Didn't you see that if Manchester City used some of the second-string players in this match, Haaland as the most reliable main striker also did not seem to play very well and not like when he was in big match.
Manchester City game was not optimal and they looked quite pressured so that it was difficult to penetrate Manchester United defense to create an advantage from the start.
Using second string players does not mean not serious in the match and it seems you have to look back if Pep Guardiola does not fully use second string players but combines main players and second string players and that means there is seriousness in the match.
When you doubt Man City who use second string players, it is actually a big mistake because even though they are only reserve players, they also have good quality talent and in fact can score 1 score in return for 1 score obtained by Man Utd.
I also bet on this match and in 1x2 the result was 1-1 draw, if Manchester City played seriously then I sure they could get an absolute victory and not from penalty shootout.
If you bet 1x2 it means you are betting on Man City to win and it means you are betraying your own doubts.
Whereas you previously said that you were very doubtful that Man City would be the favorite in the match.
