one of the factors to make them go down is maybe taking advantage of their pretty busy schedule and this must be maximized well next week they will face fullham in the FA Cup and maybe this will not have much impact because I feel they will display some of their reserves. but maybe for UCL this will be different, even though they will be seeded against Sporting CP. But of course this will make them think again in concocting racik so that the players are not tired to face tottenham.
This tight schedule must be used by other teams so that City can at least not go too far in getting points

It is true that in football anything can happen, even in the Champions League. But it will be very difficult for Sporting CP to create great wear on Man City. They can make it difficult to attack, because they play very defensively and not against attack, but create difficulties I have serious doubts.

on the other hand this will also be a gamble for Pep in managing their squad so they don't get tired.
For UCL, I think maybe it's sporting here if they can't keep up with the city's movements, of course they will focus on defending and relying on counter attacks and at least get a draw.
It is very interesting what steps Pep will show in gathering a team with a busy schedule and many big matches in it.
