In a key battle in the 7th round of the Champions League stage that ended in the early morning of January 23, Beijing time, Manchester City encountered a big Paris in a "strong dialogue" and lost 2-4 to the opponent, and the Champions League was winless for 4 consecutive rounds, and the promotion situation was urgent.
Previously, Manchester City had been unbeaten in five league games and seemed to have a tendency to bottom out. In this Champions League match with Paris, Manchester City also had a good situation, and even scored two goals in a row at the beginning of the second half, once leading 2-0. But City's good momentum didn't last long, and Paris not only quickly equalised. It was also reversed in the 78th minute by Joao Neves. In stoppage time, Gonzalo Ramos' whistle-blowing goal completely killed Manchester City's hopes of equalising.
After this campaign, Manchester City has not won in 4 rounds of the Champions League, 1 draw and 3 losses in 4 games, and against Portuguese, Feyenoord and Paris, Manchester City scored first, and against Juventus it was a clean sheet. In the last two rounds, they lost to Juventus and Grand Paris in succession, and the two defeats were quite fatal. At present, Manchester City has only 8 points after 7 rounds and has fallen to the knockout zone, and the promotion situation has become serious.
As for the possible outcome of the Champions League, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said helplessly in an interview after the game: "Accept the defeat because the better team won and we have one last chance at home to Club Brugge. If we win, we'll advance. It could happen that if we don't win [against Club Brugge], we don't deserve to qualify.”
