MAN CITY MADE IT THRU DESPITE THE GRIDLOCK: Eyes On The Prize
Today was quit an amazing show down at Etihad as city welcome the guest in the champions league quarter finals
Personally I was scared of a draw match as this would placed city at a risk of fallen out during the second leg be it has it may all, of that changed during the second.
First half saw ATM playing a full squad defensive game, it was almost like a game played only on half field
The Spanish side played on a 5-3-2 xi which made it very difficult for city to break the barrier and find the net, despite all effort, carefully looking at the performances you doubt if it's truly the Atlético Madrid you knew or something's wrong, I for one was looking at a though game for the English club but well? Guess I was shocked
But then one man changes everything, Phil Foden works magic in breaking the barricade, has he ,Grealish and Jesus run off into the pitch at the 68th min.
In less than 20min into the pitch he found the perfect spot city has been searching for all along thru the gridlock
Found Kevin at a perfect opportunity which all made the difference,
Pep's smart incredible change gave him the lucky slot he so needed to secure his right spot at the league of champions
While we hope on a revenge play at Madrid come 13 April for the returning match let's believe that Guardiola's greatest dream ever since moving to the English club would be fulfilled by grabbing the trophy this time, despite what transpired with the blues last season I believe he won't let that happened, do well to let me know your thoughts on this
