Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hurt his face with his fingers after the draw with Feyenoord.
Manchester City had a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the fifth leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League phase at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, at 5 a.m. on Sunday (Korea time). Manchester City continued its winless streak in six official matches.
Manchester City threatened Feyenoord’s goal from the beginning of the game. Manchester City, which was tapped, scored the first goal. Holland’s penalty goal in the 41st minute led. The first half ended with Manchester City leading 1-0.
The flow was similar in the beginning of the second half. Gündogan scored a goal by scoring a powerful shot on the second ball after a corner kick in the fifth minute of the second half. 이브벳 Hollande swung himself to Nunes’ low cross and touched it with his feet in the eighth minute of the second half. He continued to score points.
Feyenoord’s counterattack began, however. Haji Musa did not miss Gvardiol’s mistake in the 30th minute of the second half and scored the chasing goal. Rotomba’s shot hit the post at the 37th minute of the second half, but headed for Jimenez at the goalpost and scored the second goal.
The match went back to square one just before the end of the match. In the 44th minute of the second half, Paixiao received a long pass from the back, beat Ederson and crossed. Hantsuko finished it with his head and scored the equalizer.
Manchester City has not won since the ninth round of the Premier League against Southampton in October. In the meantime, they have suffered the worst slump of one draw and five losses in six games, losing to Tottenham Hotspur, Sporting CP and Brighton and Hove Albion.
After the match, Guardiola had injuries on his head and nose. “I did it with my fingers. I want to hurt myself,” he said, expressing his disappointment.
“He’s too young. I will learn. What I point at with my fingers would be wrong,” Guardiola said after repeating the mistake. “He is fantastic. I need help more than ever.”
Guardiola admitted that he did not expect Feyenoord to make a big comeback. “The game was not over, but with a 3-0 lead, I could not detect any danger,” he said.
