It will be time to play the first leg again at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u; a new classic in the making.<\/p>\n<p>The penalty that didn&#8217;t go in at the Bernab\u00e9u was at the Etihad Stadium. <strong>Vinicius <\/strong>made up for his mistake and allowed Madrid to get back on track in a tie that was already <strong>expulsion of Bernardo Silva<\/strong> He got a little more face.<\/p>\n<p>The play occurred in the <strong>minute 17<\/strong>. The Brazilian went down his wing and created a double chance with a first shot at the post and a second shot after the rebound, which deflected <strong>Bernardo Silva<\/strong> with the elbow on the line.<\/p>\n<p>The French <strong>Clement Turpin<\/strong> He did not see it at the beginning, but after reviewing the play on the VAR he did order a penalty and expulsion of the City captain, the first of his career. Five minutes later, goal <strong>Vinicius<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Until that moment Madrid had suffered and they had the first great opportunity in the boots of <strong>Fede Valverde<\/strong> in a play similar to that of the first leg. The Uruguayan, captain in the absence of Carvajal, <strong>Brahim Diaz<\/strong> y <strong>Vinicius <\/strong>They were the protagonists of the first part.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bellingham<\/strong> he stayed in street clothes and <strong>Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong> I watched the game from the bench. <strong>Trent Alexander Arnold <\/strong>y <strong>Arda Guler<\/strong> They were the only changes in the starting eleven compared to the match against Elche.<\/p>\n<p>The set of <strong>Pep Guardiola<\/strong>forced to come back from 3-0 down, went out looking for the goal from the start and had the best chances in response to Valverde&#8217;s first one, but found inspiration from <strong>Thibaut Courtois<\/strong>. Neither Reijnders nor Cherki were lucky, nor was the Spaniard <strong>Rodri Hernandez<\/strong>who will most likely be on Luis de la Fuente&#8217;s list for the national team on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Only a few minutes before the break, in a defensive mistake by Madrid defending a corner, was he able to find the goal through the boots of <strong>Erling Haaland<\/strong>a bit in the semi-final too (minute 41). Like City at the beginning, even this goal was able to increase the white team&#8217;s advantage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<h2 class=\"ladillo\">Courtois&#8217; injury, the bad news of the night<\/h2>\n<p>Everything seemed fine for Arbeloa&#8217;s team, but after the restart they had to leave <strong>Andry Lunin <\/strong>in replacement of <strong>Courtois<\/strong>which had suffered an overload. He also made changes <strong>Guardiola<\/strong>forced by circumstances, giving entry to <strong>Nathan Ake<\/strong> y <strong>Marc Gu\u00e9hi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Tactical modifications that did not alter Madrid&#8217;s script, which despite the numerical superiority was comfortable looking for a goal on the counterattack, taking advantage of the spaces left by City. Thus he warned <strong>Vinicius <\/strong>as soon as the match resumed, while <strong>Haaland<\/strong> He had it after a long possession.<\/p>\n<p>The warning from the Norwegian striker made the white team&#8217;s midfielders wake up to have a little more control. That the locals were going to attempt the miracle was taken for granted, but there was no need to roll out the red carpet, because <strong>Haaland <\/strong>I needed little to pull the trigger and <strong>Tissue <\/strong>He didn&#8217;t need ten teammates behind him to confront and haggle with anyone who came his way.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why the replacement of <strong>Haaland <\/strong>with so much time ahead, but the truth was that except for the goal he did little else. With <strong>Semenyo <\/strong>y <strong>Marmoush <\/strong>Guardiola was looking for more speed and pressure. With so much speed, <strong>Tissue <\/strong>He over-braked and scored offside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<h2 class=\"ladillo\">The return of Mbapp\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Madrid preferred to mature them more, so much so that sometimes they lost chances with too many passes in front. In those, after a very good not taken advantage of by <strong>Vinicius<\/strong>came out <strong>Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong> by <strong>Brahim <\/strong>and in the next one he had it <strong>Tchouameni<\/strong>testing <strong>Donnaruma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And in the corner kick generated, <strong>Mbapp\u00e9 <\/strong>He tried a volley, finishing wide. In just two minutes Madrid did more in attack than in the entire second half, although never showing signs of losing control of the match and playing with the advantage of the clock running out.<\/p>\n<p>When it wasn&#8217;t the clock, it was <strong>The moon <\/strong>and when it wasn&#8217;t <strong>The moon<\/strong>it was offside, but nothing was in favor of those of <strong>Guardiola<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They also canceled one of <strong>Valverde <\/strong>for the same reason and another <strong>Vinicius <\/strong>in added time. The Brazilian, however, pulled out the thorn in the last play (minute 93), certifying the classification of the <strong>Madrid <\/strong>for the quarterfinals of the <strong>Champions League<\/strong>. One more and another classic awaits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<h2 class=\"ladillo\">Resumen del Manchester City &#8211; Real Madrid | Champions<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He Real Madrid has achieved qualification for the quarterfinals of the Champions League after winning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
