Real Madrid dismantled Manchester City 3-0, but it wasn't easy. Pep Guardiola’s tactical trap initially left Trent Alexander-Arnold exposed against the lightning-fast Jeremy Doku.

The solution? Federico Valverde.

By shifting to a hybrid defensive role, Valverde neutralized Doku’s threat. Once the defense stabilized, the Uruguayan engine pivoted to offense, unleashing a stunning hat-trick to seal a dominant, game-changing victory.
