Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola has finally dropped VERY SAD News regarding Matheus Nunes injury update this morning 💔😔
Matheus Nunes, a star player for Manchester City, hurt his finger very badly during their easy Champions League win over Copenhagen.
After beating Denmark 3-1 in the first game, Pep Guardiola’s team easily made it to the quarterfinals with another big win by the same score. Goals from Manuel Akanji, Julian Alvarez, and Erling Haaland sealed the deal. Guardiola gave Nunes his third start in City’s last four games. He had to wait since he moved from Wolves for £53 million last summer.
But about halfway through the second half, the 25-year-old player tripped and hit his left hand in a bad way. Then, Nunes was seen on the ground, in a lot of pain, with his middle finger bent out of place.
The Portugal international was quickly replaced by a young player named Micah Hamilton. He will have his fingers bandaged up and will hopefully be ready for Sunday’s huge game against Liverpool. If City wins, they will be two points ahead of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. If they lose, they will be four points behind.
On social media, pictures of Nunes’ injury were shared. One fan said, “At the time, I thought Nunes was just being a bit soft.” “Just saw his finger make a puke face.”
“As a custodian, I played on with a dislocated finger, and Matheus Nunes has gone off with one tonight,” Shay Given joked on BBC Radio 5 Live. “Maybe I’m out of date.”
In the end, it was a good night for the holders, who worked hard in the first match. In round two, which took place at the Etihad on Wednesday, the home team went ahead 2-0 in the first nine minutes thanks to goals from Akanji and Alvarez. However, Copenhagen scored a goal through ex-Southampton and Celtic winger Mohamed Elyounoussi, who finished off a brilliant move.

However, Haaland scored his seventh goal in three games just before halftime to give City a four-goal lead overall. Guardianade told TNT Sports after the win, “We’re through to the next round.” We are still in this race. Copenhagen is well organised and plays four or five at the back, making it hard to hit them.
City now has to wait to see who they will play in the quarterfinals. The draw is set for next Friday, March 15, at 11 a.m. “Listen, we’re up against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich,” the manager who won the treble said. “We don’t know who we’ll be up against.” We will have to wait and see. It’s important that we’ve been there seven years in a row.
