Real Madrid Could Sack Carlo Ancelotti /getty images

There will be QUESTIONS!’ What went wrong for Real Madrid vs. Man City? | UCL Reaction. SportsFila Believes Real Madrid Could Sack Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid’s plan was obvious from minute 1. Counter attack. But this time City were prepared. They learned from their mistakes last season. Instead of pressing like madmen,they actually pressed conservatively. That made the difference in this tie. Real Madrid didn’t have another gameplan apart from counter attacking, and when they couldn’t achieve that, they looked clueless.

Carlo Ancelotti insists he DOESN’T expect to be sacked by Real Madrid after humiliating defeat by Man City… as he claims he ‘will be here to fight to win the Champions League’ next season despite speculation linking him with Brazil

Apparently Carlo Ancelotti only watched the replay of Leeds 2-1 loss at the Ettihad under Sam Allardyce as preparation for this match. He felt playing like Leeds would give them the best chance possible in this tie. AC Milan fans are celebrating into the early hours as it turns out they weren’t the worst team in the semi finals. hahah

Haaland Hoping for Ballon d’Or After Taking City Champions League Glory

City is just too good for Real Madrid, they were completely non-existent which is unacceptable, and playing Camvinga at left back and benching Rudiger was another tactical error.

  • Real Madrid exited the Champions League in humiliating fashion to Man City
  • There has been speculation about the future of Carlo Ancelotti in recent months

It has been coming. We all expected this. Remember that game last season against PSG in Paris when Real totally went missing. They somehow rode their luck quite magnificently last season but they have never dominated games. They have no depth. They depend on individual brilliance. Madrid need fullbacks, a brilliant goal scorer like Harry kane/Mbape. They also need a coach with a unique philosophy who can read the game and can invent and implement a certain tactic. Anceloti should have played Tchomeni and Cama both in the middle. Rudiger should have started but still City would definitely win. I think Madrid would have been a little bit better with those young legs in the middle of the park.

HAALAND SHACKLED

The second leg against Manchester City was Ancelotti’s 191st as a manager in the Champions League, which takes him ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson as having the most appearances in the competition.

Why Real Madrid Could Sack Carlo Ancelotti

However, it was a night to forget for Ancelotti, who acknowledged that Man City were far the better team on the night, as per La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We have lost to a team with more quality & more intensity than us. Last year we were superior, and this year they were superior. It’s a defeat that hurts a lot. They’ve been much better, there’s no other choice but to think about next season.”

Ancelotti was also bullish when asked about his future, and he full expects to be on the Real Madrid bench next season.

“Next season, I will be here to fight to win another Champions League,

“No one doubts me. I think the president was very clear 15 days ago. What he tells me in private, I’m not going to say here.” SportsFila.com reports.

Congrats: Guardiola 100% Going to Win Champions League with Haaland

Real Madrid’s attention will now turn towards next season, although they still have a fight on their hands to keep second place out of the grasp of Atletico Madrid.

CITY made RM’s older players look older, they didn’t have the legs to chase them down.
CITY have that BARCA quality of retaining the ball, making you run around like a headless chicken, mimicking a dog chasing an invisible stick.

City blew Real Madrid away on Tuesday and won 4-0 on the night and 5-1 overall on aggregate

Ancelotti has also been linked with the vacant Brazil job with the south American nation reportedly seeing him as their primary target to replace Tite who left following the World Cup.

But when asked about his future after the City defeat, the Italian insisted he would keep his job and use the painful loss as motivation for next season.

Carlo Ancelotti vs Zidane

‘We have lost to a team with more quality and more intensity than us,’ he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

‘Last year we were superior, and this year they were superior. It’s a defeat that hurts a lot. They’ve been much better, there’s no other choice but to think about next season.

‘Next season, I will be here to fight to win another Champions League.

‘No one doubts me. I think the president was very clear 15 days ago. What he tells me in private, I’m not going to say here.’

Despite the defeat, it was a historic night for Ancelotti given it was his 191st game as a manager in the Champions League, meaning he surpassed Sir Alex Ferguson’s record of 190 matches in the competition.

How Title Pretenders Arsenal Disappointed Their Fans

The 63-year-old remains one of the greatest managers of the modern era, winning a combined four European Cups with Real Madrid and AC Milan.

Across two spells with Los Blancos, he has won 10 trophies and 167 of his 232 games in charge.

Benzema can’t do it all by himself. He did everything he could. He held the ball up and provided perfectly weighted passes and lay-offs to help his team in the build up. In a game where they were dominated, he still completed more than double the number of passes that Haaland completed. Benzema is a great footballer, but of course they’re always going to point to him and pin some of the blame on him. Total nonsense. He did absolutely everything he could., and he was visibly annoyed walking off the pitch.

United ON THE BRINK of Champions League exit thanks to Onana

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.

Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm

Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.

7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time

As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit

Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.

I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.

Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know

Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.

Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?

Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk

United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

Copenhagen Post-Match Onana and Maguire heroes after dramatic win

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.

If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.

Tottenham Topping the Premier League table

It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.

He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Eriksen great performance in Man Utd UCL win!

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.

Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.

What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?

The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.

We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
