Two days before the clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League, the Citizens faced Crystal Palace yesterday. The aim was to continue to put pressure on Arsenal and Liverpool for the race for the Premier League, but also not to lose any players to injury. The first mission was validated with a success against the Eagles (4-2). The second least since Joško Gvardiol came out after pain. At the end of the match, Pep Guardiola did not reassure Sky Blues supporters at a press conference.
“Joško has a little physical problem. We will see who will be available on Tuesday against Madrid” he declared to the English press. One more bad news for the cityzens defense? Against the Eagles again, Nathan Aké and Kyle Walker were out.
