I don't think there is any analogy between Real and City now. Real is first in La Liga (with one defeat), and City is 5th in the Premier League (with 4 defeats and 11 points behind the leader).
As for injuries, all teams suffer from them, but somehow cope. The nosedive that City has found itself in is unprecedented.
We were not prepared to see Manchester City fall like this. Manchester City is the best club in the Premier League. In the last few years, we have only seen Manchester City dominate in the Premier League. Manchester City started this season very well. But City's performance in the last few matches has been very disappointing.
Manchester City is now in fifth place in the points table after losing four consecutive matches. I don't know when Manchester City last faced such a disaster. It will not be possible for Manchester City to compete for the Premier League title this season. Manchester City should now try their best to stay in the top four of the points table.
