During Manchester City's Champions League game against Feyenoord on Tuesday night, Pep Guardiola was spotted with a rather unpleasant cut on his nose. It was a wild match, with City initially taking a comfortable lead of three goals thanks to Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan's scoring prowess. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Feyenoord managed to equalize the score in the final 15 minutes with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez, and David Hancko.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was visibly animated and passionate, and many fans couldn't help but notice the cut on his nose. When asked about it during the post-match press conference, Guardiola revealed that it was a self-inflicted injury caused by his own nail. With a cheeky smile, he jokingly admitted, "I wanted to harm myself, yeah."
As it turns out, the cut on his nose was not the only injury Guardiola sustained during the game. He also had several smaller cuts on his head, presumably from his own fingernails. The disappointing draw with Feyenoord has only added to City's recent struggles, as they are now without a win in their last six games across all competitions.
The result was met with frustration from City's supporters, who booed the team off the field. When asked about the negative reaction, Guardiola acknowledged the fans' disappointment but also pointed out their unwavering support in the past. He stated, "They come here today to see the team win and perform well. They support us all the time, and when we go away, the fans are amazing. They are completely right to express how they feel."
Guardiola also refused to put the blame on Josko Gvardiol, who made two costly errors leading to Feyenoord's goals. He defended the young player, saying that he will learn from his mistakes and that he was the best player on the pitch despite his errors. Guardiola emphasized the need to support and guide Gvardiol, as he is a fantastic player and a fantastic person.
