Why is the perfect time for Guardiola men to play European champions

Manchester City set out from one crisis to another this season. The bad model, the list of malfunctions and well -documented issues outside the field have led to the repetition of previous years of hegemony.

The city passes in fifth place in the Premier League, which is 13 points from Liverpool leaders and without an opportunity to demand a consecutive title. They were unable to manage only twenty -second in the renewed European Champions League table and have defeated the likes of Sporting CP, which could not have been imagined only 12 months ago.

An invincible Joe has long has disappeared.

Thus, their struggle with the defense of European Champions Real Madrid is a single conclusion, right?

Madrid is struggling

mistake. Madrid also bears a relative crisis and will reach England outside the figure, its loss almost the fourth entire first option, and with the lack of chemistry that still revolves around three of Vinicius Junior, the presence of Pelingham and Killian MBAPPE.

Saturday tied with Atletico Madrid, it means that they have kept the first place in the Spanish League, but the first three places are only two points a difference and Barcelona has regained Mogo in recent weeks.

Madrid won only one of its last three games, and this is a courtesy of the last goal of Gonzalo Garcia in Legans, Cuba del Rery.

On the weekend, they took out a point against Diego Simon Attiti, but only after coach Carlo Ancelotti was forced to put the law on his wrong weapons.

Wide -scale reports in Spain this morning claim that the Italian was very unhappy with pioneering individualism about the team’s instructions, as he issued a half time to Vinicius Junior and Pelingham and a confirmation to improve or prepare.

MBAPPE designed the equalizer immediately, but the accident provides greater weight for the theory that the three want to occupy a similar place on the field, leading to a defect that affects other areas.

Throw their defensive fears and the city should be encouraged.

Manchester City (Mancity) February 10, 2025

Yes, the host side still lacks Ballon d’or Rodri, but Madrid will have to provide a defense that lacks physical and experience.

Woe to defense

Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal were out of this season, while Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba were likely to miss my legs in the city. Alaba has just returned from about 13 months before he went down again.

If this is not bad enough for ancetti, Lucas Vazuez in the right back was forced to get out of Derby with Atleti due to a knee ters and will not travel to Manchester.

All of this adds to the four temporary in the Federation.

Federico Valverde can start in the right back. Although URuguay International has all the qualities to achieve the role sufficiently, his athlete will be missed in the center of the field.

The central defensive association is also likely to have another midfielder in Aurelien Tchouameni. The French is technically excellent and flourishes when Madrid has a lot of ball. However, the city must have its fair share of its possession of tomorrow night and Erling Haland will make his lips in anticipation of the thought of a physical battle that will undoubtedly win.

ASENCIO for Tchouameni Pack

Along with Tchouameni, Raul Asensio will be. The 21 -year -old was excellent against Athleti, but he lacks experience on the big occasion, especially in the European competition.

Then on the left it will be Verland Mendi. The former full -back Lyon was appointed to get a gesture on Fran Garcia and will be a key to organizing an experienced back line.

Another thing to consider is five players in Madrid who can play tomorrow night – Beiltham, Chaamini, Eduardo Kamava, Andrek and Luka Modric – all of them reserve away from losing the second station through the comment.

The city may still scratch its best, but they were unable to play Madrid better.
