Rodri return can't guarantee anything as a playmaker. I mean what Manchester need right now is to restore the confidence of the players on the pitch and Pep Guardiola is not providing that. There are still many factors why Manchester City lost their best game, including external factors that are still running until now. From all those defeats I saw the Manchester City players lose the passion to play.

Right, there is no guarantee that Rodri's return will be able to bring City back to the top of its game. I agree with what you said, several factors are the cause of the decline in performance of Manchester City players. and Pep is still adamant about rotating some of his players, even though he can play his best squad even without Rodri. btw, this is only based on my assumptions and observations. besides that, as you said, City seems to have lost their passion to play and even win matches, they have experienced a series of defeats in several matches and also in this competition. now, the question is whether Pep will fight for his team to qualify for the next phase. this is interesting because they are struggling and need a strong spirit to restore their passion for playing. in the 7th session they will visit PSG's headquarters, both teams need a win. interestingly, this match brings together two former coaches who once led Barcelona to become champions.
