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.
You are right, Manchester City not as good we all knew them in the past twos seasons, they have some setback since Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri get injured in the beginning of the season, since then, they have been struggling in all competitions until recently that they get back on track in the Premier League; can they have an improved performance in the Champions League as well even though Rodri is still injured?
Manchester City’s last two Champions League group stage games are against PSG and Club Brugge; I believe they can win the two matches to make it to the next phase of the Champions League, but at the same time, PSG will also want to win their match against Manchester City so that they can also increase their chance of making it to the playoffs against knockout stage; however, we can’t conclude because PSG will be plying at home, so even though their Champions League performance is not too good, they can still hold Manchester City to a draw, and if it happen that way, it will be hard for Manchester City to qualify to the next stage of the Champions League.
