Manchester City took the lead in the 9th minute after a very serious error by Varane in the exit of the ball. The French central defender allowed himself to be eaten by Gabriel Jesus inside the area and the Brazilian, smarter than anyone, gave the leather to Sterling to make it 1-0. Militao, who dived to avoid the goal but finally the ball entered.
Madrid had chosen to always go out with the ball played but the pressure from City has caused havoc. Sterling's goal does not change the picture, as Real Madrid still need two goals to force extra time at the Etihad.
Madrid, without ideas, need to change the dynamics of the game, which is going according to Guardiola's plans.
