‘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 suffered a humiliating Champions League defeat against Sporting, with a terrible second half resulting in their first European defeat since April 2022.
City grabbed the lead early on through Phil Foden, but after dominating the first half and squandering several opportunities, Sporting equalized on the break through Viktor Gyokeres.
Sporting startled City by jumping up 20 seconds into the second half, and they gained a penalty 22 seconds later. Gyokeres converted twice, adding gloss to the scoreline. Erling Haaland smashed a penalty against the crossbar to add to City’s disastrous night in Lisbon.
These are the moments you might have missed during Manchester City’s recent Champions League trip:
What did Haaland do full-time?
Haaland has gotten himself into the ideal places and has had several shoots, but they are not going in. He achieved his second-highest predicted goals figure in a City jersey against Southampton but only scored one, had two or three wonderful attempts at Bournemouth but could not reach the back of the net, and appeared in the mood again against Sporting, only to miss a number of decent chances.
