Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City once again managed to prevent their opponent from taking a shot on goal in the Champions League. A specialty of the Spanish manager.
Ederson kept his clean sheet on Tuesday evening with Manchester City against Young Boys (3-0), but the Brazilian goalkeeper did not have too much trouble. The Swiss did not in fact manage to attempt a single shot during this meeting.
This is the fifth time a team has finished a Champions League match with zero shots on goal, and the fourth time Pep Guardiola has been affected. It had already happened for Man City against Atlético de Madrid, and for FC Barcelona against Viktoria Plzen and Arsenal.
The other match with zero shots for the opponent? It is the work of José Mourinho’s Real Madrid, against APOEL Nicosia.
0 – There have been five instances on record of a team failing to register a single shot attempt in a Champions League match, with four of those coming against sides managed by Pep Guardiola.
