surely Manchester City is one of the favorite teams to win the title since it is a stable and strong team
Furthermore Pep Guardiola is a young and modern coach. all his techniques are extremely useful and cutting edge
I see Manchester City as the only one who can win this year

I doubt this Pep Guardiola's ageing squad would be able to lift up this current champions league competition,  asides that, they have inconsistent kdb and also the Ballon d'Or winner Rodri who's currently injured until next season. I thought the return of Ilkay Gundogan would have helped matters but they're still subpar lately. Talks of winning Fenyoord when they're yet to win Tottenham cracks me up. Can we just take the season gradually? City are not even favorites for the premier league and you lots be talking bout the champions league?  Smiley
Manchester City might not be able to win the Champions League this season. Manchester City has undeniably lost its two most important players, with Kevin De Bruyne struggling with inconsistency due to injuries and also Rodri being out of the season due to injuries,

Manchester City are gradually becoming a shadow of their former selves this season. Their recent dip in form and current recent injury struggles has really affected them from maintaining their usually dominance. I don't think Manchester City can really call themselves title favourites this season.
There's no sign to show that Manchester City is capable of winning UCL or to be on the finals this season. The team is facing hard times due to injuries, and the bad part of it is that in UCL any club can take advantage of your weakness for easy step up to the next level.

What Pep needs to focus on currently, is how he can manage the other players that he has so that more don't get injured, if not it will be a disaster to the club. I don't see Manchester City winning their domestic league this season, because Rodri injury put him out of the season.
