Manchester City, which has won four consecutive English Premier League (EPL), experienced its first defeat in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) phase. Coincidentally, Sporting Lisbon coach Hoobeng Amorim, the next head coach of the "rival" Manchester United, took a blow.

Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, was completely defeated by Sporting 1-4 in the fourth round of the 2024-25 UCL league phase at Istadieu José Alballad in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 6th.

Manchester City was outscored by Phil Foden's first goal in the early hours of the day. However, Manchester City gave up the tying goal to Victor Jockeres and ended up losing three goals in the second half. Erling Holan missed the penalty kick (PK). On the other hand, the team's defense line collapsed, allowing the opponent team to cheat twice.

Meanwhile, Manchester City fell into a three-game losing streak as a result of that day. It was Guardiola, who recently expressed his concerns about the depth due to the team's injury and sluggishness, but he seems to be having difficulty playing in various tournaments. It is the first time in six years and seven months that Manchester City has won three consecutive official matches since April 2018.

It was Manchester City that hit the ball first. Sporting's defense team tried to build up in the fourth minute of the first half and handed the ball over to Foden's pressure. Foden entered the box and shook the net with a powerful left-footed shot.

Sporting, who gave up the first goal, faced Manchester City with a quick counterattack. In the 8th minute of the first half, Jockeres faced a one-on-one chance after completely attacking the back of the defense. Jockeres attempted a chip shot, but Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson lightly hit it. 메이저놀이터

In the same situation, Joquez did not miss an opportunity. After receiving a through pass from Giovanni Kenta in the 38th minute of the first half, he balanced it by scoring a right-footed shot into the net.

For Manchester City, it was regrettable that Holan and Foden missed the opportunity to score additional goals.

Sporting continued to counterattack in the second half. Maximiliano Araujo scored a come-from-behind goal just one minute into the second half. Pedro Gonsalves drilled through the left side and delivered the correct pass to Araujo to shake Manchester City's defense.
