I still don't know why whenever it comes to a crucial game such as this, Erling Haaland would just be a ghost in the game, like is worrisome and Pep Guardiola needs to start up somebody who's not relaxing in games such as this like Alvarez. I believe he [Alvarez] can do better than Erling or if possibly play both attackers in the return leg and make the defense of Madrid work more than they did in the first leg and hopefully it will be a win for City at the end.
Real Madrid has fallen behind by not being able to win home matches. In the previous season, we saw Real Madrid lose 4-3 against Manchester City in the away match, but they managed to qualify for the final thanks to a 3-1 win at home. But this time they can't play well in the home match. I think Manchester City will qualify for the final.
I expected this match to be very competitive and both teams will play very fast. We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. The players of both the teams tried hard to score. However, Real Madrid cannot take advantage of the home. I'd say Ancelotti was defeated by Guardiola's match tactics at home. I won't say that Real Madrid played badly, but I expected them to win. But they can't win. However, after losing the first leg last season, Madrid produced a great performance in the second leg and beat City to qualify for the final. I hope the second leg will be more crowded.
