Manchester City was helpless against Liverpool in the first leg of UCL quarterfinals when Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain scored to seal a 3-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s side.
Although first match finished 3-0, this is the only clash that is still interesting to follow.
We can say for sure that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich will reach semifinals. But what about Manchester City?
Here are 3 important things Guardiola should do in order to make fantastic comeback.
1.Sergio Aguero should start
Gabriel Jesus showed he’s not ready to compete with Virgil Van Dijk. Dutch defender was outstanding in the first leg, but Sergio Aguero can surely suggest more problems for the defender. Argentine international loves to score against England top teams. Kun scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists since he joined Manchester City in 2011. Aguero has one advantage that Jesus haven’t still developed. He is able to find comfortable positions to dribble, shoot or assist even in the hardest situations.
2.De Bruyne+Sane
The only positive thing that happened in the first leg, was Kevin De Bruyne’s collaboration with Leroy Sane. Moreover, the second half has shown that KDB knows when to pass to Sane so that the latest can be in a position to create danger for opponents. Trent Alexander-Arnold was outstanding against Sane, but German international will have his chances to score or assist. Guardiola should give more concentration of attacking to the left wing.
3.Liverpool isn’t mentally balanced
The only thing that prevents Jurgen Klopp to reach titles in Liverpool is the lack of mental balance. If Manchester City scores early goal, things will become easier, because under the pressure of fans Liverpool can lost concentration. No doubt, Guardiola’s team will try to score a goal within the first 15 minutes.
