MAN Wontumi0 CommentsSportsManchester City, Pep Guardiola, Real Madrid

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has pointed to Real Madrid’s early goal as key to their 3-1 win over his team in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Mbappe went on to complete sensational hat-trick, before Nico Gonzalez pulled one back for City. Madrid advanced into the last 16 with a 6-3 aggregate. Guardiola, speaking to TNT Sports, said: “After we conceded the goal in the first action we didn’t…

wontumionlineSportsArsenal, LIVERPOOL, Manchester City

Barcelona had considered selling Raphinha last summer to fund a move for Nico Williams, but keeping him has proven to be a wise decision. The Brazilian has been in excellent form, attracting interest from top European clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City for next summer. Despite the interest, it is unlikely that Raphinha will leave, as he has become a key player and leader at Barcelona, even being elected vice-captain. With 27 goal contributions in 24 appearances this season, he leads the team in this regard. Barcelona is still focused on strengthening the left-wing position but is expected to…

Pep Guardiola says he does not know the extent of Rodri’s injury after the midfielder went off in the 21st minute of Manchester City’s dramatic draw with Arsenal. The Spain international went down writhing in pain and clutching his knee one minute before Riccardo Calafiori’s stunning strike levelled the match. Guardiola had to call upon Mateo Kovacic from the bench after Rodri appeared to twist his knee in a tangle with Arsenal’s Thomas Partey at a corner. “I don’t know yet, I didn’t ask the doctors,” said Guardiola. “Rodri is strong. He leaves the pitch in this action because he felt…

wontumionlineSportsIpswich Town, Kalvin Phillips, Manchester City

Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is set to join newly promoted Ipswich Town on loan for the season. Phillips has failed to break into the City starting side since his £45m move from Leeds two years ago. He joined West Ham on loan for the second half of last season in an effort to secure an England spot for Euro 2024 but a combination of poor form and injury wrecked his chances of making Gareth Southgate’s squad. The loan deal does not include a sale option. Although City manager Pep Guardiola spoke highly of the 28-year-old during the club’s pre-season…

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is set to miss up to four weeks with the muscle injury he sustained in Sunday’s Premier League draw with Liverpool.

Ederson, 30, is set to miss City’s next Premier League game at home to title rivals Arsenal on 31 March. He would also miss this Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final at home to Newcastle, which is followed by the latest international…

Manchester City: Treble Winners Post Premier League And Club Record Revenues And Profits

wontumionlineSportsManchester City, PREMIERE LEAGUE

Manchester City have posted a Premier League record revenue of £712.8m for the 2022-23 financial year.

wontumionlineSportsEnglish Premier League, Manchester City, manchester united

Manchester City cruised past Manchester United with embarrassing ease in the derby at Old Trafford to emphasise the vast gulf between the two sides. Erling Haaland was the main tormentor with goals in each half before setting up a third for Phil Foden as Pep Guardiola's side established superiority from the kick-off and rarely looked like relinquishing control. There were poignant scenes before the start as supporters from both sides of Manchester's footballing divide joined to pay tribute to the late Sir Bobby Charlton. For manager Erik ten Hag and his players, the match that followed was one to forget.…
