Controversy about Halland's absence from Real Madrid's confrontation

Jimmy Carraj, the former Liverpool star, and analyst for "CBS SPORTS", has sparked widespread controversy over the absence of Norwegian Earleng Halland from Manchester City's confrontation against Real Madrid in the qualifying attaché for the round of 16 of the Champions League, which ended with the victory of the Royal 3/1, to bid farewell to City The tournament with a total of two games 6/3.

During his analysis of the match, Karagger asked about the real reason behind Halland's absence despite his presence on the bench, saying: "Did Halland went to Guardiola this morning and told him that he was inappropriate?

He suggested that the presence of German defender Antonio Rudiger, who returned from injury and participated mainly, may be the cause of Halland's lack of participation, referring to the strong physical confrontations between them previously.

For his part, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, explained that Halland's absence came due to his suffering from some pain, but Cargar was not convinced, considering that the Norwegian star was able to play.

After the loss, Halland commented through his official account on the "X" platform, saying: "We remain united as one entity, sometimes you have to go through these experiences in life and learn from them, so you cannot always win, we will rise together again."
