Pellegrini mixes up his math as City stops Bayern
Print Edition
Manchester City’s memorable Champions League win over holders Bayern Munich on Tuesday still failed to add up for manager Manuel Pellegrini after he revealed he misunderstood how many goals City needed to top the group.
City ended up second in Group D to Bayern, whose run of 10 consecutive Champions League wins ended after the comeback 3-2 win. Both teams had already qualified for the knockout stage.
The Premier League side could have won the group if they had scored one more goal.
Pellegrini seemed unaware of that fact after the match when he explained he had not brought on striker Sergio Aguero in the second half because he thought they needed two more goals.
“Maybe if we would have scored a fourth goal I would have made the change,” Pellegrini said.
Instead, City brought off striker Edin Dzeko and replaced him with midfielder Jack Rodwell.
A 4-2 win would have been enough for City to top the group on away goals.
“Pellegrini fails his maths test,” said a headline in the Times.
Thomas Mueller and Mario Goetze scored for Bayern while City got goals from David Silva, Aleksandar Kolarov on a penalty, and James Milner.
