Head-scratcher: Guardiola has marks on nose and head

Manchester City’s staggering downturn in form is proving a real head-scratcher for Pep Guardiola.

Literally.

Guardiola emerged to speak to the world’s media after the 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League – during which City conceded three goals after the 75th minute to squander the lead – with a cut on his nose as well as some scratches across the top of his bald head.

Asked about those marks, Guardiola said: “Yeah, my finger. Here,” as he performed a rapid downward motion along his nose. “My nail.”

Then he added with a smile: “I want to harm myself.”

Guardiola appears to be bearing the scars of the worst run of his managerial career, with City – the winner of the last four Premier League titles – having lost five straight games in all competitions for the first time before the implosion against Feyenoord.

No team in the Champions League has ever lost a three-goal lead as late as the 75th minute and ******* to win the game, stats supplier Opta said.

It could get worse for City, who were humiliated by Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur in a 4-0 home loss on Saturday.

Next up is a trip to Liverpool, the Premier League leaders, on Sunday.
