Manchester City once again showed a worrying face this Tuesday at Brentford (2-2). Despite a two-goal lead obtained thanks to a double from Phil Foden, the four-time reigning English champion collapsed in the final minutes of the match. Pep Guardiola’s men conceded two goals in the space of ten minutes.
If a victory would have allowed the Skyblues to regain a place in the Big Four, this result keeps them in 6th place, tied with Newcastle, fifth, and 12 points behind leader Liverpool. The chances of retaining their title seem increasingly slim. In line with the remarks made by
Bernardo Silva At the beginning of January, Foden confirmed that hoping to win the championship was illusory, even “stupid”, revealing his team’s short-term objectives.
City wants to finish in the top 4
“The title? Yes, yes, it’s done, it’s done. We know it. We are not stupid. So we have to aim for the top 4, that’s the next goal now and then obviously the Champions League as well. So it’s not like the season is over.”said City number 47.
“But you have to be realistic, right? Our performances are not good enough to reach the top. Our goal is to finish in the top four and then see where we can place in the other trophies. We can’t dwell on that. We have to try to aim for the top four now and do things right.”explained the 2024 European vice-champion.
