and back pass so much that it makes you press resistant, it forces the other team to defend deeper and deeper until they've parked the bus. so now your ability to create good chances goes down significantly. if you played more direct and played riskier passes, you'd give up the ball more but the other team would push forward more, and thus give you more space in transition to attack into. and counter attacks seem like they'd work really well when you have players like Doku, Haaland, Foden, and De Bruyne. but i guess Pep would rather have 70% possession, create 2-3 good chances, lose, and then get to complain that they were the better team even though they lost.

Rodri's arrogance!"'Only one team played" Nonsense!

Madrid proved to us once more that the 'Special One' is not dated after all 🤣😂🤣😂

In the final against Liverpool, I was always more confident Real Madrid would score than Liverpool would. So Stevie is talking nonsense.

​@@Sidwhite-yb5cvI'm not even a Madrid fan, I'm just having fun against arrogant EPL fans 😂

The only difference between a good penalty and a not good one is just as simple as whether it goes in or not I have seen in many occasions players took penalty like Bernardo did against Madrid, and when it went in, people said it was a good/clever/well taken penalty The same with Modric's and Kovacic's. One day penalty like those went in and people praised it, some other day it didn't go in and it's a bad penalty.

This question is *NEVER* asked when a Premier League team wins. Somehow they always win on merit. 🙄🤦‍♂️

"How about we talk about what happened." Great point from Stevie when talking about Real Madrid. Pitty he doesn't subscribe to this thinking when talking about Salahs miss which if it went in, Liverpool could've, should've, would've, might've won the tie. Even if they lost 3-1 on aggregate. Just give Stevie his own Liverpool fancast.

Pundits and down casting Madrid 😂😂 just makes me laugh.. defending is part of playing too.. never underestimate the soon to be 15time champions 🎉🎉

If Real Madrid had gone down they would’ve played differently. but you’re a goal up after 12 minutes and given you had to be beat through long shots last game, there is no need to attack if you can avoid them this time. City had more possession but they kept doing side passes and struggled to create a clear chance. Real Madrid did give away possession easily, but there was clearly a lack of trust in nacho on the ball that it was better to kick the ball out and try to win a duel in the air than to start from the back like ancelotti usually does. If you try to play back and forth like in the first match you don’t know if you’ll be up 4-0 or down 1-4 at the end of the match. They absorbed the pressure well, and even when debruyne scored there was no need to chance tactics when you can tell city was having trouble breaking through. Lunin had 8 saves, but they were mostly shots straight to him

ESPN TV should simply be named Man City tv.

If Haaland & De Bruyne would have laid down like Carvajal. Then it’s creíble. They were not credible. On the other hand Real Madrid learned from their lesson last year not to press because it would let City break in behind the lines. Excellent job at defending behind the line even if it gave more possession to City. Results paid out at the end.

What is ESPN's Kryptonite? Giving credit to Real Madrid 🙃

All the speculation about why they lost is irrelevant. Real Madrid's defense and goalie were better than Man City on this day. End of story.

@@MasterDifootball The difference between Real and Athletico is that “parking the bus” is Athleicto’s whole game and philosophy. Last year Real Madrid tried to go toe to toe with man city and got thrashed. Carlo said he wouldn’t make the same mistake and he didn’t. On top of that Real Madrid lost their number 9 and half their defensive back line due to injury. They didn’t have much to work with yet they still got through. There is a fine line between having your game and philosophy being around putting every player in the box and hoping for the best vs defending as a team and unit. Don’t sit here and act as if Real Madrid has been doing it for years cause they haven’t. Playing defensive football as a unit doesn’t mean it’s “anti football”. Majority of teams who gain the lead will play defensively. Why are you acting like this is brand new? You sound salty. Take the L, learn, and move on from it.

Real Madrid won it Score early and shut it down until Penalties Madrid won it because their Game Plan WORKED They made the City players tired Pep said Haaland n KDB couldn't even stand anymore

There's more than one way to win a football game, I hate it when one team says after the match "Only one team was playing or etc." Hate possession based football, it makes people think if you have 70/80% of the possession ENTITLES you to the win.

The most surprising thing was how Real Madrid were the fresher side in the second half of extra time and started pushing City back with lightning fast counter attacks.

The team that did not advance lost. There's your answer.

It's a bad penalty. That's why it's risky to shoot down the middle the risk of having your shot easily blocked. So you need to juke the keeper out with your movement and run up if you don't and he stays still it's embarrassing and it's a bad penalty.

REAL MADRID: "WE COME IN PEACE!!!!"🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂

Everyone on set never gave Madrid a chance

I love how Stevie is an angry old man most of the time and, calls someone out for same things then gets mad because he disagrees with Shaka 😂 Pick a side man!

Winning the 15th UCL title will be a great send off for Modric.... Hala Madrid 🤍👑🏆

Real Madrid didn't get battered. They dealt with the pressure comfortably.

When you play Real Madrid, you don't just play against the 11 on the field. You play against the history, the gigantic aura that screams champions, Di Stefano, Gento, Puskas, Zidane, Carlos, Figo, Cristiano, Benzema.. That kicks in, the winning mentality. That is huge in games like these. Plus, people tend to forget that Real Madrid is top of La Liga, in the UCL Semi, won the Spanish Supercup, without a number 9, with the backline and GK shuffled throughout the season. Ancelotti gets so little credit. Praising Pep, Klopp, Mou is all fine, but Ancelotti deserves the same attention or even above. The guy is a legend, textbook for future coaches.

British will do everything but give Real Madrid credit for the win against City. They won the game!

Possession and Tiki Taka has gotten old and proven to be ineffective!

Lunin said that they decided before that he would stay in middle for Bernardo Silva!

Champions League games are more for STRATEGY.., Not TACTICS only. STRATEGY is more about the whole game management. TACTICS are more about POSSESSION. Pep is the best Tactical Coach there is and his counterpart at Madrid is the best Strategic Manger in Football. Champions League being more about Strategy Real Madrid Coach has more

ESPN is a troll channel and they all hate Real Madrid like most football fans lol because we remain #1 no matter the odds against us 😆 not to mention Real Madrid have the largest most dedicated loyal fanbase around the world ofc they're gonna hate 😂

The side of "they asked to come off" that jumps out at me is that Pep presents himself as so passive in the matter. He's the manager, and the manager makes those decisions. Plus, he's maybe the most micromanaging manager around; his players get chewed out if they do anything outside of his plan, but he talks like they told him they wanted out of the game and he was helpless to do anything but make the subs.

Lunin clearly stated in a post match interview that they expected that at least on city player will go for the middle/panenka it before the shootouts started and because of his game type, they decided to gamble on Bernado Silva. The rest is history. Experience and hardwork won it for Madrid

unreal night....tears down my face....lunin got the last laugh against silva that penalty was personal.......lunin hometown in a war zone and my guy cold as ice
