Pep Guardiola is prone to overthinking in Champions League games. Football fans will remember when he went into last season's final against Chelsea with a successful default formation but opted to play with no defensive midfielders.
No one understood why he made the tactical switch and, of course, City would go on to lose the game 1-0, with the lack of midfield pressure playing a serious role in the defeat.
Manchester United fans had a similar 'what the?' moment when the lineup was announced ahead of the trip to Atletico Madrid for the Champions League round of 16 first leg.
