Pep admits target now is to qualify
Manchester Evening News|December 12, 2024
CITY are in a battle to salvage their Champions League knockout qualification hopes after defeat at Juventus, Pep Guardiola admits.

City had gone two seasons without a defeat in Europe in regulation time before this season, and have now lost two of their last three in the Champions League the latest coming at Juventus to leave City winless in nine of their last ten games in all competitions.

Defeat leaves City 22nd in the 36-team league phase, just one point above the cut-off to qualify for a play-off tie in the new year with two games left.

A top eight finish is almost certainly beyond them and Guardiola has adjusted his focus to simply ensuring some form of Champions League football after the league phase.
