After Man City's 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the early morning of November 27, coach Pep Guardiola appeared with many red scratches on his face and head when answering an interview.
When asked by reporters about the reason for these injuries, he said he caused them himself. Guardiola said: "My finger, scratched my nose. It was my nails. I wanted to hurt myself."
Reporters appear quite worried about Guardiola's condition. Before leaving the press conference room, the Spaniard reassured: "I will be fine".
Fans discovered that right from the match, he had a vertical scar on his nose. It seemed that due to too much pressure, Pep Guardiola accidentally caused injuries.
Man City led Feyenoord by 3 goals but then let their opponent equalize in just the last 15 minutes of the match. The team was booed by fans at the Etihad, as this was a disappointing result after 5 consecutive losses.
Receiving negative reactions from City fans, Guardiola shared: "In the last match against Tottenham where we lost 0-4, they were there to support us, applaud us. Of course, they were disappointed, we understand.
People come here not to remember their past successes. They came here to see the team win and perform well. The fans have always supported us, they have every right to express their feelings, it is completely right."
This weekend, Man City will face Liverpool in the Premier League. If they lose, they will be 11 points behind their opponents in the race for the Premier League title.
