Not only on the field, Pep Guardiola also faces the
problem of his wife filing for divorce so it is natural that Man City performance can be bad because mentally Pep Guardiola is under a lot of pressure from outside and inside the field. If in the end the bad results do not get him fired, it means there is something wrong with the management of this club which seems to show how unprepared they are to face change.
This could be the reason for the club's poor performance but the focus has been on Rodri's injury and City has been busy in the market trying to get a replacement. So if he doesn't get them back on track after some time or when Rodri is back and fit again. Then we can conclude that it's the divorce saga with his wife that's affecting his judgement and the club might be forced to take action.
Manchester City lost the truck badly. And of course Manchester City's weakness in match strategy is now fully visible. Because Manchester City managed to take a 2-0 lead in just 8 minutes in the second half. After leading 2-0, Manchester City's target should have been not to concede a goal. But then Manchester City conceded 4 goals in 40 minutes.
The first half was very exciting. We saw good performances from both City and PSG. But Manchester City stumbled badly after scoring 2 goals in the second half. After leading by 2 goals, Guardiola should have tightened his defense more. But Guardiola failed to tighten City's defense.
I think Guardiola is in a bit of a bad mood because of his divorce from his wife. However, City will probably not take the decision to sack Guardiola because Guardiola is the best coach in the history of the City club.
I’m also confident that Guardiola will stay at City, especially since the club recently extended his contract.
As for City’s Champions League campaign, I don’t see them missing out on the tournament with both Guardiola and Haaland leading the way. Their decisive match for a spot in the top 24 is against Club Brugge, and it will take place at the Etihad. If City wins, they’ll reach 11 points (the same as Brugge) but will finish ahead due to Brugge’s negative goal difference. However, if City fails to win, they’ll be out. It’s a must-win game for the Citizens, and I expect them to give everything to secure their place in the next stage.
