Pep Guardiola has scratches on head AGAIN as he watches Man City on brink of Champions League exit
PEP GUARDIOLA has been spotted nursing more injuries to his forehead after a disastrous half from his Manchester City stars.
The Spaniard watched on in horror as his side went behind against Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Guardiola was a frustrated figure on the touchline as Raphael Onyedika swept in on the stroke of halftime.
The 54-year-old was agitated throughout as a City team featuring Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden failed to fire.
City require three points at the Etihad to avoid an embarrassing early exit from the competition they won in 2023.
Guardiola was seen with red scratches on his forehead as he took his seat on the bench just before the break.
But Mateo Kovacic levelled early in the second half, before a Joel Ordonez own goal turned the game around.
A wound-up Guardiola was booked minutes after the leveller for remonstrating with the officials.
It’s not the first time Pep has struggled this season with a similar scratching issue.
He watched his side throw away a 3-0 lead to Feyenoord in November and cut his own nose with his fingernail.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Guardiola put the issue down to a “skin problem” after concerned fans noticed his post-game appearance.
He explained: “I have a skin problem.
“I have to take antihistamines for two, three years.
“It’s not a matter of that time [against Feyenoord].
“The nails – yes – I caught them on my nose. But the rest [of the catches] was down to [the skin problem].”
The revamped Champions League format sees an eight-game ‘Swiss model’ instead of the traditional 32-team group stage.
New Champions League format is a snorefest
By Dan King
UEFA sold the idea of expanding the Champions League from 32 to 36 teams, with each playing eight games instead of six in the opening phase, as a way of creating more competitiveness and excitement.
The biggest clubs would have two matches against their peers, rather than having to wait until the knockout stage to meet.
The smaller clubs would meet teams of a similar level twice and have a chance of tasting victory that was so hard to achieve if you were the bottom seed in a group of four.
Ignoring for a moment the fact that the real motivation was the simple equation of more games = more money, the theory itself already looks flawed.
None of the matches between European giants has delivered a compelling contest yet.
And why would they? At the start of the long season with more matches in it, why would any team with ambitions to win things in the spring, go out all guns blazing in the autumn?
Especially when they know they have six games NOT against big sides to make sure they accrue enough points to qualify at least for the play-off round (and even more games).
There is even less jeopardy than before.
Read the full column on the Champions League format fail and why everyone – including YOU – needs a rethink.
The top eight teams automatically qualify for the last 16 and are joined by the winners of a play-off round between those that finished ninth to 24th.
Those that finish 25th to 36th are eliminated from all European competition – teams no longer drop into the Europa League.
City must beat Brugge due to their inferior goal difference if they are to stay in Europe.

Do Champions League teams drop into the Europa League if they don’t qualify for the last 16?
THE final night of the Champions League is HERE – and it’s win or go home for many teams.
Manchester City are one such side after a horror Champions League campaign culminated in a 4-2 capitulation against Paris Saint-Germain last week.
Yet while City needed a win to have any chance of qualification – they are now staring down the barrel of elimination.
Pep Guardiola’s side have to beat Club Brugge and then hope other results go their way.
Do Champions League teams drop into the Europa League if they don’t qualify?
In previous years, teams that struggled during the Champions League group stage always had the safety blanket of dropping down into the Europa League.
Chelsea famously became the first team to win the Champions League and Europa League in consecutive seasons in 2012 and 2013.
The Blues won in Munich under Roberto Di Matteo but six months later were dumped out of the group stage – costing Di Matteo his job – and moved into the secondary competition.
Rafa Benitez took charge and lead the team to Europa League glory in Amsterdam.
But teams won’t be able to go down that route anymore.
The expanded Champions League – which has seen an increase in teams and a dramatic change in the format – means teams will no longer drop into the Europa League.
The new 36-team format sees the top eight in the league phase qualify automatically for the last 16.
Teams that finish 9 to 24 are then entered into a draw to play a two-legged tie to make it into the last 16.
The teams that finish 25th to 36th are then ELIMINATED from ALL European competition.
Dad sobs ‘it’s not f****** fair’ as he reveals horror moment he ran over and killed son, 3, with ‘broken farm vehicle’
A HORRIFIED dad sobbed as he recounted the moment he ran over and killed his three-year-old son with a “broken” farm vehicle, a court heard.
Little Albie suffered catastrophic head injuries in the horror at 39-year-old dad Neil Speakman’s farm in Bury, Greater Manchester.
The collision happened in a yard next to a small garden area at the front of the farmhouse in Bentley Hall Road, Walshaw.
Albie had been playing unsupervised in a small garden when he wandered into the “unfenced” area where Speakman was working.
Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court was told that Neil was driving a borrowed telehandler machine that was missing a wing mirror amid various other defects.
Speakman denies gross negligence manslaughter.
Giving evidence at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court today, Speakman told jurors that because the telehandler had a missing wing mirror he would “check profusely” for blind spots but he did not see his son.
He said: “I am always careful in what I do. He was my little boy.”
Wiping away tears, he added: “I shouldn’t have to do this. It’s f****** not fair.”
Asked to describe what happened next, he said: “You felt a bump instantly. I had travelled 10cm, 20cm…I stopped instantly. It was a split second.
“I looked right and saw his legs, and jumped off.”
Speakman told his barrister Alexander Leach KC that he was “more than competent” at driving his neighbour’s telehandler, which he said he had used “200/300 times easily”.
He said: “I looked over both shoulders a number of times, I have gone fully round, 180 degrees.
“If I thought Albie was even an inch into that yard I would never have moved that vehicle. If I thought for one second he was not on that grass I would not even have moved that stupid thing.”
He told prosecutor John Elvidge KC, cross-examining: “It was a tragic accident. I made a mistake.”
Mr Elvidge said: “Tell us what you did to stop Albie coming close to a moving vehicle before he was struck by the telehandler.”
Speakman replied: “I checked every possible blind spot. I checked he was not there. I couldn’t have checked more.
“I profusely checked. It was not humanly possible to check even more, Why would I risk my boy’s f****** safety?”
Asked why he had not put Albie inside the farmhouse, he said: “It was 33 degrees. He wanted to play outside with his dogs. It was his family home.”
Mr Elvidge said: “Is it your position that Albie aged three know to manage his own safety on the farm?”
Speakman said: “He knew dangers. I shouldn’t have left him in the garden. We all know that. Is it truly exceptional bad behaviour, neglectful behaviour? No.
“I messed up, I shouldn’t have left him there.”
‘RUINED MY LIFE’
The dad continued: “It’s one bit of human error for a split second which has ruined my life.”
Speakman said that “seconds before” the collision he had seen his son sat in the garden playing with the family dogs.
He said: “I have looked behind to the best of my ability. Not for a second would I risk his life. He is the best thing that’s ever happened…”
The prosecution alleges Speakman disregarded a warning in 2020 from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) about the use of another piece of farm machinery with a lifting bucket attached.
A letter was said to have been sent by the HSE to warn him of potentially fatal consequences after the emergence of a video posted on social media.
It showed a teenager inside the bucket in the air as the defendant moves the vehicle and is heard to say: “I’m going to drop you”.
But Speakman denied he had received any such letter and told the court the family had had problems with missing post.
Speakman has pleaded guilty to a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act in failing to ensure, so far as reasonably practical, the health and safety of Albie.
The trial continues.
