So of course, we are going to be told that it was only Salford, a modest English D4 team. The Manchester City players don’t care a bit. They beat their neighbors, 8-0, this Saturday in the 32nd finals of the FA Cup and they gain a little more confidence. They need it badly at the moment after going through a negative period in terms of results.
After conceding 9 defeats in 13 matches, in all competitions, between October 30 and December 26, Pep Guardiola’s players now have three consecutive victories. Against the team from Salford, a town which belongs to greater Manchester, Jack Grealish scored his first goal since December 16, 2023 (392 days) in the Cityzens jersey.
The Fear Match
The English international winger converted a penalty (4-0, 49th) while James McAtee, native of Salford, scored a hat-trick. This card, the biggest score of the day in this round of the FA Cup, can only strengthen the morale of the troops a few days before a big deadline.
On January 22, Manchester City will travel to the Parc des Princes to face PSG during the 7th day of the Champions League. An almost decisive meeting for both teams. PSG occupies 25th place, virtually eliminated with 7 points, while the first 24 teams will be eliminated. The Mancuniens are 22nd (8 points).
