Real-City

Ancelotti will have learned from last year disaster " he put a super offensive team so expect a more balanced team.
Real will have Bellingham but no Courtois/Millitao ; hearing Ancelotti will play Tchouameni rather than Nacho with a more balanced team
Rodrigo Vinicius are doing very well..now its up to Bellingham.

City - Pep said we should not always control a game but score- will not be the same than last year 1st half in Ethiad - may see Kovasic in midfield
City is very vulnerable to fast transition (see Aston Villa game) - camavingha is a great threat

I feel City will win but it maybe closer

I knew City was vulnerable in transition but come on...

How to you let Vinicius in 1-1 and Ortega was clearly not ready on this one

Vini’s pass to to Rodrygo and the subtle finish

Was a thing of beauty.

Foden’s goal was a straight banger. Can’t give him any space near the area.

A fun entertaining game worthy of a final. Let’s see what happens at the Etihad. Tchoumeni picked up the yellow but Militao will be back. So will KDB. Should be fun.

I heard it mentioned that Real has four guys on yellows.

They will need to be careful to avoid missing the second leg.

Yes this should be especially for the midfield

Tchounami and Camavinga are critical and both young and could easily got a second yellow
Now Bellingham is also in that category but he maybe less exposed

and it took less than 1' fro Tchoumani to prove me right *

1 down, 3 to go, Jack. *
