Ancelotti believes in Real comeback “At the Bernabeu nothing is impossible”

Guardiola is pretactic: “To eliminate the Spaniards you need a perfect match” On the one hand the talent of Modric and Benzema, on the other the organization of the “citizen”

The final in Paris is well worth a good bit of healthy, old and worn pre-tactic. And that even two sacred monsters such as Carlo Ancelotti, the only coach to group Serie A, Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League and Ligue 1 plus three Champions, and Pep Guardiola, the visionary who makes news only when he does not win, it gives a little sense of what the second act is up for grabs, after the imaginative 4-3 of the first, of the colossal semifinal between Real Madrid, the team that has more cups with the big ears of all (13), and Manchester City, the one that craves to put the first on the bulletin board again.

Tonight ancelottians dressed in “blanco” and guards dressed in blue will not be able to share their seats at the Stade de France, as they did with the bigwigs of the next market unless there are twists and turns, the owners of the clubs Florentino Perez and Mansour: Mbappé al Real and Haaland at the City. Only one will sit in the final, in a showdown at the Bernabeu that will inevitably live on the reflected light of the previous episode.

The show will certainly not be missing, too simply summed up on the bill by the comparison between the Benzema-Modric phenomena and a fantastic collective, but Carletto and Pep will not skimp on calculations, each in their own style, just to get to checkers. «At the Bernabeu we can do anything – Ancelotti’s harangue – even if the 4-3 gives City a good advantage. Ours will be a difficult mission, but not impossible ». Also to be done with the return of Casemiro, the balancer of the median. «We are not sorry for the first leg – Guardiola’s reflection – but happy to have won it. Also because we knew that one game is not enough to eliminate Real, but two close to perfection are needed. And this time too we will try our way. The Clasico won 0-4 by Xavi’s Barça as a model to follow? I don’t think so, Benzema didn’t play ». The best leading actor, not only with 14 centers, of this edition of the Champions League. –
