Manchester City were three goals up against Feyenoord on Tuesday night, and it seemed like they’ve finally overcome the crisis they’ve been going through for quite some time.Pep Guardiola then decided to take off three key players – Nathan Ake, Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden – and all of a sudden, his team collapsed and conceded three goals for a shocking 3-3 draw.Endless agony! City concede three goals in 14 minutes for a painful drawA sixth-successive winless result led Guardiola to a nerve-wracking after-game, as he was seen with cuts and bruises in his post-match interview.”I did it with my finger, with my nail… I wanted to harm myself,” explained Pep before concentrating on the game and analysing his possible mistakes.”Nathan comes with 20 minutes left and the game was not in danger,” he said. “That happens and Nathan has been injured many times. We didn’t want to expose him for 90 minutes.”Gundogan is the only holding midfielder we have and Phil plays a lot of minutes. I do it for Kevin to get rhythm in the best way. Macca and Jahmai is always so stable. The moment was completely fine.”🚨 Pep Guardiola on those cuts: “With my fingers… I want to harm myself”.🎥 @BeanymanSports pic.twitter.com/9g9Ix0LyrO— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) November 26, 2024 Guardiola also defended Josko Gvardiol, who made a horrible mistake for the first two Feyenoord goals after two errors against Tottenham.”He is so young, he will learn,” the manager said. “It will be a good experience. The way he has played – he was the best player on the pitch but I will be so wrong if I point specific thing for our defeat. He is young and he will learn. He is a fantastic player, fantastic boy and now more than ever must be helped.”He was asked about the boos after the game and refused to be critical, instead pointing to the support his side received every week. “Last game against Tottenham, 0-4 supporters were there, applause. They are disappointed of course and we understand it,” Pep concluded.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND 5TuesdaySlovan B – Milan 2-3 (1-1)/Barseghyan 24, Marcelli 88 – Pulisic 21, Leao 68, Abraham 70/Sparta P – Atletico Madrid 0-6 (0-2)/Alvarez 15, 59, Llorente 43, Griezman 70, Correa 85, 89/Barcelona – Brest 3-0 (1-0)/Lewandowski 10 pen, 90+2, Olmo 66/Bayern – PSG 1-0 (1-0)/Kim 38/Inter – RB Leipzig 1-0 (1-0)/Lukeba 27 og/Leverkusen – Salzburg 5-0 (3-0)/Wirtz 8 pen, 30, Grimaldo 11, Schick 61, Garcia 72/Man.City – Feyenoord 3-3 (1-0)/Haaland 44 pen, 53, Gundogan 50 – Hadj Moussa 75, Gimenez 82, Hancko 89/Sporting – Arsenal 1-5 (0-3)/Inacio 47 – Martinelli 7, Havertz 22, Gabriel 45+1, Saka 65 pen, Trossard 82/Young Boys – Atalanta 1-6 (1-4)/Ganvoula 11 – Retegui 9, 39, De Ketelaere 28, 56, Kolasinac 32, Samardzic 90+1/Wednesday19:45: (4.80) Crvena Zvezda (4.10) Stuttgart (1.75)19:45: (3.70) Sturm (3.50) Girona (2.00)23:00: (2.45) Aston Villa (3.40) Juventus (3.10)23:00: (2.45) Bologna (3.35) Lille (3.15)23:00: (2.05) Celtic (3.50) Club Brugge (3.60)23:00: (4.80) Dinamo Zagreb (3.70) Dortmund (1.73)23:00: (1.90) Liverpool (3.95) Real Madrid (4.00)23:00: (2.30) Monaco (3.50) Benfica (3.25)23:00: (1.42) PSV (4.60) Shakhtar (7.50)***odds are subject to change***
