“Manchester City is the most easiest team to play in the champions League, the are just overhyped nothing more with Thier flop Erling Haaland- Federico Valverde now shares which team he thinks actually play better football
Fede Valverde talked about which team, Real Madrid or Manchester City, was playing better football going into the second match.
In a way, Valverde is talking about which team has played better football for most of the season.
One reason for this is that, unlike Real Madrid, Manchester City has not been the best team in their league this season.
It looked like Pep Guardiola’s team at the Etihad Stadium would win on Wednesday.
From what the official website of the Champions League says, the numbers do not lie.
The number of tackles Manchester City made was 120, while Real Madrid only managed 19.

Valverde talks about which team plays better football: Real Madrid or Manchester City
Also, the Sky Blues made 865 passes that night, while the Spanish giants only made 402.
There is no doubt that City dominated the game against Carlo Ancelotti’s team based on the odds.
You don’t play football on a score sheet, though.
In the end, the game is all about getting results.
The big Spanish teams took advantage and made it to the finish line, which is why they deserve all the praise that is going their way.
But it would be unfair to be too hard on City because they played well enough to win, and in the end, luck is a big part of who wins a spot shootout.
After the game, Federico Valverde said that Manchester City was playing better football than Real Madrid before the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal.
“Madrid always comes through; that’s football.” The other team was bigger, played better football than us, and was the favorite going into the game. But we’re Madrid, so we dug in, played great defense, and fought hard. He said that on Real Madrid’s website, “That’s how we won the game.”
It’s telling that Valverde said that.
To begin, the fact that Federico Valverde, a defender for Real Madrid, said such a thing shows that some of the best players in the world value Manchester City.
A player for a big club like Los Merengues probably won’t say that another team played better football than them.
Valverde did, though, and we respect him for being honest.
At the same time, the Uruguayan’s appointment shows that Real Madrid only wants to win. City has a similar mindset, but they also think about how they want to play a lot more than their European rivals.
This way of thinking about sports is just because the two clubs have different ways of life.
