Manchester –
Manchester City will face Derby Manchester on weekends. City Manager Pep Guardiola chose to focus his focus on the fight against Club Brugge.
The Citizens just defeated Crystal Palace 0-2 at the Etihad in the Premier League continued last weekend. It meant City’s second straight defeat in domestic competition, having previously been eliminated by West Ham in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
In the midst of this negative trend, Man City had to undergo a difficult match because they had to travel to Old Trafford to meet Manchester United on Sunday (6/11/2021) evening WIB. The Blue Sky is prohibited from slipping again in order not to get too far with the top two teams Chelsea and Liverpool in the title race.
However, City manager Pep Guardiola insists his team will not think about Man United. The reason is, City must face Brugge at the Etihad on matchday 4 Champions League, Thursday (4/11) morning WIB.
City currently sits in second place in Group A standings with 6 points, one point adrift of PSG above it and two points away from Brugge (3). If Brugge can be defeated, City’s path to qualifying for the knockout phase will be wider.
“I think this game is much more important than the game against United,” he said Guardiola from Sky Sports. “This game gives us a very big chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.”
“In the Premier League, there are many games. In the Champions League there are only six, and there are not many games left,” he said.
Man City managed to win 5-1 at headquarters Club Brugge on matchday 3. Can City repeat a similar result?
