City manager Pep Guardiola has made an unusual decision ahead of a Champions League match. Instead of holding a training session on the day before the game, the team will meet for the first time in the morning of the match day. This approach breaks a tradition that has been followed by the team in European competition for over 20 years. The previous day's training session was canceled, and the team had only a light recovery session at the City Football Academy on the day before the match against Bournemouth. It is speculated that Guardiola's decision may be aimed at allowing his senior players to focus on recovery and rest before the game against Borussia Dortmund. The team's next match is against Dortmund, and it will be the first time they have played without a pre-match training session in the Champions League this century.
