The truth is that once Manchester City get their form back, it is possible they will focus on both the Champions League and their domestic league. However, if Guardiola notices that they are still in average form, he will definitely prefer to focus more on the Premier League so they can finish in a better position in the league table, ensuring Manchester City qualify for next season's Champions League.
Now the question arises, when will they return to their best form?
Currently City are like toothless lions who are having difficulty beating their opponents, they were not even able to beat Everton, let alone when facing a stronger team in the UCL. If Guardiola is able to improve his squad after taking advantage of the January transfer window, he must focus more on the domestic league to be able to compete again in the top four. I'm not sure City can survive much longer in the UCL, they will definitely lose when facing the favorites.
Citty match against PSG will determine if they can survive the group stage. If they fail to win PSG, they are gone. It's only the transfer window that can bring back hope to City because their current players have nothing to offer again for the club. EPL is the only league that City can be hopeful of and that depends on the team's strength after getting new players in January.
Manchester City is performing the worst at the moment which is definitely a good thing for PSG because if they perform well then they can definitely beat Manchester City. We have seen Manchester City's performances in the last few Premier League matches where they have been beaten against much weaker opponents than them. If Manchester City performs the same way against PSG in the Champions League, then PSG will definitely defeat Manchester City and secure the next round of the Champions League. However, there is no such player in the team that PSG can dream of at least qualifying for the Champions League final or semi-final. So I would say that their dreams will probably end in the Super Sixteen or the Quarter Finals.
