Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is determined to confront his team’s struggles, following a challenging streak that includes three consecutive losses, culminating in a 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. While rejecting claims by skipper Bernardo Silva about the club being in a ‘dark place’, Guardiola acknowledged the difficulties ahead yet embraced the challenge, stating, ‘I won’t give up, that’s for sure.’ This marks City’s worst run since 2018, prompting questions about their form under Guardiola’s leadership.
