Why did Pep Guardiola injure himself during Manchester City vs Feyenoord

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola shared an honest moment after his team blew a three-goal lead against Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League, resulting in a dramatic 3-3 draw.

City looked set for a comfortable victory, with Erling Haaland scoring twice and Ilkay Gundogan adding another. However, Feyenoord staged a stunning comeback, netting three goals in the final 15 minutes.

During the match, fans noticed Guardiola with a cut on his nose and scratches on his head. Social media buzzed with curiosity about the cause. The City boss later admitted the injuries were self-inflicted.

“With my finger, yeah, with my nail,” Guardiola explained, demonstrating the action. Smiling, he added, “I want to harm myself, yeah.”

The draw leaves Manchester City in 15th place in the Champions League table, two points away from an automatic knockout spot. The team is enduring a tough season, with their winless streak now at six games.

Next, they face a daunting trip to Anfield to play league leaders Liverpool. Another defeat would extend their poor run to seven games across all competitions.
