Manuel Akanji was replaced in part time after he seems to suffer a confrontation of the Manchester City Champions League with Real Madrid.
Although visitors enjoy a sustained impulse spell during the beginning in the Etihad, the defense of the city remained firm in front of Kylian Mbappe and Co. during the first half.
City took the lead after 19 minutes through Erling Haaland, but received a blow after half an hour when Jack Grealish could not continue and was replaced by Phil Foden.
After falling earlier in the game when the first 45 minutes came to an end, Akanji seemed to be in some discomfort while leaving the field.
With Akanji apparently unable to play, in the Guardiola interval he replaced the Swiss international with Rico Lewis.
Real matched by courtesy of a strange objective of Kylian Mbappe, and City seemed to have suffered even more misery of injuries in the final stages.

Phil Foden was shot down by Dani Ceballos and the referee immediately pointed to the place, with Haaland turning the kick into the place to restore the leadership of his team.
However, Foden seemed to have a significant pain after the challenge, but finally he could stand up and continue playing.
The news will be a blow to Guardiola, who has suffered a difficult campaign after losing multiple key players at the treatment table.
Both Ederson and Nathan Ake returned Tuesday night, and the latter lost the six previous games of the city due to injuries.
