There is no one who kills Madrid

Madrid in immortal mode takes the live tie to its stadium after a tremendous game and without defenses. The City, unleashed in attack and fragile behind.

The situation

The Bernabeu has work, which is asked for a miracle per week. Madrid takes City to its territory, the wholesale comeback in a stadium where no one is free from being crushed. It was after a tremendous and unexpected duel, orphan of defenses, played with the outburst of a final, in which Madrid endured three accounts of protection to finish on their feet. There are no Champions in the showcases without a bad time on the pitch. Ancelotti’s team already has three, but there is no one in the world capable of getting up so many times. Not one step back. That’s what Guardiola and Ancelotti said from the blackboard. The Catalan did the rest, with three points, the closest thing to a pure center forward (Gabriel Jesus) in the bow and De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva in the second line of combat. Guardiola’s Armada, read a banner. And that seemed like the quintet, an army. Ancelotti responded with Rodrygo, a 4-3-3 and the message that this was more about replying than resisting. More once seen the patches on the sides of the English team: Stones, a diminished center, and Zinchenko.But before two minutes everything was a dead letter.

Gabriel Jesus, in his garden

Unlike the gale that unleashes Liverpool, City is a Malaysian drop: high pressure, quick recovery, obsessive possession and waiting until the opportunity appears. Science and patience. Not even that had been put into practice when he found himself with a second goal as a gift. Kroos allowed De Bruyne a low cross on the edge of the area, Alaba played it all on the crazy anticipation card and Gabriel Jesus took advantage of the error. Of those, Varane died two years ago.
