Man City draws 1-1 with Middlesbrough, Guardiola says team is worn out
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dismissed the hypothesis his side had suffered from a Champions League hangover in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough, Vanguard reported.
City went into the game on the back of a stirring 3-1 victory over Barcelona in mid-week and took a 43rd-minute lead courtesy of Sergio Aguero’s 150th goal for the club, it continued.
But Marten de Roon’s stoppage-time header earned Boro a point and left City vulnerable to attack from the teams below them in the Premier League table, it added.
