That's the reality, good performances don't guarantee a win and that's what Man City are experiencing right now. After losing to PSG, City are now in danger of not qualifying for the next round, City's only chance to advance through the play-offs, they must win their last match vs Club Brugge.
PSG who have just won, are not safe yet, at least they must not lose in the last match against Stuttgart.
City is no longer the City we know as in the past few seasons, this season it is clear that the decline in quality is very noticeable and has become a team that is no longer a threat in European competition.
They lost helplessly against PSG, indeed they were ahead first but if we look at the game of both teams, PSG dominated the whole thing, it feels strange to see the city that usually dominates was not seen yesterday.
One more chance for City if they want to qualify must beat Club Brugge but seeing Club Brugge is also in a fairly threatened position they will fight tooth and nail in this match at least if they are able to hold City to a draw they will qualify for the play-off phase.
It is hard to believe that Manchester City have become such a weak team that they lost so badly to PSG. They have not even been able to compete with PSG. City are not a threat to any team at the moment, but other weak teams are a threat to them. We can see a lot of difference between the City of today and the City of the past. The reason for the poor state of City is their defense. They are doing very badly in this department, especially when it comes to counterattacks, their weak defense cannot do much. Their attacking set is still great but they have to be strong in defense to win the match. I was not prepared for such a result with PSG.
