lifting of the championship. Starting at 1:30 p.m. with a poster between Manchester City and Everton.

To best prepare for this pivotal act without becoming demobilized, Pep Guardiola and his management decided for the Cityzens that there would be no Christmas Eve. At least not with family. The Skyblues, between two training sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, having been invited to the club’s facilities to spend Christmas night.

“It’s their job,” proclaims Guardiola

I hope they want to be there, because it’s their job », Says the Catalan technician, uncompromising and particularly marked by the current bad luck of the Skyblues, weighed down by an improbable series of nine defeats in 12 matches in all competitions, and limited to an unworthy seventh place in the English elite rankings.

But we have another chance with Boxing Day », trumpets Pep Guardiola who is determined to see his team bounce back by 2025.
