themanchestereveningnews--2020-02-24--The nine upgrades Man City have made since last Real Madrid meeting

Two visits , two defeats .
Manchester City ’ s Champions League record at Real Madrid is not encouraging .
But the Blues were three minutes away from a famous victory at the Bernabeu in 2012 , before two late goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo saw them go down 3-2 .
And in the semi-final in 2016 , the Blues remarkably only lost by a solitary goal despite having a centre-back pairing of Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi up against Benzema , Ronaldo and Gareth Bale for 80 minutes .
That semi-final is a decent yardstick for City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pep Guardiola , as Real – apart from losing superstar Ronaldo – have barely changed .
The Blues are significantly different in terms of manpower , set-up and mentality from that team , which was distinctly second-best over the two legs and was grateful to two typically defiant Joe Hart displays in goal to keep the score down .
So how will the team Guardiola puts out on Wednesday compare , man for man , with that which lost to Bale ’ s deflected goal nearly four years ago ?
Ederson ( Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s best player over two legs , producing some stunning stops to keep the Blues alive in the tie .
Ederson has not had a game like that , but his footballing ability is clearly the best fit for the modern City .
Kyle Walker ( Bacary Sagna ) – the power and thrust Walker provides is superior to Sagna ’ s more measured game , attacking-wise .
Sagna had an edge in defensive terms .
Fernandinho ( Vincent Kompany ) – the Belgian ’ s injury jinx struck him just ten minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an all-rounder , he would be a better bet than Fernandinho , even though the Brazil international has made a real fist of his new centre-back role .
Aymeric Laporte ( Nicolas Otamendi ) – the Argentine was a better defender four years ago , but he was not close to Laporte , who is rugged without being occasionally reckless , and whose cultured left foot is a potent attacking weapon .
Benjamin Mendy ( Gael Clichy ) – Both left backs who play on the front foot , but Mendy has an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crossing ability .
Rodri ( Fernando ) – Fernando was introduced for extra defensive security , but he was never the kind of anchor which Rodri provides to today ’ s City .
Raheem Sterling ( Fernandinho ) – different formations meant there had to be one odd match-up !
Fernandinho was second fiddle to Yaya in 2016 , while Sterling , who went on as a sub in that game , has blossomed into a top-notch match-winner .
Riyad Mahrez ( Jesus Navas ) – Mahrez could get the nod after his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a better range than knock-and-go winger Navas .
David Silva ( Yaya Toure ) – Silva was injured for the 2016 game , a huge blow at the time , and the 2020 version is not quite at the height of his powers , while Toure was the ultimate big-game player .
Kevin De Bruyne ( Kevin De Bruyne ) – the 2016 De Bruyne had already proved himself , not least in knocking out Paris St Germain the quarter-finals .
But today ’ s version is truly world-class , the beating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Sergio Aguero ) – the legend was already established in 2016 , but Guardiola has made the Argentina striker a more rounded player , without diminishing his goal return .
• Overall verdict : nine upgrades , two downgrades

Two visits, two defeats. Manchester City’s Champions League record at Real Madrid is not encouraging.
But the Blues were three minutes away from a famous victory at the Bernabeu in 2012, before two late goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo saw them go down 3-2.
And in the semi-final in 2016, the Blues remarkably only lost by a solitary goal despite having a centre-back pairing of Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi up against Benzema, Ronaldo and Gareth Bale for 80 minutes.
That semi-final is a decent yardstick for City’s progress in European football under Pep Guardiola, as Real – apart from losing superstar Ronaldo – have barely changed.
The Blues are significantly different in terms of manpower, set-up and mentality from that team, which was distinctly second-best over the two legs and was grateful to two typically defiant Joe Hart displays in goal to keep the score down.
So how will the team Guardiola puts out on Wednesday compare, man for man, with that which lost to Bale’s deflected goal nearly four years ago?
Ederson (Joe Hart) – Hart was City’s best player over two legs, producing some stunning stops to keep the Blues alive in the tie. Ederson has not had a game like that, but his footballing ability is clearly the best fit for the modern City.
Verdict: Ederson
Kyle Walker (Bacary Sagna) – the power and thrust Walker provides is superior to Sagna’s more measured game, attacking-wise. Sagna had an edge in defensive terms.
Verdict: Walker
Fernandinho (Vincent Kompany) – the Belgian’s injury jinx struck him just ten minutes into the second leg, but as an all-rounder, he would be a better bet than Fernandinho, even though the Brazil international has made a real fist of his new centre-back role.
Verdict: Kompany
Aymeric Laporte (Nicolas Otamendi) – the Argentine was a better defender four years ago, but he was not close to Laporte, who is rugged without being occasionally reckless, and whose cultured left foot is a potent attacking weapon.
Verdict: Laporte
Benjamin Mendy (Gael Clichy) – Both left backs who play on the front foot, but Mendy has an edge due to his extra power and crossing ability.
Verdict: Mendy
Rodri (Fernando) – Fernando was introduced for extra defensive security, but he was never the kind of anchor which Rodri provides to today’s City.
Verdict: Rodri
Raheem Sterling (Fernandinho) – different formations meant there had to be one odd match-up! Fernandinho was second fiddle to Yaya in 2016, while Sterling, who went on as a sub in that game, has blossomed into a top-notch match-winner.
Verdict - Sterling... in today's formation

