Manchester City drew 3-3 with Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final first leg, with Spanish media reacting to the tactical battle between Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti
Manchester City fought back from difficult situations against a strong Real Madrid side in a raucous Santiago Bernabeu and crucially avoided defeat heading into next week’s Champions League second leg.
After a barnstorming first leg, the Manchester Evening News has taken a look at how the Spanish media has reacted to the result. "Manchester City is a changeable team like few others. The alternatives available to him, motivated in large part by the number of talented players he brings together in all lines of the field, allow Guardiola to disrupt his plans without the team losing its essence because of it.
The Italian coach decided to change some things about his ideal eleven before Guardiola 's visit . He exchanged the positions of Rodrygo and Vinicius, heeled the '11' to the left and centered the '7', defended in a 4-2-3-1 and chose Tchouaméni to accompany Rüdiger in the center of the defence. If we analyse only the first minute, it turned out horrible.
