In response to Michael Owen - how can Pep have the tactical advantage when Carlo's tactics were to do exactly this, and Madrid are winning?

It's drilled back to Federico Valverde outside the box. He tees himself up then blasts it high and over the bar.

It's played out brilliantly but Real Madrid as David Alaba is composed when he knocks it back to Thibaut Courtois.
He sends it long to Rodrygo who cuts inside.

Bernardo Silva lifts it over to Kevin de Bruyne. He is able to carry it into the box and forces a strong save from Thibaut Courtois.
The flag goes up for offside but it looked tight. Courtois probably needed to make the save.

Rodri does well to hold off Vinicius Junior in the box, standing his ground then using his body to win a free-kick.

There seems to be at least three parts to Real Madrid's strategy: 1. Don't let City players feel composed in front of goal - so making it easier for Courtois. 2. Interchange players while attacking - it's not going to be as simple as Vinicius Junior down the left wing crossing it to Benzema. 3. Agitate the City players as much as possible, hoping for a sending off City have got the better team. They just need to stay calm and win it here or at the Etihad.

Ex-England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live
Image source, Getty ImagesI think Rudiger is relishing the challenge of Erling Haaland. Rudiger likes that type of game, Haaland has got to be a bit more clever.
Rudiger is loving it. I feel for Haaland because nobody spots his runs.

Real Madrid 1-0 Man City
Real Madrid have their turn with the ball now and almost make it count.
It's worked brilliantly through the middle with sharp, one-touch passing before Dani Carvajal flicks it through to Karim Benzema.
He fires it towards goal and Ederson has to tip it over.

The only things certain in life are, death, taxes and Real Madrid winning the Champions League.

Madrid always dark horses, even when they look second best. What a pedigree in the CL.

European Cup class always wins the game.

Former Real Madrid striker on BT SportI would not be disappointed if I was Pep Guardiola. Tactically he had the advantage. Yes they are behind but there'll be no panic.
