After First Leg vs Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola Delivers Clear Message
Manchester City and Real Madrid draw 1-1 in first leg of Champions League semi-final
Manchester City and Real Madrid played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final at Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring with an impressive goal, but Kevin De Bruyne answered back with an equally impressive strike to level the score.
The draw gives Manchester City a slight advantage, as they will have home advantage in the second leg. However, Real Madrid should not be underestimated, as they have a history of incredible comebacks. Last season, they lost the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals to Barcelona but won 4-0 in the second leg. Despite some pre-game talk of Manchester City dominating, Pep Guardiola reminded reporters of Real Madrid’s impressive record in the Champions League.
Fans can expect a close tie in the second leg, with Real Madrid’s experience at the highest level giving them a fighting chance.
