I also doubt Man city for this season. But I hope they can at least qualify for the next stage even though they have to go through the play-offs first. And actually this week Man City really faced a tough challenge. because they have to collect full points so they can stay in the play-off zone. But it will be a little difficult with their current condition considering that the team they will face is also a strong team, namely PSG.
Luckily, PSG also experienced a series of poor results in the UCL. So I will not favor anyone in this match. Because for me these two teams make me doubt.
In this state, you can expect them not to be able to go further, if PSG can beat them, which is possible, then City may be left without the playoffs. I can't yet assess whether this is so bad, because if they can do it now, but then get a strong opponent and cannot get through the 1/16 finals, then it's the same thing. Maybe by some miracle City will now begin to emerge from the crisis of scoring a lot of goals (more than they concede, because they concede too many), and then everything will change for the better, but for now everything is the same and it seems that Guardiola does not know how to fix it.
