"Now, not much. Of course we're going to try. We will read what to do better and be more active in the final third and we will try."
"How many times has Nico O'Reilly played left back this season? How many times? The only adjustment was Khusanov in that area because Vinicius arrives in those areas and you have to control that."
Manchester City suffered a devastating 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League first leg at Santiago Bernabeu, with Federico Valverde scoring a hat trick in just 22 minutes of the first half. Pep Guardiola acknowledged City's slim prospects of advancing to the quarterfinals, stating they have "not much" chance of turning the tie around. The City manager made several tactical changes, including starting Jeremy Doku, Savinho, and Abdukodir Khusanov, while moving Nico O'Reilly from midfield to left-back. O'Reilly's error contributed to Valverde's opening goal. Despite Gianluigi Donnarumma saving a penalty from Vinicius Junior in the second half, City's hopes of qualifying for the last-eight remain critically endangered ahead of the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.
