Madrid is best team in the world at creating chances with 3-4 passes. Here is where players like Modric can make a difference, he really has a perfectly weighted pass.
But they really ride their luck because defensively they are shit. It's not like they absorbed City's press and hit them on the counter. They basically got outplayed and were lucky enough to have City miss 2-3 near sitters.
Indeed. They are clinical, or rather were today. They had their moments of momentum to be fair, but each time it looked like it was building- City went 2 up. At 2-1, 3-2 and then at 4-3 it was even.
Oh how we would kill for an attacking player like Vini this season. I'm not just talking about his goal, but the way he can link up, dribble with pace and is fantastic In small spaces. Everything Dembele lacks.
And Benzema, no words are needed.
