“Manchester United will have to pay for our loose to Sporting CP yesterday in the premier League” Furious Pep Guardiola sends warning message to Manchester United incoming manager Amorim after Defeat in the champions league
After joining Manchester United, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola informed Ruben Amorim he won not be able to claim another triumph against him in this season’s Champions League.
Coming from behind, Amorim’s Sporting stunned City with an eye-catching 4-1 Champions League triumph. Only for a Viktor Gyokeres hat-trick and a strike from Maxi Araujo to give the Lisbon team victory, Phil Foden put City lead inside five minutes.
The victory for the Portuguese team advances them toward European knockout phase qualifying. Though other clubs may overtake them with wins on Wednesday, with the top eight teams going straight through to the round of 16, they are second in the League Phase of the Champions League.
By the time the next round arrives, though, Amorim will be in the Premier League. On November 11, he will take over as manager of Manchester United; Guardiola was quick to remind him the two Manchester teams have distinct goals this season.
