The Citizens made a good start to the match in Madrid, scoring a goal in the second minute of the game. However, Real quickly not only equalized but also took the lead. In the middle of the second half, “City,” thanks to two crazy goals from Foden and Guardiola, turned the tide of the match; however, they couldn’t leave the Santiago Bernab?u with a victory. Over the weekend, Pep Guardiola’s team predictably had no problems in their home match against Luton, defeating one of their opponents 5-1. Moreover, their competitors for the gold medals, Liverpool and Arsenal, unexpectedly stumbled in their home matches. This allowed “City” to rise to the top of the table with a two-point lead.
The “Los Blancos” received a cold shower at the start of the home match against Manchester City. Andriy Lunin, who did a lot for the final victory in the previous stage against Leipzig, made a mistake in setting up the wall and conceded a bizarre goal from a free-kick in the 2nd minute. It’s worth noting that Real quickly scored two goals and took the lead, but they couldn’t secure the win. Furthermore, in the middle of the second half, “Los Blancos” conceded two fantastic goals, which Carlo Ancelotti called “unstoppable.” In the 79th minute, Valverde equalized the score, but now it is “City” who are the favorites in the showdown. Over the weekend, Real played an away match against Mallorca, winning 1-0. The “Whites” lead La Liga, eight points ahead of Barcelona.
