Despite being qualified for the knockout rounds in Champions League, City still has a lot to improve on. Premier League giants performances have not been up to their standards two times they faced Lyon.
City were defeated by Lyon at home with the scoreline 2-1. City fans would have expected the club to take revenge for their home defeat when they travel to Lyon. They didn’t win against Lyon but succeeded in salvaging a 2-2 draw at Lyon.
Lyon twice took the lead in the second half but were not able to maintain it. The French side wasted many clear-cut chances before Maxwel Cornet fired an astounding shot from a tight angle to give them an early second-half lead.
City defender Aymeric Laporte quickly levelled the scores through the header. Cornet fired in again to put Lyon on top of the group. Sergio Aguero, however, flicked the header two minutes after Lyon’s second goal to ensure City remain favourites to top the group.
Speaking after the draw against Lyon, Pep Guardiola said:
Guardiola also explained how people wrongly believe that Ligue 1 is the farmer’s league:
City are yet to face Premier League counterparts, Liverpool and Chelsea who are playing amazingly this season. If City continues to play as they did against Lyon, there are chances that the club may slip further in the League.
Manchester City have qualified for the knockout rounds and Guardiola knows it’s not going to be easy to win the coveted Champions League
