Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola must have sought some medical attention after Tuesday’s November 26 Champions League draw with Feyenoord at home.
The game that appeared all but over with City 3-0 up by the 55th minute took a different turn as the Holland team came back fighting to end the game 3-3.
This marked the sixth game that city have failed to win, although ended their disastrous losing streak.
The staggering ending saw many surprised by how poor City were, with even Pep wondering what was wrong with his stars.
Speaking to the media, Pep Gurdiola said he could not explain what was going on, but affirmed that he will not be changing his ways, which have seen the team win four Premier League titles in a row.

Pep hurt himself
Many could spot a small injury on Pep’s nose with blood spotting, and the manager was quick to explain the reason.
He noted that he had pricked himself with his nail just after the match, hence the injury.
On Wednesday, November 27, the manager’s social media team released a statement from Pep, noting that he had no intention of hurting himself.
The manager said he understands how hard it is for those with mental issues when it comes to physical self-harm and even shared ways one can get help.

However, the somber mood could be felt and this will not go away any time soon unless City start winning again.
In what you could call a perfect match to start a positive run, City travel to their greatest rivals in recent years, Liverpool, for a blockbuster match that could determine the title.
The game will be on Sunday, December 1.
