Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola returned to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since leaving the club at the end of last season, but his return was not marked by celebration as City suffered a 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a UEFA Champions League match.
Guardiola watched the match from the VIP stand, with his presence attracting attention from City supporters. The fans showed their loyalty to the club through the message “CTID” (City Till I Die), at a time when the team is facing challenges off the pitch.
On the pitch, PSG displayed their attacking strength, scoring through Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha. Manchester City attempted to fight back through Erling Haaland, who scored twice, but their efforts were not enough to prevent PSG from securing a 4-2 victory.
The result has increased the pressure on Manchester City in their Champions League campaign, while Guardiola’s return served as a reminder of the successful period he enjoyed at the club.
