José Luis Sánchez Says What Many Think About Real Madrid-city: 'it Was a Night For...'

The journalist from 'El Chiringuito' points out that he wasn't entirely satisfied with Real Madrid's performance.

Real Madrid enjoyed after having been tremendously superior to Manchester City, but there is one thing that didn't please their fans too much. José Luis Sánchez, a journalist from El Chiringuito, explained it, emphasizing that it should have happened. Questioned about the Champions League clash, he was blunt.

"I'm not completely happy. Real Madrid did very well, Mbappé was extraordinary, but for me, letting these opportunities pass... Today was a night for Guardiola to take 6 from Bernabéu, it was a night for Guardiola to take a tremendous beating from Bernabéu," indicated José Luis Sánchez.

In this regard, he continued saying: "It was a night for him not to forget throughout his career, and Madrid has that thing of condescension, of not wanting to press the opponent too much, of not letting the wound bleed too much."

"We enjoyed a lot, a crushing superiority, but on these nights Madrid lacks bite. And Bernabéu also asked for a bit more, with the 3-0 they asked for another. Madrid was handling a puppet, that was City. It could have ended with 7: we enjoyed it, but the match left me with that feeling of seeing a City that scored 4 against you two years ago and was looking to hurt you. Today, with the 3-0, they lifted their foot off the gas and scored one in injury time," said José Luis Sánchez.

To conclude, he closed: "Madrid lets these nights pass, today you score 6 against City and Guardiola takes a beating. In the center of Spain, in the center of his state... You give him a blow and feel satisfied as God intended. It's the only little thing, it was a night for Real Madrid to return the favor."

Real Madrid Overcame City

Real Madrid was tremendously superior, able to decisively defeat Guardiola's team. Mbappé led the final result by scoring all three goals of the night at Bernabéu, and being the leader of this unbelievable squad.

The French forward experienced his great night as a Real Madrid player. And he experienced the dream that brought him to Bernabéu: to have European nights like this. City was a puppet in the hands of a superior Real Madrid. Nico dressed up the score at the end, but this has been a tie without history. Neither in Manchester nor in Madrid.

Many Real Madrid fans now think like José Luis Sánchez: it was necessary to go for more when everything was already decided. It was necessary to hurt Guardiola's City.
