"Manchester City were defeated 3-1 by Bodo Glimt in the Champions League to put their top 8 qualification in jeopardy and to suffer back-to-back competitive defeats for the third time this season, having lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their previous game. City were without new signings Guehi and Semenyo due to ineligibility and Bernardo was suspended. Donnarumma started in goal. Ait-Nouri, Alleyne, Khusanov, and O'Reilly were in defence. Lewis, Reijnders, and Rodri were in midfield and Foden, Cherki, and Haaland were in attack."
"Like at the weekend, City appeared to struggle from the get-go and couldn't create any clear-cut chances, while the defence was under pressure whenever Bodo had possession of the ball. Bodo, who hadn't played a competitive game in almost 2 months, had certainly come to give the Blues a game and used a lethal high press. In the 20th minute, the first goal came from the home side when a cross into striker Hogh who headed it past Donnarumma to make it 1-0."
Manchester City lost 3-1 to Bodo Glimt in the Champions League, putting top-eight qualification in jeopardy and marking consecutive competitive defeats. City were missing new signings Guehi and Semenyo due to ineligibility and Bernardo due to suspension; Donnarumma started with Ait-Nouri, Alleyne, Khusanov and O'Reilly in defence and Lewis, Reijnders and Rodri in midfield. City struggled from the outset, creating few clear chances while Bodo applied a lethal high press despite a long competitive layoff. Bodo opened the scoring in the 20th minute through Hogh and doubled two minutes later; City remained unable to break down the home defence and conceded a third in the second half.
