Keen-eyed fans noticed a scratch on Pep Guardiola ‘s head, likely caused by stress, after Manchester City’s 3-2 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
It is the third time this season that fans have noticed a cut on Guardiola’s face after a Champions League game, with the first occurring after a 3-3 draw at Feyenoord in November and the other after a win at Club Brugge last month. “It was a very close game today and
we had chances,” Guardiola said after the game. “In many games we have made mistakes and at this level, this cannot happen. “
We made a lot of mistakes in the same areas, it is difficult to deal with but it is not the first time. Everyone has to make split-second decisions. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน “We were leading
until the last minute but we couldn’t keep the score, it is not just a problem for the players, it is for the whole team. I never shirk responsibility, we were just not solid enough in the important moments. “
Of course we did a lot of things well but credit to the quality of Madrid.”
Guardiola has previously said that he wants to “Self-harming” after Man City left the score 3-0 and were equalized by Feyenoord, which he had to apologize later because some parties thought his words might be joking about mental health problems.
The latest defeat leaves Man City with a tough task if they want to go through to the next round. They need to go to get a good result from Real Madrid in the second leg next Wednesday before playing the Premier League game against Newcastle this Saturday.
