Wayne Rooney has claimed that Pep Guardiola will be worried about the way of the late collapse of Manchester City to lose 3-2 to Real Madrid in the first stage of Champions League play-off.
The ruling Premier League champions had led 2-1 in the final phase in the Etihad, where Erling Haaland scored his second of the night from the penalty place after Kylian Mbappe had leveled for the visitors.
The good work of Man City was unraveled late when Brahim Diaz was the same in the 86th minute, before Jude Bellingham took a stop -time winner for the defensive European champions.
The result leaves Man City with a tough battle to stay in the Champions League, with the Guardiola side to turn the draw in Madrid next week.
Rooney, who made his debut for Amazon Prime as an expert, believes that Guardiola will be the most worried by Man City players who don't seem to miss confidence in their teammates while they try to manage competitions.
“There was a lot of naivety on the part of Manchester City, especially at the end of the game,” said Rooney.
'Tonight the players looked at each other, they hardly believed, and I think that is something that Guardiola worries.
“If you win 2-1 against Real Madrid and you have a game for you at the Bernabeu, you have to say,” Let's be wise, “let them have the ball in their half, reset. “
The capitulation of Man City against Real Madrid continued a worrying theme this season after he had previously not held leads in the competition to Feyenoord and PSG in the competition phase.
Man City also collapsed in the final phase of Premier League matches, including passing a 2-0 lead against Brentford last month to draw.
They also admitted twice to losing the Manchester Derby 2-1 in December.
Guardiola admitted that he gave up 'too often' this season.
“Today was tight and in certain times we had opportunities,” said Guardiola. 'Many games that we give away. In that level it is so difficult. It is not the first time, it often happens.
'There are errors in similar areas. It is hard to manage, but yes, it often happens.
'Players make decisions at the moment, sometimes it works and sometimes not. We arrived at the last minute with the result, but we couldn't keep it.
'It's all of us, not just the players. I have no problem accepting that it doesn't work as it worked in the past. It's all of us.
“They want it, how they run and how they do it, but the truth is that we are not stable enough in the moments.”
His comments were reflected by John Stones, in which the defender acknowledged that they should see 'Games Better Autout' and called for more accountability in the MAN City team.
