Kevin De Bruyne’s master class against Real Madrid helped Manchester City secure an important away win with 2 goals to the good. The win against the Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu was a moment of relief for Pep Guardiola against all his accumulated situations.
The important win against Real Madrid could also benefit the future of Barcelona for good. After the game, Quique Setien and Eder Sarabia visited Guardiola at the team hotel to congratulate him on the teams’ victory, according to Don Balon.
Both the coaches believe in the Johan Cruyff philosophy of possession and apart from their common managerial beliefs both the managers get on very well outside the pitch as well.
Quique Setien took the opportunity to refine his strategy with the help of Guardiola that he will use in his first-ever El Clasico that will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. The El Clasico on Sunday can mark a turning point in the conquest of La Liga if either of the team clinches 3 points.
Setien will try to repeat Pep’s tactics at the Bernabeu, however, times now are different and it is unsure whether those same tactics in the early 2010s would still work. The former Real Betis manager also has a limited squad to chose from as well.
