In an hour of tense football action, Manchester City and Inter Milan played out a highly competitive bout but it was Pep Guardiola’s reaction to one massive chance that caught the eye.
Lautaro Martinez managed to capitalise on Manuel Akanji’s misinterpretation of a pass back towards his goal and careered through towards Ederson.
Instead of passing the ball to an onrushing Romelu Lukaku, the Argentine forward attempted a shot at goal that was comfortably saved but the most entertaining action came on the sidelines.
The Spaniard fell to his knees inside his technical area in a moment that we’ve seen many times before but this time, thankfully for him and his supporters, there was no goal to follow.
