And the question being asked by Man City fans is: How much lower will they fall?
In their last ten matches from October 30 until Wednesday night, Man City has recorded 8 defeats, 1 draw and 1 defeat, while they have conceded 23 goals in these games. Total crisis!!!
Manchester City, last year's Premier League champions, suffered another defeat (2-0). This time in Turin by Juventus, for the 5th matchday of the League Phase of the Champions League and has almost... forgotten what victory means, in the last 42 days. So they got into trouble for their future.
Then we must not forget that they completed 10 games with just one victory, this one against Nottingham Forest.
In their last ten matches from October 30 until Wednesday night, Manchester City has recorded 8 defeats, 1 draw and 1 defeat, while they have conceded 23 goals in these games, the most of any other team in this period in the five major European championships!
And it is logical for even its most fanatical fan to wonder, How much lower will it fall? It is already in 22nd place in the general standings of the top inter-club competition and no one can prejudge its future. After all, Pep Guardiola's team in the 7th matchday will be hosted in a ... final by 25th-placed Paris Saint-Germain. Where Luis Enrique's team is not doing well.
Pep's team was defeated 2-0 in Turin by Thiago Motta's cynical Juventus, which also climbed to 14th place in the standings. Just one victory in the last ten for City, which is experiencing, according to many, the worst crisis in recent years.
The bianconeri took advantage of the opportunities, were excellent in the defensive part and took the three important points. Motta's team will be hosted in Belgium by Club Brugge next match.
The first half was poor, with only two good moments. Initially, in the 20th minute, the Bianconeri came close to scoring, but the shot by the young and promising Turkish midfielder, Kenan Yildiz, went just wide. And then, in the 40th minute, the English had a great chance with Erling Haaland, but the Norwegian was beaten by the excellent goalkeeper Di Gregorio. The start of the second half was more intense for Juventus, who opened the scoring in the 53rd minute with a header by Serbian international forward Dusan Vlahovic.
City tried to react, they had some good moments with Haaland and De Bruyne, but not much substance. Motta's subsequent substitutions played a decisive role in the game's development and in the 75th minute they justified him. Weah passed the ball perfectly to the American, McKennie, who finished with a perfect finish to make it 2-0.
