Guardiola impressed by the Merengue and makes a big announcement on Haaland!

Despite the draw last night on the lawn of Copenhagen (0-0), Manchester City is officially qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League. At 10 against 11 for almost an hour, the Citizens managed to bring back a point from their trip to the Danish capital, and could even have won if Riyad Mahrez had scored his penalty. In the end, this draw is not such a bad result for City, who maintain their first place in the group, 3 points ahead of Dortmund, before moving to Signal Iduna Park in two weeks. At the end of the match, Pep Guardiola returned to the non-establishment of Erling Haaland, who ultimately did not come into play, while he remained on 10 consecutive games with the Skyblues where he scored at least one goal . The Spanish technician then explained why Manchester City had still not won the Champions League.

About Erling Haaland

« He finished the match against Southampton very tired and he hasn’t recovered well in the last few days. Today was a bit better, but we decided not to take any risks. »

The Cyborg should be able to hold their place on Sunday afternoon for the clash against Liverpool (5:30 p.m.).

On the difficulty of winning the Champions League

« Because Real Madrid is still there ».

A statement that should please Merengue fans.

Journalist: “You have won everything with Manchester City except the Champions League. Why is it so difficult? »
