City’s defeat in the ‘Manchester Derby’ against United has deepened, even more, the wound of a Pep Guardiola who seemed completely desperate. So much so that he once again starred in a scene in the band in which he hurt his head again. An image that is already becoming common at the Etihad.
The scene occurred five minutes from the end when, with City 1-0 up, Matheus Nunes made a fatal double error that condemned the ‘sky blue’ team. First, he made a false move back towards Ederson and, when Diallo stood in the area, he ran over him from behind ‘like an elephant in a china shop’ with five minutes remaining.
It was then that Guardiola, not believing what had happened, dug his nails into his head. Meanwhile, Bruno assumed responsibility despite the poor game he was playing and did not forgive from the spot to tie the match.

Immediately, Guardiola reacted by bringing on Savinho for Gündogan to go all out on the attack trying to recover what they had lost. It was then that, while chatting with the Brazilian, a deep cut was seen on the back of his head. The worst, however, came in stoppage time when Diallo turned the game around.
