Why is Real Madrid's faith wavering while Manchester City gains momentum? I fail to understand. Are you judging based on their performance in their domestic league or the outcome of their last match? If it weren't for Real Madrid that allowed them to score, we all know that Manchester City was lacking in the previous game. Haaland was effectively neutralized by Rudiger, and Benzema and Vinicius showed more composure with the ball compared to City players. I don't see any exceptional qualities from their recent match. Even if we consider their domestic league performance, Real Madrid were in a similar state before the first leg and they played well as any other team would have done if given the opportunity.
There is no doubt that the Real Madrid squad plays more skilled football than the Manchester City squad in this season but the luck seems to be in favour of the manchester city side in both EPL and UEFA take their performance in the premier league for example how Manchester struggled all throughout the season trying to claim the first spot from Arsenal who started the EPL so well, but then finally got knocked down of that position by Manchester for two consecutive times.
But in all of this, Manchester City have been favoured to be the best. Chosen for the possible double trophy in both English leagues this season.
In this case, I think it was very evident that all the error of Real Madrid was not in the players, it was in Ancelotti's strategy, which was to have his players in a defensive zone and to counterattack, which was totally wrong. that's like putting the Brazilian team to play defensively, they simply can't, because the nature of Brazil and Real Madrid is to attack from the beginning and always shoot and shoot on goal, not letting the opponent breathe, and clearly Ancelotti He didn't do it, he did things that are not in the normal logic of a team like this, now I don't know what could happen with Ancelotti, he could leave or stay, I don't know , but these mistakes are inexcusable in a UCL where they it needs to guarantee victory , more than a team like Madrid that is used to winning.
I am sorry to break it but in Europa League final match, Roma played well enough with Sevilla and I don't see Sevilla are stronger. They are only better in the penalties where Roma should do their tasks better. The goal for Sevilla is an own goal from Roma and it is their luckiness. After that, Sevilla did not create any clear chance to have another goal so you can assume that if they did not have the lucky goal, they would have not scored any goal and will lose that match. Roma played that match not to hold Sevilla but to beat them and take the crown.
In the last football match, apart from having a strong squad, there is another factor that greatly influences the team's victory, and that is the mental aspect. Sevilla possesses that ability to boost their performance in the final match against AS Roma, who are coached by Mourinho. It may seem like luck played a role in their goal, but Sevilla created numerous opportunities, and it was fortunate for AS Roma that Rakitic's shot hit the goalpost.
Inter has a strong champion mentality, while Man City boasts a lineup of top players from around the world in various positions. Man City's ambition is also strong, and they are even supported by the world's best coach. I see better chances for Man City than Inter, which is why I believe that Man City will perform better in the upcoming final match in a few days.
But I remember how many users here said that Roma will win because of Mourinho. I think as a coach your possibilities are limited when the game is running. You can do a few things here and there, but you can't play yourself or do much when your squad doesn't get access to the game because the opponent is one step faster all the time.
Of course Guariola has a game plan and we will see him screaming and jumping and all that can help a little bit, but of the things are already done way before such a final takes place. The work of a coach isn't done the day or week before the final. The most influence that the coach can have is the speech he holds in front of the team right before the game. That is also what makes great coaches.
Well, I was the one who said that Mou was going to make Roma win, but honestly when they go to penalties anything can happen, there what plays the most is the luck of the teams, everything is cast, I miss those games where I played until I had the golden goal, those great times, now everything goes to extra time and then to penalties, but now football is like that, however the football that Roma created was very good and at a level, also winning 4-1 by penalties does not really reflect who deserved to win, but since football is not about merit but about those who score the goals, things are like that, Pep is very good, but Inter must be focused on playing their game, but not following what Guradiola proposes that this was Ancelotti's mistake.
