In parallel with the round of 16 of the Champions League, Manchester City played their late match of the 18th day against Brentford this evening. The opportunity for Pep Guardiola’s men to come back to within a small point of leader Liverpool in the event of a victory. The Spaniard took advantage of this weekday match to rotate his squad a little by starting Julian Alvarez and Oscar Bobb to accompany Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
Without De Bruyne, left to rest on the bench, the Cityzens took time but ended up overcoming the Bees. First upset by Flekken and Ben Mee, author of a huge jump in the first period in front of Bobb, the reigning champion relied on his home scorer, Haaland, at the conclusion of a lightning counterattack (71st). This 1-0 success, as short as it was precious, puts Manchester City back on the heels of the Reds.