Riyad Mahrez (Jesus Navas) – Mahrez could get the nod after his fine display at Leicester, and he has a better range than knock-and-go winger Navas.
Verdict: Mahrez
David Silva (Yaya Toure) – Silva was injured for the 2016 game, a huge blow at the time, and the 2020 version is not quite at the height of his powers, while Toure was the ultimate big-game player.
Verdict: Toure
Kevin De Bruyne (Kevin De Bruyne) – the 2016 De Bruyne had already proved himself, not least in knocking out Paris St Germain the quarter-finals. But today’s version is truly world-class, the beating heart of this team.
Verdict: De Bruyne (2020 version)
Sergio Aguero (Sergio Aguero) – the legend was already established in 2016, but Guardiola has made the Argentina striker a more rounded player, without diminishing his goal return.
Verdict: Aguero (2020 version)

It was as if there was a riot happening at the back of the cabin and there were at least 15–20 men stood up at this point and I was very concerned. I actually went into the flight deck to tell them that the cabin was out of control and a full on fight was happening. I requested a divert straight away, the captain just asked me to keep it under control.
“The whole plane knew what was happening and Carrie was screaming and shouting - she was out of control and the crew members were trying to advise her to get back in her seat she was up in the aisle as we were landing. Carrie took a while to get off - she was in the galley crying to the crew members. There was a lot of kicking off, screaming, shouting.
''She had her fingers up towards the passengers telling them to ''f*** off'' she made quite a big scene while she was getting off the aircraft.
“It did play on my mind for a long time in the way they was trying to physically assault myself and crew members.
''It a very hard situation to deal with. They were out of control threatening and abusive, they was all intoxicated the females you could physically smell the alcohol it was quite a strong smell.”

Air stewardess Beth Halliwell said: ''There was a lady passenger who asked if she could she move seats saying: ‘they are doing my head in.’ It then got out of control and I started to see people jumped up and arms flailing. My colleagues were very shaken up like we had lost all control of the cabin. When I got towards the back there was a lot of shouting and swearing going on towards Liam.
''Carrie was calling him a ''c***' and a 't***.' We tried to tell Carrie to sit back down until we were on the ground and it was safe but she would get back up again. I remember Karin shouting: 'this is all your fault' and it seemed like Carrie was shouting across. I was quite scared.
''Karin seemed regretful for it getting out of hand but her speech was quite slurred. I have never been so scared in my life at work it was very intimidating it was just not a nice experience at all.”
The two women both deny being drunk on aircraft. Karin Parkes also denies assault on Mr Dickson. A third passenger Jonathan Thomas, 36, also from Blackpool denies being drunk on an aircraft.
The trial continues.

Luke Shaw revealed that Manchester United fielded Daniel James as a type of wing-back against Watford — despite it appearing as though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation .

