But their performance has improved a bit after being in the UCL, they played well against their opponents. Manchester City will try to achieve success this season, I know it's not easy for Guardiola, the player material currently owned makes Manchester City still in the ranks of the favorite team.
Manchester City's next match is against Leipzig. Leipzig is a relatively weaker team compared to Manchester City. So the possibility of Leipzig being eliminated in the round of 16 is very low. Moreover, Manchester City is in very good form right now. I would say Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid will be the favorites to win this season's Champions League.
Even in the Champions League, a club like Leipzig will feel motivated if the opponent is a strong club. However, it seems that Leipzig will not be easily beaten, they in the Bundesliga were able to draw Bayern Munich game so this will be quite interesting because Leipzig is not a weak club. Make no mistake that Man City may underestimate Leipzig, but we will see slightly different results this time in the Champions League.
And one more thing, in the Champions League for the 2021 season, they were able to beat Man City with a score of 2-1 in Group A phase.
