Real Madrid beats Manchester City: a drama with a course!

A dramatic football game caused excitement in the Champions League: Real Madrid triumphed 3-2 over Manchester City in the first leg and thus impressively shows that the way to the quarter -finals is still paved. The royal ones, who have won the title 15 times in European club history, now have a good chance of getting one step closer again. In a fascinating duel, however, the British gave decisive advantages despite two tours, which focuses on PEP Guardiola's training decision, which seemed desperate and frustrated after the defeat. According to Sport sky pulled the shorter and 80 took the lead.

The vulnerable defense of City

Despite the early goals of Haaland, the game for City was a reflection of the season so far, where it lost the fifth time after a tour. The defensive manager Guardiola confessed that errors and insufficient decisions were parts of the problem and spoke of a feeling of anger and frustration. Defender John Stones agreed and admitted that the team could not take the opportunity to go to Madrid with a 2-1 lead. Nevertheless, there is hope for a turn in the second leg on February 19, where the "Skyblues" must score in order not to leave in the Champions League prematurely, while in the Premier League behind 15 points behind Liverpool.

The exciting last minutes of the game, in which Kylian Mbappe (60th), Brahim Diaz (86.) and Jude Bellingham (90.+2) secured the lead for Real Madrid, are in a blatant contrast to despair of the city players. Guardiola said the team had to recover quickly from the setback to save the stagnating season. Next Tuesday, the second leg will take place in the legendary Santiago Bernabéu, a challenge that is of the greatest importance for both the players and the coach. It remains to be seen how it goes on, but the tension is guaranteed.
