Manchester City returned to the training pitch at the City Football Academy (CFA) on Sunday, determined to put Saturday’s Premier League disappointment behind them and shift focus to the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola’s squad looked sharp and spirited as preparations ramped up for Tuesday’s showdown against Dutch side Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium.
The clash marks a crucial juncture in City’s European campaign. After a tough start to the group stage, the Blues sit 10th in the overall Champions League standings, just outside the top eight. A victory on Tuesday would be a major step toward securing an automatic spot in the knockout stages.
Guardiola, ever the perfectionist, was seen overseeing an intense session designed to fine-tune tactics and re-energize his players. The mood at training suggested the squad is ready to bounce back after the weekend’s setback against Spurs.
With the likes of Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku potentially still unavailable due to injuries, Guardiola may need to shuffle his deck once again. However, there’s no doubting the determination of the squad to deliver on Europe’s biggest stage.
Tuesday’s encounter with Feyenoord is a chance for the Cityzens to get back to winning ways and reignite their Champions League charge. Fans will be hoping for a dominant display to match the electric atmosphere that’s expected at the Etihad.
Stay tuned as the Blues look to turn their fortunes around in style.
