RE: The surprise at Santiago de Bernabeu. Real Madrid 3-1 Manchester City (agg 6-5) || Real Madrid to face Liverpool in UCL-2022 Finals at Paris.
In the finals, it is going to be another Spanish team facing another English team.
Am pleased it is at leased 2 sides from different leagues, we have been at least saved from the noise of the English teams being the best and all that bla bla bla. hahaha
Mahrez put them in front.
The space City got from the middle to progress with the ball into madrids goal surprised me a lot. It was too easy and I think when Mahrez took his shot Mendy was blocking coutois which kindda made it hard for him to save even though it was near where he was standing
Rodrygo converting Benzema crossing into the net. Just 91 seconds later the same Rodrygo converted a crossing that was floated inside with his head this time putting them at the same level as Man City.
If Rodrygo had started this match he would have had a bad game, he seems to always have a good game when he comes on as a sub.
If i were him I will prefer being a super sub in this super team rather than wanting a place in the starting line up.
For the two side finals it is great.
Some players are good when you start them from the bench, just like Elanga at Man United he is good from the bench as compared to his starts. However everyone wants to get enough playing time hence will not agree to be started from the bench. Now that he is getting the playing time too things are not good.
Some coaches are also afraid to start players who performed in their previous matches from the bench from the bench again. All this are contributing factors.
