Ilkay Gündogan said Manchester City had ‘only ourselves to blame’ after they let a 3-0 lead in the 75th minute slip against Feyenoord
A baffled Ilkay Gündogan described Manchester City’s form as “inexplicable” after they let a 3-0 lead with 75 minutes goneAn Erling Haaland double and a Gündogan goal put Pep Guardiola’s team in firm control as they looked to end a five-game losing run with a win.
“Sometimes you will struggle in some games, no matter who the opponent is. Even when you play at home against a side you should dominate, you will concede chances because every team is good enough right now to create something. But then 75 minutes, 3-0 up and controlling the game, then ugh, giving it away so easily. They also were ruthless. It is probably more us to blame but they just punished us in every situation they got, scoring three goals. Obviously it is very tough to take.
Guardiola’s side travel to Liverpool on Sunday in the Premier League conscious that if they lose, Arne Slot’s leaders will pull 11 points ahead of them. Guardiola issued a statement on Wednesday after saying after the match that “self-harm” had caused a cut on his nose. “I was caught off-guard with a question at the end of a press conference last night about a scratch which had appeared on my face and explained that a sharp fingernail had accidentally caused this,” the manager said. “My answer was in no way intended to make light of the very serious issue of self-harm.
“I know that many people struggle with mental health issues every day, and I would like to take this moment to highlight one of the ways in people can seek help, by calling the Samaritans hotline on 116 123 or emailing [email protected].”
