‘it’s either they sell Him or they sack me, this particular player is looking for my downfall”, Pep Guardiola has ordered the board to sell ONE Manchester City FLOP player who lost possession more than every other player on the pitch Vs Sporting CP in the Champions league
Manchester City lost badly to Sporting in the Champions League. They had a terrible second half that led to their first loss in Europe since April 2022.
City took the lead early on through Phil Foden, but Sporting tied it up on the break through Viktor Gyokeres, even though City had most of the chances in the first half.
To everyone’s surprise, Sporting scored the first goal of the second half within 20 seconds. They then got a penalty 22 seconds after the game started. Gyokeres scored, and he did it again later to make the score even better. Erling Haaland hit the bar with a penalty kick, making City’s bad night in Lisbon even worse.
Here are some things you might not have seen on Manchester City’s most recent Champions League trip:
Just what Haaland did all the time
Haaland is in the right place and has had a lot of chances to score, but the goals are off. He had his second-highest predicted goals total in a City shirt against Southampton, but he only scored one. He had two or three great chances at Bournemouth, but could not find the net, and he looked in the mood again at Sporting, but missed a few good ones.
