GUARDIOLA PRAISES MANCHESTER CITY’S COLLECTIVE EFFORT BOOSTING HAALAND’S SCORING POWER
Pep Guardiola praised goalscorers Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva after Man City's 2-0 UCL win at Villarreal. The boss was happy with the control and clean sheet, highlighting the importance of scoring from different sources.

When Manchester City defeated Villarreal 2-0 on Tuesday, Pep Guardiola was happy to see another name on the scoreboard.
Erling Haaland almost unavoidably scored again as City won their first Champions League away game in six tries, but captain Bernardo Silva's strong header came after his early effort.
After Saturday's 2-0 loss to Everton, in which Haaland scored a brace to give City their seventh goal in all competitions, City manager Guardiola stated that the team could not always count on the Norwegian, who has now scored an incredible 24 goals in 14 appearances for club and country this season.
"I am happy that Bernardo scored with his head and that Erling scored again," Guardiola remarked.
It reminded me a little of Lionel Messi. Like a hammer, actually. Their necks are hammered. Despite their diminutive size, they have excellent head contact.
"I am happy about the victory. Villarreal is a top team, and they had some decent chances.
The first half was excellent, and the atmosphere is positive. We created a strong threat and scored at the appropriate times.
City has now earned seven points from their three league-phase games and is nine games undefeated overall.
For a squad that struggled the previous season and missed the round of 16, it is a healthy place.
Guardiola remarked, "The difference with last season is that we had (injured) guys in the hospital." "We needed to play every three games, and our 15 or 16 guys were becoming exhausted after 70 minutes."
Even if Villarreal caused them some discomfort in the second half, the victory was never truly in question.
"We felt in control for the whole of the game," Guardiola remarked. We can always perform better, and we believe we could have stopped several of their spells, but if we want to win the competition, we must be hard on ourselves.
"A win and a clean sheet make us pleased.
"A game is never over at 2-0, but we were not anxious. We had multiple opportunities, but they had two. This is the result.
"We need to and will improve on the lengthy period it took to force them to play deep."
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
