New deals are City's weapon for a comeback against Real

Manchester City, led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, are armed with new deals in the hope of achieving a historic comeback against their rival Real Madrid in the Champions League, in the anticipated summit scheduled to be held at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium on Wednesday evening in the second leg of the play-off qualifying for the round of sixteen. After losing the first leg 3-2 to the royal team, the Citizens find themselves facing a tough challenge in the second leg of the play-off round, but they are holding on to some hope, which appeared last Saturday, when coach Guardiola's team managed to achieve a big victory in the English Premier League over Newcastle 4-0, thanks to the brilliance of the new Egyptian signing Omar Marmoush, who scored a hat-trick in just 14 minutes. In an attempt to save a difficult season for the English Premier League title holder for the past four seasons, Manchester City's management spent about 170 million pounds to contract several new names, most notably the Egyptian Omar Marmoush, the Uzbek Abdulkadir Khusanov, the Spaniard Nico Gonzalez, and the Brazilian Vitor Reis. However, Marmoush was the only player to feature in the first leg against Real Madrid, coming on in the 84th minute, a decision Guardiola may regret greatly. However, things looked different in the Newcastle match, where Marmoush, Khusanov, and Gonzalez played key roles in the crushing win, giving the team its best performance of the season. This great victory gives Manchester City a huge morale boost ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid, as the team seeks to exploit the brilliance of its new players to turn the tables on the Spanish giants, and achieve a comeback that will lead it to continue its journey in the tournament.
