Interestingly, the team's young defender, Uzbekistan's Abduqodir Husanov, was not included in the squad. Sources report that this decision was made for tactical reasons. Guardiola likes to trust young players, so Husanov is expected to get a chance in the upcoming matches.
Thus, the next round for Manchester City fans has concluded in a festive atmosphere. The team once again demonstrated its dominance in the Premier League championship race with their signature style of play.
In the next round, the Citizens will compete in Europe. This is a new challenge for Haaland and his teammates, but their current mood and form give fans great hope.
