Juventus 2-0 Man City LIVE reaction with City in serious Champions League trouble
Manchester City are at risk of not qualifying for the Champions League last-16 after another worrying defeat.
Pep Guardiola made three changes from the team that drew 2-2 at Crystal Palace with Ederson, Jack Grealish, and Jeremy Doku coming back into the team, and the Blues had the better of a goalless first half. However, the defence and midfield went missing in the second half as Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie claimed victory for a Juventus side that had been booed off by their own fans in midweek.
The result leaves City on eight points from six games, in 22nd place in a league table where only the top 24 stand a chance of making the Champions League last-16. Their next game takes them to French champions Paris Saint-Germain, who also badly need a win as they currently sit outside the top 24.
City also have the Manchester derby on Sunday to consider, where they will not want to lose more ground in the Premier League.
Stick with us for all the reaction and to see how it happened.
City lose again
And that's it. One win in 10 from City for their last 10 and seven of those are defeats. Their last three games in the Champions League have been defeats to Juventus and Sporting, and a collapse against Feyenoord to draw after being 3-0 up with 15 minutes to go. They've not been this bad since Stuart Peace was in charge. Trouble.
Still nothing
City are still nowhere close to getting a goal back. They've got plenty of possession but they've had that all game and not done enough with it. It's funny how the balance can tip from competent to careless but City have paid for not being risky enough going forward and being too risky at the back. Nobody is suggesting they can change the sorry story.
Juventus score again!
City had done better but are stretched at the back and substitute Weah crosses for McKennie to score Juventus's second and surely that is the end of the game for Guardiola's side. Savinho is coming on but there is so much to do.
City pressure
City really are trying. Gundogan had a good effort tipped wide of the post and nearly got in from the corner after a nice pass inside from Bernardo Silva. Juventus are defending doggedly - but they still have their lead. No subs yet from Guardiola, so Foden either isn't fit or just isn't backed to make the difference.
Back underway
And with very little to say. Either City are doing brilliantly to keep catching Juventus offside or the Italians aren't terrific at staying on, but any foray forward for them keeps ending like that. It looks like two teams low on confidence scratching around for something to spark them, which is hardly surprising but not thrilling either.
