Pep Had A Tactical Problem, Madrid Exploited It

Arbeloa probably watching this video thinking - "Damn didn't think like that"

“Forcing Courtois, who’s not renowned as a ball-playing goalkeeper, to play safe and go long instead” => Courtois gets an assist instead XD

Playing with 4 attacks was a bold but very fatal move

Why did Pep put lone dm (Rodri) against basically 2 or 3 roaming attacking midfielders between the line???

When you're a coach Pep has never faced before, you always have a chance to stun him in your first meeting

Simply masterclass performance from Fede valverde 😍

Everyone ruled them out...but Arbeloa had other plans, completely outplayed Pep.

The entire point of Pep tactics throughout the years is to overload opponent midfields. When Pep's own midfield gets overloaded, I don't even know what the point is anymore. He doesn't have good off the ball setups and set pieces are useless in his phylosophy.

pep surely loves that diamond shape a lot.

Pep line up was a disrespect to Madrid

Arbeloa beating tactically Guardiola???!!!

Thiago Pitarch, what a baller!!

Genuinely one of the best individual performances by Valverde both offensively and defensively.

City going out of the CL because of Pep's overthinking for the 937th time, just play your best XI for once you baldy! Thats what he did when they won the treble

Guardiola got tactically whooped by arbeloa 😂

This was just awful from the big man Pep to the players. I am a City fan, but this was unacceptable. No Cheki, no Foden and Haaland just 10 touches. surely we have to do something come the reverse match at the Etihad.

Guardiola is a finished man since the beginning of last season.

World class video once more ❤
