Manchester, England – Who go believe say Bayer Leverkusen fit shock Manchester City for their own backyard? Last night, dem don knack City 2-0 for Champions League match wey plenty people no see coming. E be like say Guardiola wan show us say him fit do without Haaland, but the coach’s strategy no land well for this one.
As dem start di game, City wey dey play for home no gree foot move. Na Leverkusen, with their young players them, wey dey on point and ready to grind. Dem start dey shine despite plenty wahala for travel wey dem face before di match. De players even find am hard to land from di plane because dem luggage no follow dem. (Chai, wetin dey happen?)
Alejandro Grimaldo, di captain for Leverkusen, open di scoring for 23rd minute with one sharp finish wey pass through defense like dem no dey there. Di wahala no end for City as dem struggle to find any rhythm. Flekken, di Leverkusen goalkeeper, dey shine like star for goal, blocking shots like say dem no fit come near him.
As di game dey go, Guardiola decide say time don reach to bring in di heavyweights. Na so he call Haaland wey dey warm bench to enter game small for 70th minute. But e no stop Leverkusen as dem hold their ground dey prevent any comeback. (E be like say dem don set otu demself properly!)
For di end, di young boys for Leverkusen show dem say experience no dey matter when you sabi wetin to do for pitch. Dem gree only six points from di competition round, so all eyes dey on dem as dem prepare for next match against Newcastle United. As for City, dem go need serious refocus, or dem go find demself dropping from di title race. Dem don already dey lag behind Arsenal for leaderboard, and no be wetin dem expect to happen.
So, my paddy, as we dey sip palm wine, make we watch wetin go happen next because di football season still dey fresh, and surprises no fit end!
