Manchester City faults on full display in shock UCL loss at Bodo/Glimt

  • On Tuesday, Manchester City lost 3-1 to Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League above the Arctic Circle, exposing clear faults in City's setup.
  • Missing 11 senior players forced Guardiola into changes as City traveled without them due to injury or suspension, with Guardiola saying `It was a difficult situation. We made a transition but they are fast and sometimes you react` during this rebuilding season.
  • Bodø/Glimt struck early with two quick goals as Kasper Høgh scored a brace by the 24th minute and Jens Petter Hauge added a 58th-minute strike while City managed 1.16 expected goals from 16 shots.
  • Automatic qualification now hinges on the final group game against Galatasaray next week, as a four-game winless run including Saturday's derby loss to Manchester United deepens pressure.
  • Bodø/Glimt notched their first-ever Champions League win above the Arctic Circle despite not playing competitively since Dec. 10, while Erling Haaland's 14 touches highlighted Manchester City's reliance on him.
