Analysis, controversy, comments and reactions of City – Atlético | Champions League

Pep Guardiola comes out with everything. It has men capable of creating spaces against the strongest defenses. De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling and Mahrez play. A sort of Fantastic Four, each with a characteristic talent. The vision of the Belgian, the leadership of the Portuguese, the drive of the English and the technique of the Algerian. If Atletico manage to keep them at bay, City can still pull in the likes of Foden and Grealish, who will start the match on the bench. Rodrigo will once again be in charge of greasing the citizen gear, his task is to battle with whoever is needed as long as his fellow attackers start the plays in a good position. The main doubt in Guardiola’s eleven is on the wings. Nathan Aké could act in the left, and that Laporte is accompanied in the center by Stones. Or that the English is the one who tries to cover Lodi on the right. Cancelo, a versatile player where they exist, will adapt to the decision made by Pep. You can play on the left or on the right.
