people need to realize that Real Madrid was never going to the Etihad Stadium to dominate possession whatsoever. Ancelotti knew he needed to score first and he did with Rodrygo; if Madrid hadn't scored first, then there would have been no way that this team would come back. Ancelotti played around with Pep's tactics. City having like 70% possession meant nothing if everything they did with the ball was sideways or backward. For Ancelotti, he dictated City's style of play with his defensive structure and player movements. Yes, I agree that it looked disgusting to watch, but Ancelotti dictated the play for tonight's game. He was never going to play like last year when we lost 4-0 and he made the field open for City. In fact, all those goals for City came from central positions where Real Madrid's defense was dissected through the middle. This year, he blocked the middle of the park, which is where City thrives and gave them the wings. Ancelotti was playing around with Pep without Pep even knowing. This was a typical "You take the ball and play with it, but I won't give you a chance to penetrate and expose me" situation. Even City's goal today came from a lucky rebound back to De Bruyne. Other than that, City just passes the ball amongst each other with no real threat most of time. It felt like they kept the ball for 5 minutes for each attack and nothing happened. I don't know why people are pissed at the fact that Ancelotti didn't expand his team and make the game so open. He knew that the only way to beat City was by closing down the midfield and forcing them sideways. Then, it becomes a training ground drill of pressure and cover for the players. The agenda that City dominated was due to Ancelotti giving City the ball for the entire game, knowing well that he can control the way City attacks with his defensive structure. It was working the whole game but eventually, the ball rebounds in the path of a City player for a goal. Other than that, Ancelotti coached a defensive masterclass that City struggled all night to break down. Let's not forget, the same thing happened in the 3-3 game where City just passed the ball sideways and rarely created chances. In the 1st leg, they only scored through goals from outside the 18-yard box. Today, the exact same thing happened but Madrid had less possession than in the 1st leg. The only difference is that City never shot from a distance. Over the 2 legs, City could only really create scoring chances by shooting from outside the 18-yard box. We need to give a lot of credit to Ancelotti because he basically nullified City's passing through the midfield lines and forced City to play a boring sideways passing game over the 2 legs. Once again, Real Madrid controlled the game by having the ball since their defensive shape dictated that game and Real Madrid was content since they were making City do what they wanted them to do. That is to pass the ball sideways and backward and not penetrate through the midfield.

Madrid has as many quality players as city no reason why they can't go toe to toe and let's not forget in Spain it took to unexpected goals for city to equalise.

It's like Deja vu....I've commented this same thing here more than twice in the last couple of years. I ALWAYS love it when Real Madrid are completely written off in the Champions league. Then when Madrid turn things around, it's back to the 'they were lucky' and 'they were completely outplayed' narrative. Then they get written off again next campaign, rinse and repeat. Especially in a season where Real Madrid suffered the worst injuries possible and the same season Benzema left and was not replaced and everyone said they'd go trophyless. Ancelotti should never be disrespected again by any Madrid fan!

It was even better when CR7 was still playing in Madrid, pundits writing Real Madrid off and also calling Ronaldo finished every single year and then he would turn out as top scorer every year in the end and Madrid winning it 3 times in a row. I also remember them calling Benzema trash during the CR7 era, then all of a sudden they licked his boots when he was by miles the best striker in the world after CR departure.

Spain had this same problem a few years ago with the tiki taka plays that didnt do much but saw them having possession of the ball around the 18 yard box. They werent smart enough to start crossing the ball in the air with the hopes that a lucky header or a foul would be drawn . So, they couldnt penetrate through the ground play because of Madrid stacking the box and they never made any adjustments. Man City is suffering from the same problem. At a certain point, if you cant break the defense down through normal play, then, spread the ball wide and start putting air ball in the six yard box

[@dinopadayachee8289]

There are many ways to win a football match, just because a team has most of the possession means nothing. We can forget that sometimes when a team defends they're pushing you into certain areas of the pitch where you can have possession but be ineffective with the ball so even shots at goal doesn't mean the defending team was outplayed if they're forcing you to take shots from distance. We all love attacking football but forget that defending is also a skill in itself so have to applaud Real for their strategy, tactics and nerve in the game

Instead he messed-up with the calm space the payers need most when dealing with penalty shootouts. Learning from Don Carlo in this regard, will help him a great deal next time. Penalty shootouts need culmness and manager/coach needs to create an environment of calmness at any given opportunity. The last thing players need, its a loud and hard talking watermouth when they are about to take penalties.
