Manchester City may not qualify for next season’s Champions League, a concern raised by manager Pep Guardiola in light of the team’s recent decline in performance.
City, aiming for a 15th consecutive qualification for Europe’s premier club competition, have secured only one victory in their last eight Premier League matches, currently sitting in seventh place, trailing leaders Liverpool by 12 points.
Guardiola’s team finds itself four points adrift of Nottingham Forest, the current holders of the fourth and final spot for Champions League qualification.
Previously, my statements were met with laughter from others. Officials stated that qualifying for the Champions League does not constitute a significant achievement. Guardiola addressed reporters anticipating the upcoming home match against Everton, stating, “But I know it because it happens with clubs in this country.”
They exhibited dominance in the league for many years but have since struggled to qualify for the Champions League. Manchester City has consistently participated in the Champions League for several years. “We find ourselves in a precarious situation, undeniably at risk.”
