Manchester City-Sparta Prague is a match valid for the third day of the new Champions League. Where to watch it on TV, streaming, lineups and predictions
Manchester City also seems to have learned another art: that of suffering. Yes, because this year Guardiola’s team found itself under several times during the course of the season: but it suffered, as mentioned, managed to climb back up, and then even won. Just as happened in the last round of the Premier League with the three points won in the 95th minute that allowed the Citizens to stay in the wake of Liverpool, which continues to win.
That said, it is clear that after a draw and a win in the first two outings of this new Champions League, the engagement against the hapless Sparta Prague (yes, these are matches that in no way can bring points) also comes to perhaps give someone a breather. We know very well how much Guardiola cares about this cup, but even he knows very well that perhaps in matches like this, in which the gap in what to call a huge gap is putting it mildly, it would be appropriate to leave someone out. Certainly, rumors on the eve point to a full City, perhaps to try to put it all and immediately down or perhaps to face what looks like a real Thursday practice against a lower-ranked team.
Of technical cues there may be few even for the little thing that is Sparta Prague. Guardiola will never say that, but he will certainly think so. There are teams who are in this competition, indeed who are in it every year, who try hard to get then into the second phase but never make it. The Czechs are one of them. They will enjoy the outing, nothing more.
