Yes, the game ended in a draw now the second leg is at the Etihad Stadium and City grow there so we can expect them to have some advantage, but as you say you should never lower your arms against Real Madrid, because you saw what happened to them last year in the semi-final against them in the last minutes.
Yes exactly last season was a surprise to everybody. I don't a coach like Pep Guardiola will ever forget such a dramatic turn around.
If Mancity can edge out real madrid, they should be able to win it this season. Since the last one he won with barcelona many years ago, Pep Guardiola has not been able to win the champions league despite being one of the best football manager for this decade.
Real Madrid have won Champions Leagues against all odds quite a bit, so it would be fallacious to count them out in any way. This match is a really nail-biting one, because of the form and quality of the players on the pitch, among other factors.
I feel that he has to nip the unenviable reputation that he has garnered of failing in the Champions League outside of Barcelona in the bud. This is his best chance to do so, if I am being honest with you.
Yes, you are right. Pep has to win champions league this season, and he himself know it. Though his opponent real madrid is very good, he must find a way to qualify for final. If he didn't win the uefa champions league this season, it'll be hard for him to win it again.
There is definitely much more pressure on him to win the Champions League this particular season , mainly because of the acquisition of star striker Haaland who is expected to fire them to glory.
Haaland may be the key card that gives City the trophy, but for example in the first leg against Real Madrid he was very absent, also because defender Antonio Rudiger was following him very closely and preventing him from attacking easily, so in the second leg he will have to act better if he wants to give Manchester City the title this year
He was marked with great care and the defenders watched him like a hawk. This is a test he will have to overcome, though, by pulling away the defenders and giving space to other players who can run from behind to join the attack.
