Manchester City has to put a setback in the fight for the Champions League. A former Bundesliga star is responsible.
A former Bundesliga player has added a bitter damper to Manchester City in the fight for the Champions League.
Callum Hudson-Odoi scored in the 1-0 victory of Nottingham Forest against the English champion in the 83rd minute.
City suddenly misses every resistance
The wing player received the ball on the right outline and was able to walk freely to the five -meter room. After a short hook against the passive Josko Gvardiol, he pushed the ball past Ederson into the short corner. Resistance? None!
The hosts distanced the Skyblues by four points in the competition for the premier class. “A monster result,” wrote the Daily Mail .
Nottingham is third (51 points), City is still in fourth place (47). FC Chelsea (46) could still displace the team of starting coach Pep Guardiola, Newcastle (44) could at least pull the same.
Guardiola was combative at TNT Sports : “We have ten games to qualify for the Champions League. We have ten finals “
For Hudson-Odoi, who once ran for Bayer Leverkusen and was also courted by FC Bayern, it is the seventh scorer point (five goals, two assists) in the 27 season game.
Hudson-Odoi completely electrified
The 24-year-old tried not to hide his joy over the Big Point against City after the game.
“You could see how energetic we were. We fought every battle. I am glad that we won the audience. Look at them, it’s amazing, ”he called to the TNT Sports microphone, while the spectators celebrated loudly in the stands.
To his goal he said: “Every time I tell him (passer Morgan Gibbs-White, note): ‘Search for me, seeks me, looking for me’ and he found me!”
Interesting marginal note at the end: Hudson -Odoi – who never made the final breakthrough in the Bundesliga – slowly develops into a man for the big games at Nottinham: Before his winning goal against City, he also added the only defeat of the season in the league.
