Manchester –
Kyle Walker had a big hand in the victory Manchester City above Real Madrid 4-0. Walker revealed, Madrid is too dependent on Vinicius Junior.
Man City hosted Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in the semifinals of the second leg Liga ChampionsThursday (18/5) early morning WIB. The Citizens ravaged the reigning champions through goals from Bernardo Silva (2), Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez to qualify for the final 5-1 on aggregate.
Walker became one of the best performers in the match. The Man City right-back successfully eliminated Vinicius Junior. As a result, the Madrid striker did not create any chances, shot at the target, or did a successful dribble.
“You must [arogan] like the attackers. I’m very confident in my speed and in one-on-one duels. I was bigger than him and I thought I should use my physical advantage,” said Walker after the match.
“He’s a fantastic player but I have to use my strengths. I make it as difficult for him as I can.”
Vinicius Junior has recorded 23 goals and 21 assists for Real Madrid in the 2022/2023 season. The contribution of the young Brazilian winger has made him the most influential player in his team beyond Karim Benzema, who has scored 29 goals and six assists.
Walker considered that Real Madrid’s attack relied too much Vinicius Junior. It is undeniable that Madrid as a whole has difficulties against Man City. Carlo Ancelotti’s team only made 7 attempts (3 on target), with the best chance only being Toni Kroos’ shot which hit the crossbar in the first half.
“One thing I really like about my team is that all the players have a role and responsibility. Of course we have Jack [Grealish]Kevin [De Bruyne]then Erling [Haaland]but there are no superstars and that allows us to compete without entrusting everything to one player.”
“Madrid have a lot of great players, but Vinicius is their best player. Once you stop him, do they have a plan B?” Walker’s words were launched Football-Espana.
