It seems that Manchester City is at the end of its glory era, Pep Guardiola seems to have lost his touch, they don't look like a team that once won the Premier League four times in a row. Arsenal celebrated a big win today with full of emotions, a win that maybe they themselves never imagined. Five goals scored by five different players, in my opinion, can explain how bad Manchester City defense line is. This big win certainly increases the pressure on Liverpool, and Arteta can still hope his team can lead the standings in the future.
Not entirely, Manchester City are still a very good side and just like every other team goes through this phase at some point and City are not the first to go through this struggling phase and it will pass. Obviously this big win will put a bit of pressure on Liverpool in the title race and also serve as a boost to Arteta’s dream of winning the league trophy this season with hopes that Manchester City will play better against Liverpool and hopefully win.
Apart from that, in 2 weeks Manchester City will face Real Madrid to compete for a ticket to the knockout rounds of the UCL. I think this match will be very exciting. Because you could say this match is a match between former champions in the UCL. So this match will definitely be quite fierce, even though Manchester City is currently not performing well. But if, for example, in this match against Real Madrid, Manchester City can win, I think this will be able to restore the confidence of the players. Therefore, Pep really has to design the right strategy to beat Real Madrid. Even though it will definitely be difficult, at least Pep really has to give his best for this match against Real Madrid.
