I watched Pep's interview last week where said he wouldn't have forgiven himself if he had walked away from City at their worst moment but as we can clearly see the storm is not yet over. They are still struggling and they gave away the game like they did against Feyenoord. Manchester City's next game against Club Brugge is a must win but with these strings of performance I'm still skeptical about them making it to the next round.
The next game which is the last game for the standings and will also be a deciding round for Manchester City to be able to progress to the next round will certainly be very crucial for Manchester City because they have to be able to win to be able to progress to the next round without any exceptions. And Club Brugge should also not be underestimated by Manchester City because Club Brugge also drew when they hosted Juventus in the previous match so Club Brugge will also try not to lose at Manchester City's home if Club Brugge cannot win in the last game for this round.
The deciding match for Manchester City to advance to the next round is the heaviest burden for Pep Guardiola to lead the match in the final phase. In the next match, Club Brugge must also win the match otherwise they will be eliminated. Club Brugge is currently very promising to win after drawing with Juventus is in the next match.
Pep Guardiola in his meeting said that he would improve Manchester City from their downturn if they lose this match. Will Pep stay or will he leave?
If it wasn't Pep Guardiola, he would definitely have been fired, and I don't think Guardiola would leave Man City in such a tattered state because it would not only hurt his pride, but it would also tarnish the good name he has worked for.
No one expected that Man City would be ranked 25th in the Champions League standings, but they still have a way to qualify, where they must win their last match against Club Brugge. Man City should have won because they had the advantage of playing at home, but they cannot afford to be careless because Brugge will certainly play to the death for their points advantage over Man City. A draw would knock Man City out of the Champions League.
