Manchester City players have scheduled a day off, just 24 hours prior to their crucial Champions League encounter with Real Madrid. Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that manager Pep Guardiola opted for a rest day for the team, strategically timed ahead of the return fixture. This decision precedes the eighth round of the European competition.
The rescheduled match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is slated for Tuesday, March 17th. The initial game, played at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, resulted in a substantial defeat for the English side, concluding with a score of 3-0. Despite this considerable deficit, City intends to pursue a challenging recovery at the “Etihad” stadium.
The aim is to maintain a slim possibility of qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals. This particular action represents the last time Guardiola implemented this strategy. The team recognizes the magnitude of the task ahead, acknowledging the need for a focused approach as they prepare for this vital contest.
