I am completely downplaying Manchester City's chances of doing well in the Champions League. Although they have had dominance in the past, their performance against top teams is currently not good at all. Even in the local league, their performance doesn’t seem to push them towards winning the title. Especially this season in the Champions League, they are disappointing. It seems like they forget how to perform in big matches. The next two Champions League matches are against PSG and Club Brugge. While they are more likely to win these two matches, I still have a question about how much they can achieve this season. However, to secure victories in these games, Manchester City must perform competitively.
But there is one Man City tradition that must be watched out for from season to season, they are very dangerous when entering the beginning of the year. In the EPL, this is a dangerous phase for Arsenal and Liverpool because Man City always step on the gas when entering January, their points always increase when entering the middle of the season. Yes, if you look at the standings it does seem impossible, but I am sure they will finish in the top four.
Likewise with the UCL League, Man City this season is indeed bad, very different from previous seasons they passed the group stage easily. This season, let alone easy, they even had difficulty qualifying for the play-off round, Man City must sweep the remaining two matches and the toughest is against PSG. But in my opinion if they succeed in sweeping the remaining two matches I am sure Man City will be considered again in the UCL this season because of course after going through a difficult period their confidence has increased.
