Currently seventh in the Premier League, four points behind the Big Four, the club risks missing qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. A worrying situation that the Spanish coach did not hesitate to address frankly.
Guardiola: “We are in danger”
Guardiola spoke of the real risk for City of not qualifying: “When I said it before, people laughed. They said that qualifying for the Champions League was not a great success. But it is essential. Now we are in danger, of course we are.” The Spanish technician recalled that other big clubs, such as Arsenal or Chelsea, have experienced similar periods, marked by prolonged absences in C1.
A necessary awakening to avoid falling
The Catalan coach also admitted that this situation was the result of unresolved internal problems: “If we don’t qualify, it’s because we don’t deserve it,” he admitted. Because we weren’t prepared and because we had a lot of problems that we didn’t solve. »
With opponents such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham in top form, the race for the top 4 promises to be difficult for City, who will absolutely have to raise the bar in the next matches. Starting with this Saturday, against Everton.
