From comebacks to controversies, join us as we dive into Man City's wild match against Crystal Palace and their rocky start to the World Cup campaign!

Manchester City faced a grueling test as they battled Crystal Palace to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park. With their squad riddled with injuries and under-performing stars, Pep Guardiola couldn't help but express his pride in his team's resilience, showcasing a fighting spirit that keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Even with one of their players controversially sent off, City managed to claw back from behind twice, leveling the score in an encounter that had everything from excitement to exasperation.

The match was a hot topic among football pundits, with many dissecting the errors that led to City dropping crucial points. Rico Lewis, who was at the center of the controversy after his sending off, was rated poorly for his performance, highlighting the tough times the champions are currently experiencing.
