How Real Madrid did the IMPOSSIBLE to advance in the Uefa Champions League Semis

Great watch as always 👊🏿. I think thats the beauty of football. Coz theres no one way to win. You can be a terrorist without the ball and you can be a terrorist with the ball coz at the end of the day you have to make your shots and possession and chances count, if you don't that's life.

*And yeah the average players thing you hit the nail on the head, I think it's coz the team has done well to always pass the torch on during these eras. So there's always a balance between the young players coming in and the old players going out basically passing these comebacks and mythical mentality over and over. I remember Kiyan Sobhani once used the perfect analogy of an old pizza oven. Where you can basically have an old pizza oven from a small restaurant that never gets washed and you get the best pizzas out of it coz you constantly have flavor being passed down even tho it's probably not hygienic but makes the pizza taste better and better somehow versus maybe a better restaurant that always cleans their ovens and has better pizza recipes but lacks that soul of everything being passed down era after era.

Stay tuned for the Bayern Arsenal video. Sorry for the delay. Also Madrid got lucky ✌

M8 if you still dont get it, you're like so many different pundits on tv and never will. Games are won scoring more than your opposition. There are no points for style. Football is not gymnastics. There are 2 different moments in every match. Attacking and defending. Both take skill, tactical planning, commitment, etc. Both are equally important to achieve your goals. Like every other Pep team, city defends poorly. He's an adept of Cruyiff philosophy, so you defend denying you adversary the ball. That's why he always chooses a certain type of players, and assembles its teams ina a way that garanties him the far majority of possession. Without the ball you're adversary can't score. But without the ball, City is vulnerable. You play high possession, man mark in the back line, and are usualy permeable to the fast break. As you were again yesterday. And a couple of years ago in Madrid, where you weren't able to hold the lead? Why? Because at that time, facing preasure, you couldn't hold the ball, and your defence showed its vulnerabilities. Ancelotii is italian. Nobody is more able do devise holding game plans than the masters of Catenaccio. They live, shit and breathe defence. And contrary to last year, where wrongly he tried to beat you at your plans playing you're game, this year we just annuled you. City had almost 70% possesion. More thant 30 shots, bla, bla, bla, but how many real chances? Very very few. You're lucky on you're goal on a bad cut by rudiger, and de Bruyne missed a great chance. Not much more. Madrid, because of the sort of players it has upfront, always plays a fast break game preferably. So we are confortable give the ball away and bidding our time. But it creates huge problems for Guardiola, who is not adept of changes mid game, new fomations or game plans. He always sticks to his system. It's enough to win a lot. Especially in England, where everybody plays open, and in Germany, where Bayern at the time didnt have any serious opposition. But against othe european teams... That's where it gets tricky. Owning the ball is a nice stat, but its scoring and not conceding that wins games.

Without the ball city is vulnerable but Madrid only had 8 shots and won on pens…. Make it make sense. I agree tho carlo definitely put some italian tactics in there for this 👍

Madrid fans are overlooking Bayern don’t worry Bayern is gonna humble there ass

[@TBS-Football]

Lets calm down

[@AliMuhammad-vo3cz]

Its one thing to contain some one like saka, and its another to stop someone like Bellingham, vini, rodrygo, especially when you have some one like kroos threading passes, thouamaeni guarding the CBs and Valverde running up and down the midfield, the full backs just sound like a bonus at this point, the sheer quality that madrid have means bayern cant even come close, especially when they have to play the return leg at the bernabeau with the roof closed, it would take some tactical master class to stop real, the only match that they can lose is the final, and that only because its played in one leg

[@OmarHossain-lp7ij]

Losing is down to both manager and players. Teams should know their strengths and weakness. City are a highly overrated, their only acceptable performance in UCL is 2023. They should not expect to win penalty shootouts and therefore should not allow games to go there.

[@TBS-Football]

They definitely shouldn’t have allowed it to go to pens but what more could they do vs 11 men inside the box
