AI Recap

What happened

Madrid scored at 20', 27', and 42' through Valverde, then controlled the second half without losing the clean sheet even after Vinicius had a penalty saved.

Why it mattered

The 3-0 result shows how a side can lose the possession and corner count, yet still dominate the actual danger by attacking open space more cleanly.

After halftime

City pushed more bodies forward and ended with 60% possession, but Madrid used fresh midfield legs and a deeper block to protect the box and break the rhythm.
