There are nine new players in Guardiola's #mcfc squad this year, but how many improve the starting XI? Maybe just Donnarumma? Questions might soon be asked of the 2025 spending spree and whether the strategy was the right one

Pep Guardiola barely ever rings the changes in the Champions League without qualification secured. Last night was a gamble and it all felt a little unnecessary. It has raised the stakes for #mcfc in two more games

Foden with a good ball into Haaland. Tries to go round Flekken but doesn't get enough on his touch and the goalkeeper saves well #mcfc

Cherki and Haaland for Khusanov and Marmoush #mcfc

2-0 Leverkusen - Schick

Kolo Toure out to the edge of the technical area to try and get #mcfc going. Good header into the corner of Trafford's net and now this is a big problem for City

O'Reilly, Foden and Doku all coming on #mcfc

This City side looking a lot like a team that has never played together before. Which makes sense... #mcfc

1-0 Leverkusen - Grimaldo

Now there's something to report. Leverkusen had a couple of dangerous breaks and they make this one count. Grimaldo powering home a half-volley at the back post #mcfc

Very little to report midway through the first half. City not looking particularly fluid at the moment, which is probably no great surprise given the changes #mcfc
November 25, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Pep Guardiola makes 10 changes for City's Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen. Nico Gonzalez the only player to keep his place.

FT: Newcastle 2 City 1

Defeat for #mcfc at St James' Park. A wild game. Donnarumma and Tindall continuing their war of words at full-time. Donnarumma with an icy stare towards Newcastle's assistant
November 22, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Reijnders, Doku and Savinho on for Silva, Cherki and Doku #mcfc
November 22, 2025 at 7:04 PM
A lengthy VAR check - but for offside rather than a foul. Goal given #mcfc
November 22, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Donnarumma livid that a free-kick hasn't been given. Possibly for a foul on him from the corner, or possibly climbing by Woltemade. He's booked for his protests before getting involved in a prolonged argument with - and you'll never believe this - Jason Tindall #mcfc
