"Manchester City were defeated 3-1 by Bodo Glimt in the Champions League to put their top 8 qualification in jeopardy and to suffer back-to-back competitive defeats for the third time this season, having lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their previous game. City were without new signings Guehi and Semenyo due to ineligibility and Bernardo was suspended. Donnarumma started in goal. Ait-Nouri, Alleyne, Khusanov, and O'Reilly were in defence. Lewis, Reijnders, and Rodri were in midfield and Foden, Cherki, and Haaland were in attack."
"Like at the weekend, City appeared to struggle from the get-go and couldn't create any clear-cut chances, while the defence was under pressure whenever Bodo had possession of the ball. Bodo, who hadn't played a competitive game in almost 2 months, had certainly come to give the Blues a game and used a lethal high press. In the 20th minute, the first goal came from the home side when a cross into striker Hogh who headed it past Donnarumma to make it 1-0."
Manchester City lost 3-1 to Bodo Glimt, jeopardizing Champions League top-eight qualification and marking back-to-back competitive defeats. City were missing new signings Guehi and Semenyo through ineligibility and Bernardo through suspension. Donnarumma started in goal with Ait-Nouri, Alleyne, Khusanov and O'Reilly in defence, Lewis, Reijnders and Rodri in midfield, and Foden, Cherki and Haaland up front. Bodo, after almost two months without competitive action, applied a lethal high press and exploited defensive disorganisation. Hogh scored twice from crosses in quick succession and Bodo added a third in the second half. City dominated possession but created few clear chances and missed opportunities, including a wide Haaland effort.
