Summary
Man City faces Liverpool after five consecutive losses and squandering a win after a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord. A loss in Merseyside would result City trailing 11 points compared to Liverpool. Guardiola calls long-term goals such as winning the league impossible, and believes this opportunity is to assess his abilities. The Spanish coach gives his opinions that this is a difficult time. Pep Guardiola expresses his willingness to fight through it and stay in the club. This is recently after a contract extension until 2027 has been signed. Multiple titles including a treble shows the consistency and success of Pep’s city. City fell out of the top 8 spot in the Champion’s league. This means they would be playing February playoffs unless they turn it around the next three games. In the EPL, they sit at 2nd place, with a point above Chelsea, Arsenal, and Brighton. Guardiola has faith to come back, but is not sure when.
