“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.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
