Pep Guardiola's side are playing the manager’s 1,000th career match, with his team hosting Liverpool at home.
Manchester City squandered a golden opportunity to take the lead early in the match. Doku won a penalty, but Erling Haaland was unable to beat Giorgi Mamardashvili from the spot.
Remarkably, this was the sixth penalty saved by the Georgia national team goalkeeper since the start of the 2023/24 season. That’s the best record for any goalkeeper across Europe’s top five leagues during this period.
Let’s recall, the 25-year-old goalkeeper has become the first-choice for Arne Slot’s team after Alisson’s injury. This season, Mamardashvili has played eight matches and kept two clean sheets.
