If Ancelotti bench Mbappe, Perez is gonna be mad to him. Mbappe's Perez's favorite player now, and he always gives him special spot.
If that happens, the team's stability will be disrupted. The coach knows what is best for his team. When a player is considered to be contributing less to the team, it would be better to bench him at the same time so that he can correct himself. Perez must also be realistic, he must not intervene with the coach by forcing him to play Mbappe. The most important thing in a game is the final result, not seeing the club president favorite player dancing on the field without contributing anything.

Pep Guardiola is troubled following the unsuit stats of his team, he wouldn't give chance to other oppositions because he's always top but happen this season? Alot of things have changed and watching the weak sectors that needs to be effectively strengthened, the team's supporters needs little faith so they could rise back on their chanting voices. What are your comparisons of Manchester City getting knocked out from the UEFA Champions League this season? They're absolutely down and couldn't even handled the less competitive sides both in the English Premier League and also in the UEFA Champions League. They just have to buckled up because there's no time on their side and winning becomes consistent, we're talking about winning top games and watching out for trophies.
I also think Pep Guardiola is right to be worried about Manchester City performance. Team is having tough time this season which is surprising because they usually do very well. It is obvious that some parts of team need to be improved. Manchester City losing early in UEFA Champions League is very disappointing and it is worrying to see them struggling against weaker teams in both English Premier League and Champions League. To get back on track team needs to come together and focus on winning consistently especially in important games. 
The frontline and backline position of Manchester City has been in a declining mood for the past few months, which has affected them in the fight for the Champions League and Premier League trophy.
Currently, they are being considered a weak team that can be kicked out of the Champions League and possibly kicked out as the Premier League title race contender. However, there seems to be hope for them by next season, not this season anyway, for them to continue with the fight for the Premier League and Champions League trophy contestants

The competition to gets top 8 place is very tight and i have counted that at least 12 teams has equal changes to finish on that position but i will ruled out Barcelona and Liverpool because most likely these teams have already to qualified and as we see in the standings most of big teams were dominate the position from 3rd place until 14th place but among all of those teams there are Aston Villa, Brest and Lille which we can be called them as dark horses teams this because surprisingly they can able to occupy top 8 place

Recently i have checked the upcoming schedules for Aston Villa, Brest and Lille and i think their opponents is relatively easy because Aston Villa vs Monaco and Shakhtar Donetsk vs Brest and for Lille indeed their opponent is strong because for 7th matches they will fight against Liverpool at Anfield but because Liverpool have already to qualified i think they will not pushing to win so maybe Lille can stole at least 1 point from Liverpool
Monaco will try to win against Aston Villa after their lose to Arsenal, they are also good, but their quality is not as as good as Aston Villa on paper, but they are also doing well and recently, Aston Villa also losses form, but they keep performing well in the Champions League which I am sure they will keep up to make to the knockout stage.

Liverpool is out of the question here as I think it is mathematically impossible for them to not be top 8 if you look at the remaining games and how teams below them play against each other. Liverpool made it.
Barcelona is also safe I think? Given that their goal difference is about +10 better than most of the other teams below them, dropping out of the top 8 places is close to impossible, if not impossible as it's quite a bit of work to cross check all games and see whether they could in theory still drop out.
For all the other teams everything is still possible while Leverkusen is playing Atletico next, which could be frustrating as it would bring them closer to the edge, but they would still have a relatively easy game for the last round against Sparta.
Arsenal should be through as they are playing Zagreb next and anything but a win would be surprising.
Brest and Lille both have one more tough opponent, Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively, but I think Liverpool might consider some rotations, which could be good for Lille.

I think if they are eliminated from the EPL trophy race then Manchester City will focus their energy on the Champions League. There is still great hope for Manchester City to improve their performance in the Champions League and in the domestic league. I am sure Pep Guardiola will be able to bring good changes in the upcoming matches.Currently, they are being considered a weak team that can be kicked out of the Champions League and possibly kicked out as the Premier League title race contender.

