“This is a must-win game, so I won’t repeat the same mistake I made in the past by giving him a starting spot. I owe the fans this match,” Pep Guardiola reveals the one Manchester City player who will not start in the Champions League, despite being a regular starter until now.

Manchester City will face Feyenoord in a Champions League match on Tuesday, offering them a chance to end their current losing streak.

After suffering a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, City has now lost five consecutive games, marking the first time in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career.

The team’s recent form has been poor, including a 4-1 loss to Sporting in their previous Champions League match, leaving them in 10th place in the competition’s group standings.

Ahead of the Feyenoord game, Guardiola gave an update on the team’s injuries. Kevin De Bruyne, who has been sidelined with a hamstring issue, is now reportedly pain-free.

De Bruyne returned to the squad before the international break but has made only brief appearances in City’s last two Premier League matches. Guardiola’s update suggests that De Bruyne could play a more prominent role in the upcoming fixture.
