⚔️ TACTICAL ANALYSIS

RB Leipzig — 4-3-3
Expect aggressive pressing, quick vertical transitions and attacks down the wings. Antonio Nusa and Brajan Gruda can exploit space behind City’s full-backs, while Romulo provides a central target.

Manchester City — 4-2-3-1
City should dominate possession and look to create overloads through midfield. Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki can find pockets between the lines, with Erling Haaland leading the attack.

KEY PLAYER BATTLE

• Antonio Nusa: Leipzig’s pace and one-on-one threat.
• Brajan Gruda: creativity and attacking movement.
• Phil Foden: City’s link between midfield and attack.
