Madrid's scheme last season was not used for this season because Pep is also sure to be able to anticipate that.
On the other hand, Madrid's defense was also really lax in this match and of course their midfield also couldn't do anything because it was already covered by 5 Manchester City midfielders who really played very well especially when there were KDB and Gundogan as the masterminds of their attack.
Talking about Manchester City's home matches from the top 16 to the semi-finals, this time they always kept a clean sheet and see how many goals they scored. Against Leipzig they won 7-0, at home to Bayern they won 3-0 and now Madrid with 4-0. it is a very good achievement for Pep and Manchester City.
Ancelotti, who tends to use the same strategy for Real Madrid in every match, made Pep Guardiola easily create the right strategy to break Ancelotti's strategy. And it was proven that in this match, especially in the midfield, Real Madrid really struggled and lost a lot of balls in this match.
They could not develop because from the start it was already closed to the midfield conditions with 5 Manchester City players. On the other hand, their role is also not maximized when the players are also required to help in defense because Madrid is really not in good shape in defense when it is battered from start to finish. I was expecting more in the second half actually but indeed they got into Manchester City's rhythm and it couldn't be stopped so Madrid just kind of accepted it and got into a rhythm which only destroyed them more.
It was a disappointing match for Real Madrid. Manchester City took advantage of being the home team very well. Real, who played very well in the first match in the defense zone, could not show any presence in the rematch. 4-0 is a big score and makes Manchester City the favorite team in the final.
Looking at this match I still feel that indeed Manchester City for the first leg match could actually be more than that but Pep had other plans in mind and they really went all out for the second half which made Madrid very difficult.
Now they will be in the final again, let's hope that their final curse for the Champions League is not repeated now because it would be a shame especially with their current condition the final can actually be said to be quite favorable with their condition being much more stable than Inter.
