I have written Man City off as the favourites in UCL, not because I underestimate them, but with this kind of performance it is very difficult to compete with other strong teams.
You are not wrong at all if you cross out Manchester City as a favorite to win the UCL because based on the facts that you have seen yourself that this season Manchester City is experiencing an unstable condition and is even worthy of being said to be bad. So it is very reasonable to doubt it in winning the UCL this season because here there are many strong teams that will continue to compete with more mature preparation so that teams that do not have game stability in every match will find it difficult to win and will even be easier to be eliminated.
Yes, that's right, you are not wrong to cross out Manchester City from the list of clubs favored to become champions, because this is a definite thing based on reasons, one of which is their performance lately. And even to be able to be in the next round, they have to fight even harder. In the standings, they are in 22nd position and it is still very risky if they cannot win in the remaining 2 matches. And even I myself will not be surprised when they have to be eliminated in this round. They will play a life and death match in the remaining 2 matches.
