Zidane and Varane, the great portraits of Madrid's European failure

The Real Madrid had a night to forget in the Etihad Stadium and finish sucumbiendo against a Manchester City that it was better from beginning to end. The whites had the extention to shot during quite a lot to minutes, but finished falling by 2-1 after two errors of bulto of Raphael Varane. The central French was the big signalled of the whites on the field, but there was another madridista that remained even more portrayed that his compatriot.

Zinedine Zidane​ remained totally portrayed by Pep Guardiola once again and did not give one to rights in all the meeting. Already in the gone, the Frenchman was very underneath of the Catalan in the tactical and went the big signalled of his team, but in this turn this noticed even more. The technician merengue went out without plan to the field and the City undressed to the Madrid from practically the first minute of game.

The English went out to presionar up, as it already did in the gone, and the French trainer went out without plan to counter this. A terrible error of Varane by fault of this pressure propició the 1-0 of the 'cityzens', but this could go to more if Courtois does not arrive to have the day. The Madrid had countless errors in the exit of balloon by the discomfort with which played by fault of the ones of Manchester and if it did not lose by more was by the Belgian and by some interception saviour of Militao or Casemiro.

There were players that did not give the level in the first time, as for example Luka Modric or Eden Hazard and the crash asked changes to the rest. But 'Zizou' did not seem to see the same that the rest of the world and no only did not do replacements, but it neither changed at all in the tactical. This did that the City followed dominating to his antojo in the second time, whereas the whites, that this Friday dressed of rose, followed suffering with the pressure of his rivals and in attack hardly created at all.

The marsellés was a tactical horror and made a management of abysmal field even in the first change that did. Around the hour of party, still with 1-1, took out to Marco Asensio by a Rodrygo that was being the most harmful footballer of the ones of Concha Spine beside Karim Benzema. A change that few understood and that did not have any effect in the crash, since the Majorcan hardly took part in the half hour that contested.

Zidane did not do changes until the minute 83

But that was not the elder sinsentido of Zidane, since the Frenchman decided to postpone his following changes until the 83. The City put the 2-1 in the 68 by fault of another failure of Varane, that closed his worst night like madridista. But the technician no inmutó and preferred to expect a chamber of hour to do retouch something and look for alternatives. In this time, a Madrid that carried asking changes from the rest, practically did not hurt to the 'cityzens'.

'Zizou' Put in the field to Luka Jovic, Fede Valverde and Lucas Vázquez when it was missing less than ten minutes for the end and everything was seen for sentence. While, Vinicius, one of the best of the merengues after the stop, was still in the terracing of the Etihad and not even went out to heat. Another decision inexplicable of a Zidane that went back to remain portrayed and even did that many madridistas left in a second flat the two errors of Varane.
