Manchester City took to the field this Tuesday (20th) with the mission of leaving behind the bad image from the defeat to United.
However, Guardiola's team went into halftime being defeated by Bodø/Glimt on Norwegian soil, playing at the small Aspmyra Stadium.
Kasper Hogh, who had not scored in the Champions League, netted both goals for the partial 2-0 victory in the seventh round of the league phase of the tournament.
It's the number 9 who is making the difference.
Bodø/Glimt is seeking their first triumph in the prestigious phase of the Champions League.
Where's the defense, Pep?
Still without Guéhi and suffering from defensive absences, Guardiola relied on young Alleyne and Khusanov in the back line.
They didn't understand each other. And the home team took advantage.
Hogh opened the scoring at 22 minutes after receiving a cross completely unmarked.
And extended the lead two minutes later after Alleyne missed the ball.
Hogh still had a great chance for a third, but missed after a good play by Hauge.
City had the expected greater possession. But it wasn't productive.
Haaland's big chance came at 45', but the shot grazed the right post.
City remains with 13 points. They are currently in fourth place.
Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt is reaching six points and nurturing a chance to advance to the round of 16 playoffs.
