City are so so sooo soft yet. Can't react to adversity at all. Liverpool on the other hand play with truly impressive confidence. Only team that really scares me left in this competition. Fecking city
Madrid is the side best equipped to stop this Liverpool team. People grossly underestimate Madrid's ability to organise defensively. It will be relatively straightforward for Madrid to copy what we did to Liverpool a month ago. There's still enough Mourinho DNA in your team and Zidane isn't some sort of football idealist who will insist on playing open, possession football and provide Liverpool space to counter into.
What we're seeing tonight is basically a repeat of what Ancelotti's Madrid did to Pep's Bayern. Madrid's greatness arises from the fact that, unlike Barcelona, Madrid's dogma is not tiki taki its winning. If Madrid defends compactly so Liverpool can't counter, then counters itself using the pace you have e.g. Asensio, Vasquez, Ronaldo, Bale etc. Madrid will easily beat Liverpool. We only had Rashford on the pitch as an outlet and we dealt with them comfortably. Salah didn't even have a shot on target.