`` Even more so that he 's a really nice guy and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's fit in well and of course he 's fitted in even better on the pitch so hopefully he can continue doing that and keep pushing us forward . ''
And it 's not only in forward areas with Fernandes that United have improved of late .
Solskjaer 's side recorded their seventh clean sheet in the past 10 games against the Hornets and Shaw opened up about the defensive improvements that have been made behind the scenes .
He added : `` I think we 've been working on it a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can be more sort of compact and stronger in defence and we have been doing that .
`` But the most important thing is obviously winning , so I 'll take a win over a clean sheet any day .
`` But three goals , [ a ] clean sheet and great goals at the end of the day and an important goal for Bruno . ''

Bruno Fernandes has hit the ground running at Manchester United with a goal and two assists in his first three starts, with his most complete performance to date coming against Watford on Sunday.
And teammate Luke Shaw has lifted the lid on why the new boy signed from Sporting Lisbon in January has been able to settle so quickly at Old Trafford.
Fernandes is a popular character off the pitch, according to Shaw, and is making a giant impact on it for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
His manager compared him to ex-United stars Juan Sebastian Veron and Paul Scholes after the 3-0 win over Watford — in which Fernandes scored his first United goal — and Shaw admitted he's been impressed by the new signing's start in a red shirt.
"It sort of shows someone's quality when they come in and they find it so sort of easy to adapt straightaway," said the left-back.
"Of course he's done that and credit to him, he's been brilliant so far.
"Even more so that he's a really nice guy and that helps a lot.
"He's fit in well and of course he's fitted in even better on the pitch so hopefully he can continue doing that and keep pushing us forward."
And it's not only in forward areas with Fernandes that United have improved of late.
Solskjaer's side recorded their seventh clean sheet in the past 10 games against the Hornets and Shaw opened up about the defensive improvements that have been made behind the scenes.
He added: "I think we've been working on it a lot in training, the new shape that we can be more sort of compact and stronger in defence and we have been doing that.
"But the most important thing is obviously winning, so I'll take a win over a clean sheet any day.
"But three goals, [a] clean sheet and great goals at the end of the day and an important goal for Bruno."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-02-24--Primary school children banned from heading footballs in training

Primary school kids have been banned from heading balls in football training .
The ban has been introduced with immediate effect - with England , Northern Ireland and Scotland all taking the same stance .
The three football associations issued a statement today confirming changes to their heading guidance , which come in the wake of a study which suggested a link between the sport and dementia .
The FIELD study showed former footballers were three-and-a-half times more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease than others of the same age .
There will now be no heading at all in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children – and a graduated approach to heading in training in under-12s to under-16s football .
The same wo n't apply for matches however , as it takes into consideration the extremely limited number of headers which actually occur in youth games .
The FIELD study did not state that heading a ball was the cause of the increased prevalence of neurodegenerative conditions among footballers , but the decision to update the guidelines has been taken to 'mitigate against any potential risks ' , the FA said in a statement .
FA chief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ updated heading guidance is an evolution of our current guidelines and will help coaches and teachers to reduce and remove repetitive and unnecessary heading from youth football .
“ Our research has shown that heading is rare in youth football matches , so this guidance is a responsible development to our grassroots coaching without impacting the enjoyment that children of all ages take from playing the game .
The associations said the guidance had been produced in parallel with UEFA ’ s medical committee , which is seeking to produce Europe-wide guidance later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Patrick Nelson said : “ Our football committee has reviewed and approved the new guidelines .
“ As an association we believe this is the right direction of travel and are confident it will be good for the game , and those who play it.

“ The updated guidelines are designed to help coaches remove repetitive and unnecessary heading from youth football in the earliest years , with a phased introduction at an age group considered most appropriate by our medical experts .

There will now be no heading at all in the 'foundation phase' – primary school children – and a graduated approach to heading in training in under-12s to under-16s football.
The same won't apply for matches however, as it takes into consideration the extremely limited number of headers which actually occur in youth games.
The FIELD study did not state that heading a ball was the cause of the increased prevalence of neurodegenerative conditions among footballers, but the decision to update the guidelines has been taken to 'mitigate against any potential risks', the FA said in a statement.
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “This updated heading guidance is an evolution of our current guidelines and will help coaches and teachers to reduce and remove repetitive and unnecessary heading from youth football.
“Our research has shown that heading is rare in youth football matches, so this guidance is a responsible development to our grassroots coaching without impacting the enjoyment that children of all ages take from playing the game.
