Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has explained the strange cut on his nose and scratches on his forehead after the deflating 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.
Let us remember that the cuts were noticed when he arrived at the Etihad Stadium for the match.
And after the game, he also suffered some head scratches as he watched his team blow a 3-0 lead.
It means City have failed to win their last six games, the first time this has happened since their first season in the Premier League eight years ago.
“I cut it with my finger.” Guardiola said at a press conference.
The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach then seemed to joke: “I want to get hurt.”
City looked to be heading towards a comfortable victory after two goals from Erling Haaland and one from Ilkay Gundogan gave them a 3-0 lead early in the second half.
But some impressive defending saw them concede three times in the final 15 minutes.
