Indeed, it was impossible to miss the numerous scratches on his head and the cut on his nose. At a press conference, the Catalan was questioned on the subject and he responded with humor. “I did this to myself with my finger, with my nail.”he replied seriously, miming cutting himself. Before specifying with a smile: “I wanted to hurt myself.” Then leaving with a laconic “Good night”.
If he will quickly recover physically from his minor injuries, the crisis is deep among the Citizens. Certainly, the bleeding of defeat is over since they had suffered five losses in a row. But they added a match to their victory drought. To the point of being booed at the end of the meeting. A first for Guardiola since his arrival in 2016. “They are right to express what they feel”he said. “They were incredible against Tottenham (0-4 loss) and they stayed to applaud us. Today it’s different, but it’s normal. People don’t come here to remember the previous success. They come here to see the team win and play well. That’s not the case at the moment.”
For City, we will have to get back up. And quickly! Liverpool awaits their historic rival this Sunday at Anfield Road. The issue is simple: the leader could relegate KDB and co to 11 points. Part of the title could therefore already be decided this Sunday.