The crisis experienced by Manchester City is indeed very fatal because they have many quality players but their performance has declined greatly this season. In the upcoming match Manchester City will face PSG and maybe this is the most interesting match that will be life and death for both teams. However, I am still sure Manchester City can advance to the next round.
Manchester City's performance this season is very bad in all competitions, they have wasted many opportunities in the 11 matches that have been played. Manchester City's performance continues to decline on the front lines, making them weak in matches even though the opponents are not up to par.
I doubt Manchester City will qualify next year in the League Champions because it looks very difficult for City to win the match, what do friends think of City's future in the Champions League?

The problem of Manchester city is something else because what i feel is wrong with the club is that the players have completed lost their zeal to even win games because the Manchester city I know won't have lasted three weeks with this same poor form of they have that winning zeal that pep guadiola imprinted in the club.

It's not about deciding which tournament Manchester City wants to focus on because in both leagues Manchester City continues to get poor results, It is indeed difficult for a club whose performance is declining to force itself to focus on either the Domestic League or the Champions League, but the obstacle is that in both of these championships Manchester City cannot do anything, it's not about whether or not they are able to enter the Champions League playoffs this season, because in terms of play Manchester City has really declined this year and in addition not only Manchester City to enter the Champions League playoffs, but Real Madrid also has to face Atalanta if they want the Champions League playoffs which are known to have strength in Serie A this season, Atalanta's strength in Serie A is not in doubt and they are at the peak of their game this season.
I can't agree more. They are a huge club and even won treble just 1.5 seasons ago, they should be able to both win games at premier league, while also staying in top 24 at the same time as well. Seeing them not do that well, doesn't make sense to me at all, it just doesn't feel that much right. I believe we need to do much better and I think we need to consider this to be a normal situation to be in as well.I believe we are talking about a professional enough and good enough team that can do both at the same time. I understand why things may look not that great to some people, but to me it doesn't look that bad, I think it could be done a lot better and they could focus on both competitions at the same time, they should be able to at least.

The Manchester City performances in the champion league is more bad and become worst then others league, last they where able to make their performances to much standard and very strong; unlike this season that there manage 8th place in the position. And since they’ve already playing a lot of matches and almost all of the matches they didn’t meet up they lost most of those matches.I doubt Manchester City will qualify next year in the League Champions because it looks very difficult for City to win the match, what do friends think of City's future in the Champions League?
Furthermore, I think they should only go and prepare for the next year league that will more better for them to waste of much of their time and energy this season: without any good outcome come, because they’ve already lose much of their opportunity’s right from their previous matches.
Mbappe is a world class player and I don't think it will be realistic for Ancelotti to bench him irrespective of his current s performance. Real Madrid is a top tier club, and playing for them requires the player to make immediate impact. I like to think that the situation with Mbappe is due to the change of league and nothing else. Ancelotti is a good coach and I believe he will definitely get Mbappe to adjust to the club.
It wouldn't be realistic to expect such thing indeed. Mbappe is one of the most valuable players of his team now. Not only by value but also talent. Of course he deserves to be criticized when he plays badly.
However I don't think he should be benched. He is always a joker for Ancelotti even in a game in which he struggles. Because such special players always have a potential to score and make a critical contribution in a needed time.
In time I believe in Mbappe to adapt to the league and team both finally. People should remember that Messi also couldn't adapt to PSG for a long time until starting to play effectively.
When an expensive player fails to perform well or does not perform as expected in his new team, then it does not matter if he is benched and criticized. Because after all, Real Madrid has had experience with several expensive recruits before, such as Hazard who in the end Hazard only became a player who was on the bench even though at that time Real Madrid also spent a lot of money to bring Hazard. And also, there may still be other teams that mean, even though they managed to get a luxury player at a high price, there is still no guarantee that the player will really succeed in the team. So, I think it does not matter if Ancelotti benches Mbappe because after all, at this moment Mbappe is still given the opportunity and trust to be able to develop, and that is still a good situation for Mbappe too.
I would say Real Madrid won't have a problem going to knockout stage, sure they are not going to be in top 8, that was known for a long time now, but they are going to be within the top 24, which is enough. Then, the problem will start based on who they face, if they face another big team then it would be an issue, there are other big teams out there, like even City is doing bad this season, maybe they will face each other early this year, I do not know.
I still think they can do fine, they are not really that bad, they are not like City, Real still keeps winning games. I think with a little bit more push, they could still win the whole thing, and that feels like it's something we can definitely see very soon, they will recover and do much better.
Hence, If we should check the current uefa champions league standing, strong contenders seem to be on the list although next game could reshuffle things with maybe Bayern and Dortmund crossing to the Round 16 and that's little outta more strong opponents so they must be prepared to face a strong opponent ( what I'm I saying, this is UCL
), any dips they are gone . City decline does not have a source nor reason
I think Ancelotti should take a risk by not playing Mbappe first, in a match as important as this a small mistake can be fatal, therefore I am a little doubtful that the attacking line is entrusted to Mbappe for now, I prefer Endrick and Arda, Mbappe wasted too many chances in the previous match, indeed he has not adapted well but as I said this match is important. I hope Ancelotti does not make a mistake in implementing his tactics.
Well things went well for Ancelotti this time, but he has to do better because he still doesn't have a place in the last 16. He has to do better because being in the last 16 is not the same as being in the first 8, so this time he has to do more. For me, Vinicius is a key player, as is Bellingham. Mbappé is a player who is not 100% fit, but Ancelotti still has a lot of faith in him, and it's difficult when a coach gets that into his head, it's difficult to come down from that cloud. The one who is doing absolutely nothing is Endrick. It's a shame , but the Brazilian , when he takes the ball, loses it or hits it and it's bad.I still think they can do fine, they are not really that bad, they are not like City, Real still keeps winning games. I think with a little bit more push, they could still win the whole thing, and that feels like it's something we can definitely see very soon, they will recover and do much better.

