Last night, fans of Manchester City were eagerly anticipating a thrilling match against Inter, but unfortunately, the game ended in a goalless draw. Even Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel noticed the lack of excitement in the Etihad atmosphere and described it as "absolutely dead". This is quite surprising considering City's impressive start to the season under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.
Inter, managed by Simone Inzaghi, put up a strong defensive front against City's relentless attacking force, led by the highly talented Erling Haaland. Despite being the underdogs, Inter managed to hold off City's attacks and secure a valuable point, boosting their chances of qualifying for the next round.
However, City's focus now shifts to their upcoming game against Premier League rivals Arsenal on Sunday. Guardiola will undoubtedly hope for a more intense and intimidating atmosphere from the home crowd, unlike what was witnessed last night. Schmeichel also expressed his disappointment with the game, calling it "boring" and highlighting the lack of excitement from the fans.
The absence of City's captain Kevin De Bruyne could be a major concern for the team as they prepare for their clash against Arsenal. The talented Belgian was substituted at half-time after struggling in the latter stages of the first half. Guardiola's team will have to assess De Bruyne's situation carefully before making any decisions for Sunday's game.
Despite the lackluster performance and the draw, Guardiola remained positive and praised his team's efforts against a tough opponent. He acknowledged Inter as the champions of Italy and a formidable team in all aspects. Guardiola was satisfied with his team's performance and felt that they deserved a win, but there are still seven more games to play in the competition, and anything can happen.
It was a disappointing night for City fans, as they couldn't witness their team's usual attacking prowess, but there is still hope for the future. The next game against Arsenal promises to be an exciting one, and City will be eager to bounce back and continue their winning streak. Let's hope for a better performance and a more lively atmosphere at the Etihad on Sunday.
