Manchester City’s Nightmare Continues

Manchester City is experiencing its worst streak in recent years, with manager Pep Guardiola facing his most challenging period since joining the club in 2016. Despite recently renewing his contract, the team’s performance has been abysmal: in the last twelve matches, they have lost nine, drawn two, and won only one.

This unprecedented poor run under Guardiola, coupled with ongoing legal issues with the Premier League, has plunged the club into a institutional crisis. City, which has dominated English competitions for years, now finds itself in unfamiliar territory.

Title Hopes Fading

The current slump could cost Manchester City several titles. They currently sit seventh in the Premier League with 27 points, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool. This gap makes it unlikely for City to secure their sixth consecutive Premier League title. Their new goal may be simply qualifying for the Champions League, as they’re only four points away from the qualifying spots.

In Europe, City’s struggles continue. With only eight points from six Champions League group stage matches, they risk missing out on direct qualification for the round of 16. Their upcoming match against PSG at the Parc des Princes on January 22 is crucial – a loss could potentially eliminate them from the competition.

While Manchester City still has a chance to improve in both the Premier League and Champions League, it’s surprising to see a team that has dominated these competitions for so long struggling to compete in December. The team’s next challenges include hosting Everton on December 26 and visiting Leicester City on December 29 during the busy Boxing Day period.