This is the worst that have happened to them I saw how frustrated pep looks because of how poor they have been performing, it's a lot and they have been unstable seriously and they don't even have a shot against them, and I don't know why there performance have been declining and it is becoming a serious problem because they are even finding it very hard to restore back there confidence and that is very important because there performance have been going down and down so there is nothing else to do about and if issues like this is not rectified on time then, am sure there next year will be better.
And it is very possible that they might not actually qualify because of how poor they have performed but if it is the city that I know they will definitely do something about there predicament, Manchester City thay have been on heat are now cold, this things happen but no one expected Manchester city to fall in this shoes even been beaten by Manchester United so it clearly how they are dropping from who they are because people would have placed a bet on city to win that game.

It seems like it would be difficult to see ancelotti benched mbappe at the moment, because after all his status as a star player and also high trust from management makes ancelotti might get pressure if he doesn't play mbappe, so far we can see how he continues to be played by ancelotti although he doesn't perform optimally, so obviously it raises big questions for us at this time, Although they do have other players like Endrick and Güler who may be able to re-energise and make a difference in their game, like you, I was hoping that Ancelotti would make a tactical change by not playing Mbappe, but of course the decision is up to Ancelotti and he knows what's best for Madrid at the moment.

We know how famous and popular Mbappe is. Playing him is also helping Real Madrid to form him as their new iconic player. However, I wanna see him rest in game against a bottom team from the Mexican league. FIFA Intercontinental Cup doesn't seem to be an important match.
The EPL is an elite league, it comes with huge surprises and there are presence of epic winnings for elite teams and mediocre clubs settled for defeats. This weekend have been really one of the most entertaining one because there are presence of defeats and wins for both elite and average teams. Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur was the only elite team to grab comfortably three points. The center points of discussion is Manchester City and losing streaks. Pep Guardiola should exits the doors of Manchester City now that he still have it in him, he set up a good reputation and watching his squander everything away would hurt so badly.
English Premier League is very competitive league that mostly has surprising results. This past weekend was very exciting with both strong and average teams winning and losing games. It is worth noting that Chelsea Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were only top teams to win their games easily. But big story is about Manchester City and their losing streak. I understand why people are frustrated but I do not think Pep Guardiola should leave Manchester City. He has built great reputation and has had a lot of success with team. It is too early to give up on them and I think Guardiola can help them do better again.

So what every coach that has him would have to do is to learn to manage him the fit into the team. Otherwise, you have to sell him and other clubs are ready to have him. Ancelotti has no intention and would have no intention to bench billion mbappé as long as he is fit to play.
