Guardiola hits at his forwards for many missed opportunities

Manchester City recorded a difficult 3-1 victory against Red Star and started their title defense of the Champions League trophy with success.

However, the joy of the Citizens was overshadowed by another injury in the team.

A minute before the end of the first half, Bernardo Silva left the forced field and entered the already full infirmary.

Manchester City recorded a total of 37 shots at the goal of the Serbian team, but scored only three goals.

This angered Guardiola, who indirectly blamed Erling Haaland.

“I don’t know how many goals we conceded in the last two games. We play very, very well, but we don’t score. It’s good that we were persistent to win. The responsibility for the goals is on the strikers. If we had scored at the beginning, the game would have been different”, Pep said regarding a missed chance from Haaland.
