Steve Nicol has raised concerns about Manchester City’s potential weak link in their upcoming match against Real Madrid. Despite Real Madrid’s previous loss to City, they will be aiming to exploit any weaknesses. However, with players like Rodri in the lineup, City’s flaws may not be as significant as some may think. Rodri, who was rested in their recent game, is expected to return to form and provide stability to the team.
One player who has been singled out as a potential weakness is Jack Grealish, with some suggesting his difficulties in beating defenders could be exploited by Real Madrid. However, Grealish’s effectiveness lies in his ability to maintain possession and control the game, which could be crucial for City against a strong opponent. On the other hand, concerns have been raised about Ruben Dias’ performances, with Steve Nicol suggesting he could struggle defensively against Real Madrid’s attackers.
Despite criticism of Ruben Dias’ performances, he has proven to be reliable in big games for Manchester City. The possibility of Manuel Akanji replacing Dias in the lineup to provide more pace against Real Madrid’s attackers is being considered. Pep Guardiola’s decision on the defensive lineup for the match will be crucial, as they aim to secure a victory against a tough opponent.
