Beijing time (CEST) on September 9, according to a report from the "Sun", in the first match of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated Porto 2-0 away. In the 40th minute of the first half, Manchester City defender Marc Guehi collided with Porto player Otávio Veiga during a scramble, sparking widespread discussion among fans and commentators.

During Manchester City's match against Porto, Marc Guehi's apparent escape from punishment shocked fans on social media. In the 40th minute of the match, Guehi threw an elbow at Porto midfielder Otávio Veiga during a scramble. Referee Marciniak issued no sanction, but fans were unconvinced. Many social media users stated that the English star deserved a yellow card.

One social media user commented: "Marc Guehi knocked down Otávio Veiga."

Another social media user wrote: "Guehi got away with murder on that foul."

A third social media user stated: "Guehi got lucky. UEFA is always the same."

A fourth social media user said: "Guehi was extremely lucky; that gesture was very dangerous."

Another social media user added: "How did Guehi not receive a red card for that reckless challenge?"

After several minutes of treatment, Veiga continued playing, and the match resumed. However, after the half-time whistle, tension emerged between the two teams.

Manchester City players and staff confronted Porto players as they headed toward the player tunnel. Security personnel on site separated the two groups and ended the conflict.

During the television broadcast, Amazon Prime journalist Gabriel Clarke described the incident.

He stated: "The confrontation between Veiga and Guehi sparked anger, and jostling, arguing, and poor behavior continued among players in the tunnel as they headed to half-time. Security staff from both teams separated them."

Former Chelsea and Everton star Pat Nevin defended Guehi, arguing that his arm could not simply disappear. However, he admitted that the action appeared "reckless."

He stated during the BBC's post-match show: "Where else can you put your arms? If you go up for a header and the opposing player is lower, you cannot simply make your arm disappear.

"The only real argument they have is that Marc Guehi was a bit reckless in what he did. So far, the referee has been absolutely correct in his decisions."
