Real Madrid coach is happy!

Man City made bad decisions

Striker Erling Haaland scored twice for Man City, including the opening goal in the 19th minute to make it 1-0 and the second from the penalty spot in the 80th minute. These goals were supposed to give Man City an advantage over rivals Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League play-off round. But they wasted it due to mistakes in defense.

Coach Pep Guardiola is not happy when Man City wasted a victory within reach

In which, striker Mbappe equalized 1-1 for Real Madrid in the 60th minute, Brahim Diaz equalized 2-2 in the 86th minute, before Jude Bellingham sealed the 3-2 victory for the away team in the 90+2 minute.

In these goals, Man City's midfield and defense once again revealed too many mistakes, allowing Real Madrid players to take advantage of scoring opportunities to dramatically reverse the situation.

"It's happened many times this season. Many times. It's just bad decisions, that's all," coach Pep Guardiola expressed in a not-so-happy mood on Prime Video Sport channel after the match.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti affirmed: "We deserved to win. That was the right way. The season has just started again for us."

According to coach Ancelotti, in the return match, Real Madrid will have the services of two key players, Toni Rudiger and David Alaba, in defense. "We need them," said the experienced Italian strategist.

Through that, this coach also expressed great confidence that Real Madrid will finish off Man City in the second leg at 3am on February 20 to win a ticket to the round of 16 of the Champions League.

In the other Champions League play-off first legs, PSG notably beat Brest 3-0 to put one foot in the next round. Similarly, Dortmund beat Sporting Lisbon also 3-0. In the remaining match, Juventus beat PSV 2-1.
