The words are strong: “1% luck”. It is in these terms that Pep Guardiola qualified the rating of his team to win a qualification for the round of 16 of the
Champions League On the field of Real Madrid. After his defeat at the Etihad Stadium after a incredible scenario (2-3), the champion of England is at the foot of the wall.
Guardiola will therefore have to make very strong choices to reverse the situation at the Bernabeu. And it is on the offensive level that his decisions will certainly be decisive. Two clear options are available to the Spanish technician for this second round in Spain.
Guardiola ready to reshape his attack?
The first would perhaps be the most risky, finally: it would consist in betting on continuity compared to the first leg. Erling Haaland had been supported by a quartet composed of Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grenish and Savinho.
But there is a high probability that Guardiola opts for another choice by incorporating Omar Marmoush into this offensive line. Author of a resounding hat-trick last weekend, the Egyptian international recruited this winter is qualified to play this match. Will he be aligned from the outset? Foden, who also applies to a place of holder, will he find the eleven? On this puzzle will depend in particular the European future of City.
