After that goal from Arlan in the thirty-third minute, many expected City's game to start getting a bit sloppy because they believed some of them would be demoralized after that goal but the opposite was the case so far.
To put it simply, they had no reason to feel demoralized yet since this was just the first half, recovering from a two-goal wasn't something impossible for them.
After all, they recovered from that two-goal deficit against Juventus even though they ended up ultimately losing the match, three goals to two.
The match was in the thirty-ninth minute now and so far, City were doing everything they could to keep the ball away.
For four minutes straight they had possession of the ball but they hadn't really done anything threatening, it looked like they were just passing the ball around for the sake of it, at least that's what it looked like to most people.
