Manchester City is facing a significant decline this season under manager Pep Guardiola, struggling to compete for both the Premier League title and Champions League aspirations. Despite Guardiola’s insistence on survival, the team has lost its invincibility, with evident flaws in performance from key players like Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan. Injuries have affected the squad, but the level of decline raises concerns about the team’s future and challenges ahead for Guardiola. The once dominant City is now seen as vulnerable by opponents, marking a stark turn of events.
