Bournemouth - Man City leaves Guardiola empty-handed, ex-Benfica miss out | OneFootball

Manchester City failed in their bid to win the Premier League and saw Arsenal put an end to a 22-year wait to win the English title. Pep Guardiola’s side drew 1-1 away to Bournemouth on Tuesday and ended up saying goodbye to their main objective of the season, on a bitter night also for former Benfica players Bernardo Silva and Rúben Dias - who were also called up by Roberto Martínez.

City took to the field knowing they had to win to postpone all decisions until the final round, but they came up against a very well-organised and confident Bournemouth side. Andoni Iraola’s team once again showed the attacking football that defined their season and caused the English champions several problems in the opening minutes.

Despite some dangerous moments created by Doku and Haaland, Bournemouth were the more clinical side in attack. After several threatening moves, Kroupi opened the scoring in the 39th minute, finishing off an excellent team move by the home side and leaving Manchester City in serious trouble.

In the second half, Guardiola tried to change the course of the match with several substitutions, including Bernardo Silva’s withdrawal in the 56th minute, but City never managed to fully take control of the game.

. The final whistle therefore confirmed a huge disappointment for City, who fell short of their main goal for the season.
