- Manchester City showed a late advantage in the first play-off game of the Champions League
- Guardiola team will be eliminated from the competition if they do not win next week
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Is there an agenda against Ange Postecoglou?
Pep Guardiola's ugly habit raised once again when Manchester City suffered another collapse in the Champions League Tuesday night.
City seemed to be ready to get to the Spanish capital next week with an advantage of a goal after Erling Haaland successfully turned his penalty of 80 minutes after a foul on Phil Foden.
The strike, the second of the Norwegian game and the 49th in just 48 Games of the European Cup, occurred after Kylian Mbappe had restored parity for Real Madrid fortuitously. But the city was apparently determined to throw another advantage and granted twice in the last four minutes in the Etihad.
After the match, Guardiola was seen with scratches on the head, presumably sustained during a stream that ruins the 90 minutes in the house shelter.
It is the third time that fans have seen self-inflicted marks on the face of the Spanish after the games in the Champions League this season, with the first after the dramatic draw of City 3-3 with Feyenoord in November.
Again he was seen with scratches in the head after the victory of the final phase of the city group over the Brugge club last month.

After the defeat on Tuesday by Real Madrid, Guardiola said: 'Today he was tight and at certain times we had opportunities. Many games in the end we give. At that level it is very difficult. It is not the first time, it happens many times.
'There are errors in similar areas. It's hard to drive, but yes, it happens many times. Players make decisions at the time, sometimes it works and sometimes not. We arrived at the last minute with the result, but we could not keep it.
'It belongs to all of us, not only to the players. I have no problem accepting that it does not work as it worked in the past. We are all of us.
'They want it, how they run and how they do it, but the truth is that we are not stable enough at times. In the end, today is what it is and after tomorrow we have to continue learning.
'There are many, many good things we play. The result is what it is. Of course, we did many good things, things can improve and always give credit to the opponent and the quality they have.
Earlier this season, Guardiola said he wanted to hurt after he threw a 3-0 advantage against Feyenoord.
Later he apologized for the comment, since some had felt that his comments glorified or made light of self -harm.
“I caught by surprise with a question at the end of a press conference last night about a scratch that had appeared on my face and explained that an sharp nail had accidentally caused this,” Guardiola wrote.

'I know that many people fight with mental health problems every day, and I would like to take this moment to highlight one of the ways in which people can seek help, calling the direct line of the Samaritans to 116 123 or sending an email electronic to Jo@samaritans.org. '
The city's defeat leaves them with a uphill battle to stay in the Champions League in this term.
Guardiola's team travels to Bernabéu next Wednesday after a clash against Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
