Recently, he’s experienced some challenging days. Teammate Sadio Mane struck Sane in the face during a heated exchange in the dressing room after their 3-0 loss at the Etihad last week.
He was also at blame for the Bavarians’ wasted opportunity the previous night when he went one-on-one with City custodian Ederson and clipped his attempt just wide of the post.
It was obvious that Guardiola felt deeply for his former player. Rational participated on numerous occasions while under his instruction at City, scoring 39 goals and winning seven trophies, including two Chief Association awards.
Despite winning the Champions League in 2020, Bayern Munich failed to get past the quarterfinals in any of the following three seasons.
In 2021 and 2022, respectively, PSG and Villarreal defeated them, and in 2021 and 2022, it was Manchester City’s turn to end their eight-game winning streak.
At the Etihad, the Bavarians laboured and lost 3-0. At home, although playing better, they could only manage a 1-1 draw.

Although Dayot Upamecano’s defensive repulsions and a few lost opportunities ultimately cost them the tie, Thomas Tuchel is doing his best to make the most of them.
It appeared like the German may lead the team to great heights this season after starting his career with a 4-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
However, matters have now gotten worse because Bayern has also been eliminated from the DFB Pokal.
Despite winning the Bundesliga, their 2022–23 season was a complete failure.
