Tue Nov 26 23:53:34 UTC 2024: ## Guardiola’s Self-Inflicted Scratches Highlight City’s Nervous Collapse Against Feyenoord
**Manchester, England** – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola revealed a surprising reason for the scratches visible on his face after his team’s dramatic 3-3 Champions League draw against Feyenoord. In a post-match press conference, Guardiola admitted to self-inflicted wounds, stating, “Yeah, my finger here. My nail. I want to harm myself.”
The revelation came after City squandered a commanding 3-0 lead in the final 15 minutes, a collapse that left Guardiola visibly distraught. Goals from Erling Haaland (2) and Ilkay Gundogan had initially put City in control, but late goals from Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Gimenez, and David Hancko secured a stunning comeback for the Dutch side.
Guardiola attributed the collapse to City’s current fragility, stating, “We are not stable. We give them the first and the other ones so that’s why it’s difficult. We’ve lost a lot of games lately. We are fragile and we needed a victory.” He expressed uncertainty whether the issue was mental, highlighting the preventable nature of Feyenoord’s goals.
The draw extends City’s winless streak to five games, raising serious concerns ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield. A defeat could see City fall a staggering 11 points behind the league leaders with just 13 matches played. The pressure is clearly mounting on Guardiola and his team.
