Manchester City secured a 4-0 victory against Slovan Bratislava in their first away match of the Champions League campaign, with goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and James McAtee. Despite Haaland being substituted in the 60th minute, Guardiola emphasized the need to protect the striker due to a previous injury and the demanding schedule ahead. Haaland’s impressive scoring record and significance to City’s attack make it crucial for Guardiola to manage his game time effectively to prevent any potential injuries and maintain his form throughout the season.
With just one predominant striker in the squad, Guardiola will rely heavily on Haaland’s goalscoring abilities in upcoming matches, including the next game against Fulham. As City aims to secure a win after drawing their previous Premier League matches, Guardiola will prioritize ensuring that Haaland remains fresh and fit to contribute to the team’s success. The manager’s cautious approach to managing Haaland’s game time reflects the importance of the striker in City’s pursuit of silverware this season.
