“Very Disappointing” – Gundogan Reacts to Man City’s Loss to Juventus
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has expressed disappointment in both his performance and that of his teammates following their 2-0 loss to Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
Despite having several chances to score, City was undone by goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie at the Allianz Stadium, leaving the Premier League champions with a lot to reflect on.
Gundogan, visibly frustrated, shared his thoughts on the match, labeling the defeat as “very disappointing.”
Speaking to TNT Sports, he emphasized that while they had opportunities, their overall play wasn’t up to par.
“We had chances to score, a few in fact, but right now it feels like any attack we concede turns into a real threat,” he said.
The midfielder continued, highlighting a lack of focus during critical moments.
“I think we’re a bit careless in duels, and instead of keeping things simple, we tend to complicate situations.
They break our rhythm with the smallest things, and at the crucial moments, we’re always making the wrong decisions.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
