Evil empires collide tonight, in the excellent tie of Champions League matchweek 6. Xabi Alonso, called in for talks with club president Florentino Perez, illustrates where Real Madrid are right now, but they have had goals with Man City in recent years and the defining image of their last clash was Kylian Mbappe’s on Josko Guardiol.
Man City have signed so many players over the past 12 months that Pep Guardiola, the ultimate philosophy coach, appears to have shelved any attempt to stamp his signature on the team’s playing style, with individual brilliance up front through Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku, and at the back through Nico O’Reilly and Gianluigi in place of Donnarum.
Some chemistry now seems to be developing between Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki, which is more than can be said for Real Madrid’s midfield. Los Blancos lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo at the weekend, with both goals coming directly from Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni’s lack of track.
On each occasion, they simply stood by and watched Real Madrid’s back line become more and more congested. The prevailing narrative is that Madrid were so used to whistling under Carlo Ancelotti that pockets of the dressing room actively oppose Alonso’s methodical approach, and one win in five league games does nothing to counter that. Perez is not known for his patience.
