Haaland’s earlier penalty miss (⚡ saved by Bournemouth’s Kepa Arrizabalaga!) and a chaotic goal by Evanilson had fans sweating, but Pep Guardiola’s halftime tweaks flipped the script. Enter Nico O’Reilly, the 20-year-old midfielder-turned-left-back who became the unofficial MVP, setting up both City goals. 🎯
Young Guns Step Up
