Pep Guardiola paid dearly for the risky decision
Pep Guardiola admitted, he risked using Kyle Walker from the beginning against Real Madrid, but then Man City still suffered the painful ending of leaving the game.
Man City once again missed an appointment with the top of the Champions League when they were suddenly beaten down by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Until the 89th minute, Pep’s army was still leading the opponent with a total score of 5-3. However, the appearance of the “genius” Rodrygo completely changed the face of the encounter.
Only 2 minutes quickly, the young Brazilian talent continuously tore Ederson’s net to bring the match to the starting line. Then into extra time, Benzema hit the finishing blow to defeat the “green” Man on the penalty spot.
Obviously, the fact that Kyle Walker had to leave the field early from the 73rd minute due to injury recurrence was a landmark moment.
The English right-back “captured” Vinicius most of his time on the pitch. However, since Walker was substituted, a big hole appeared under Man City’s defense.
Before the match, Guardiola admitted, he was forced to risk using Walker even though his students had not fully recovered, so he could not fully anticipate the risk when Man City was painfully eliminated.
The Spanish military leader will have to spend another season missing the appointment with the prestigious Champions League trophy, which he has never done when leading Man City.
Of course, Guardiola will not give up, because he continues to plan a long-term stay with The Citizens, with the promotion of blockbuster transfer Erling Haaland next summer.
However, Pep Guardiola has always been obsessed with conquering the top of Europe. In the past few seasons, the “green” Man has repeatedly collapsed on the threshold of heaven.
