Guardiola’s Great Fear 2 Days Before the Second Leg Against Real Madrid

In Manchester, they consider that the physical wear and tear will be immense, and extra time would be lethal for the home team. The ‘citizen’ coach fears Real Madrid, and the white dressing room will compete like true warriors.

Real Madrid and Manchester City drew (3-3) in an ode to world football and delivered a beautiful spectacle of goals and excitement to a crowd, the Santiago Bernabéu’s, which did not disappoint and, as always on big European nights, rose to the occasion from minute one. Even before, with a reception at the Sacred Hearts to the first team’s bus that was simply spectacular.

The match corresponding to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals did not disappoint, and all expectations placed on it were met. It was a clash like those of yesteryear between two teams that are probably the most important at the moment. At least, the most dominant in their respective countries and, above all, those that provide an extra interest in the Old Continent.

The return leg, which will be played this Wednesday at the Etihad, captures all the attention of the football world, and both City, which won (5-1) this Saturday against Luton and has taken the lead in the Premier League ahead of stumbles from Arsenal and Liverpool, and Madrid, whose match was hard-fought against Mallorca at Son Moix (0-1), are preparing to delight us with another unparalleled spectacle in the profession.

The extremely tight tie has been analyzed in recent days on various football talk shows across the country. In this regard, according to discussions between journalists Antonio Romero and Julio Pulido on ‘El Sanedrín,’ from Cadena SER, Ancelotti’s team arrives very much alive at the Etihad. Furthermore, they believe that Guardiola thinks physical fatigue could affect the ‘citizens,’ especially if extra time is forced, which is highly likely.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid will compete as fiercely as ever to secure a spot in the Champions League semi-finals this season. “City put Madrid in trouble without Walker and De Bruyne, now that they have recovered them, they will put them in even more trouble. However, if there is one team Guardiola and City fear, it’s Real Madrid,” concluded Pulido, editor of the legendary ‘Los Manolos’ program on Cuatro, led by Manolo Lama and Manu Carreño.
