And here we are. Big frailties in the timing of the pressure, defensive line exposed and without timing. Total disasterclass.

The flow of the Manchester City match tonight is quite equal to the matches lost at Lisbon and against Tottenham. Tonight the events moved towards the right way for Citizens thanks to the penalty at the end of the first half. The lack of synchronization in the first pressure phase is still there..

Chelsea structure in possession had limit in the previous match since the right half-space was given to Malo Gusto. Today the structure is change moving Cucurella to give width on the left while the half-spaces are now occupied by Joao Felix and Palmer. This is improving a lot the ball circulation.

I don't think this is the right way to play against Bayern. 5-3-2 and low-block defense can be useful to limit the opponent attacking phase but if there is no purpose when you have the ball you just have to wait the moment in which they will punish you. And this happened.
