Around 99% of football teams are afraid of conceding a penalty. When it comes to Manchester City, however, they are surprisingly not very delighted with the possibility of being awarded one.At least, that’s the take from their latest open-for-public training session ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash against Juventus. The footage shows that Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden missed the goal from the spot despite aiming at an empty net with no goalkeeper around.WTF This is true!!! pic.twitter.com/sAuy2nKW9C— Premiumerza (@PREMIUMERZA) December 10, 2024 Interestingly, the BBC – which reported from the practice in its live blog – subsequently added that it was told the players were allegedly aiming for the woodwork.Truth or not, it will be interesting to see what will happen if Juventus concede a penalty later tonight at Allianz Stadium.It’s funny cause it’s true (©BBC/Screenshot)It should be a tremendously exciting game as both sides are desperate to win and avoid what could be an inevitable elimination with two games to spare. Eight points after five opening rounds is a disappointing result for Thiago Motta and Pep Guardiola, so they’re hoping to make amends against a strong rival.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND 6TuesdayDinamo Zagreb – Celtic 0-0Girona – Liverpool 0-1 (0-0)/Salah 63 pen/Atalanta – Real Madrid 2-3 (1-1)/De Ketelaere 45+2 pen, Lookman 65 – Mbappe 10, Vinicius Jr 56, Bellingham 59/Brest – PSV (1-0)/Cardinal 43/Club Brugge – Sporting 2-1 (1-1)/Quaresma 24 og, Nielsen 83 – Catamo 3/Leverkusen – Inter 1-0 (0-0)/Mukiele 90/RB Leipzig – Aston Villa 2-3 (1-1)/Openda 27, Baumgartner 62 – McGinn 3, Duran 52, Barkley 85/Salzburg – PSG 0-3 (0-1)/Ramos 30, Mendes 72, Doue 85/Shakhtar – Bayern Munich 1-5 (1-2)/Kevin 5 – Laimer 11, Muller 45, Olise 70 pen 90+3, Musiala 87/Wednesday20:45: (1.08) Atl.Madrid (13.0) Slovan B.
