Elsewhere Real Madrid and Manchester City back on their losing runs in the champions league and things are not looking good for the best teams in the world, and with how things are going these guys road could be coming to an end, and can't imagine a champions league without the best team in the world .
Its now 3 consecutive losses for Manchester City in all competitions, they lost to Tottenham, Bournemouth and now Sporting. It’s very bad for Guardiola and his team, no one knows where the problem is but they have actually dropped in performance they could lose their title if things continue this way but they are still in the title race.
It’s the story for Real Madrid they have lost 2 games consecutively and also lost their last 2 Champions League matches which makes everyone doubt their ability to win the Champions League this season again. The best teams are currently struggling but i am sure it won’t be for long.
The loss to Tottenham was an intentional one by Pep Guardiola, the unexpected loss was against Bournemouth and Sporting CP. Their fans keep saying that Rodri their best player (2024 Ballon D Or winner) is an injury which is why they lost the game. But that's a flimsy excuse. Manchester City is the Champions of England, so the absence of one player should not be a huge problem for them. At least they should be able to hold some wins in some games before they start losing. Immediately Rodri went on injury they started losing games. I could remember when Odegard, Arsenal's best player was on injury. The team was able to win against PSG, draw Liverpool, draw to Manchester City, and lost a few games but they did better than at first, you wouldn't notice Odegard was injured. Manchester City's loss yesterday was a huge blow to the fans. Pep was trying something new on the pitch and his boys couldn't get clear passes anymore, especially in the second half of the game.
