In today's match I can't really say this is the team that will be the favorite team to win the match because both teams performances is not stable, and with that the both teams performances seem to be in same leave because even in their domestic league they are no really playing well. but the way I am viewing the  match Manchester City may win the match but let see what will happen as juventus also need this match, and with this, the match will be a very tough match and both team need the points and as for Dortmund against Barcelona the favorite team to win the match is Barcelona from my own points of view.
No doubt, the two sides were not on their best lately but in a game you'd have to select the winner at the end of the day. I liked the fact that Juventus weren't intimidated by Man City's style of play, the pressure they were receiving and the fact that they weren't getting much chances in the City box but were able to counter and seize the opportunity when it mattered.
 At the end of the day, Man City just proved that it doesn't matter who has much control of the ball and who is mounting pressure, but who wins the game and collects the three points is who everyone calls the "better team".
 Man City have gone on to 9 games across all competitions without a win and if this isn't failure in it's worst form for a Coach of Pep's standard, I wonder what is.

After beating Brest with a score of 3-0, now Raphinha and his friends are back in action by beating the 2nd champions of last season's UCL (Dortmund) with a score of 3-2. Of course, now Barcelona is really playing fiercely against Dortmund. I think this match will end in a draw, but Fortunately, Torres scored an additional goal in the 85th minute by using Yamal's really good pass which ultimately put Barcelona ahead and Barcelona won the match.

now Barcelona is in 2nd place and this is a good result from their hard work of course in this case also Hansi flick is very good because of course there is potential for Hansi flick to be able to win the title as long as Barcelona consistently wins in every match and looks at Liverpool lose in future matches.

Benfica's next match will be Barcelona's opponent in the UCL and it will definitely be exciting in the match because after all, the UCL team is a strong team and what is certain is that the match will be exciting, what do you all think, who will win in the next match Benfica against Barcelona? but I'm sure many people predicted that Barcelona would win, right?
Winning the match against Dortmund was not easy for Barcelona. At one point in the match, I thought the match would be a draw, but Torres scored his second goal to give Barcelona a 3-2 lead and that was their winning goal. Dortmund played really well in the match, I think that although Barcelona had the upper hand in possession, Dortmund's attack was very strong. Barcelona's contribution to winning the match was largely due to their goalkeeper. They kept an excellent clean sheet and won the match. The attacking play of both teams towards the end made the match exciting. It goes without saying that the match was very enjoyable for football lovers. Dortmund's offside goal really added to the regret.
Finally, Yamal's great assist and Torres scored the last goal to give Barcelona 3 points and they are now in 2nd place in the points table. Barcelona also has a chance to go to the top. In this case, we have to look at a loss in a Liverpool match.

Juventus will be playing hosts to Man City at the Allianz stadium tonight and honestly I'm curious to see what Pep Guardiola's side will whip out tonight. Thiago Motta's side have been known for their ability to draw games and haven't been spectacular in the champions league and would be hoping to get something too from Man City being that the English side have not been on their best lately so it's enough to conclude that the game will be very tough and with the two sides on 8 points apiece, they will do their possible best to one up the other.
 I predict a first half goalless draw and GG full time in this game but I might be wrong and there might be lots of goals in the first half.

Juventus is playing well, but the game versus Manchester City is unexpected; yet, in terms of performance, Manchester City may have more experience this time. However, Manchester City has been performing poorly in the Premier League and Champions League due to injuries to some of its players. Let's see if Guadiola can get three points against Juventus tonight, but it will be difficult because they are playing at home, and they will not want to lose at home and give Guadiola three points. Let's see how the game ends. Barcelona plays Dortmund tonight, which will also be a difficult game. Because both of them are in a superior state in the ucl and let see how the game will be and see who will get three point. Am just seeing that the game can probably end in a draw or Barcelona defeat Dortmund in my opinion because Barcelona are good in the ucl and the league this season and Dortmund are just performing great in the ucl more the  league this season.

In today's match I can't really say this is the team that will be the favorite team to win the match because both teams performances is not stable, and with that the both teams performances seem to be in same leave because even in their domestic league they are no really playing well. but the way I am viewing the  match Manchester City may win the match but let see what will happen as juventus also need this match, and with this, the match will be a very tough match and both team need the points and as for Dortmund against Barcelona the favorite team to win the match is Barcelona from my own points of view.

As been expected Manchester City will lose against Juventus, so it's not surprising to see them lose.

Now Manchester City currently at 22th position, they will meet PSG in the upcoming match which I believe they will lose again. The last one they will meet Club Brugge, they can't be underestimated, the match might end in draw.

I think Manchester City will be relegated, while Real Madrid still has a chance to qualify.



I wasted another 2 hours of my life to watch this crap. They got lose again, and get 5 points out of 30 points in total. What the fuck is wrong with City? Too many sideways pass between Gundo, Walker and Bernardo, but no final pass. No creativity, and nothing at all.

We have zero pace. We have no support in the box for Haaland, and very paintful how he only standing up and did nothing. It seems he didn't care his team to lose. I believe if it was Aguero, he would be running non-stop to get the ball. Holy shit Haaland is a joke now.

The passing patter is far too predictable by our opponent. It's very obvious team is mentally and physically exhausted in this game.

Juventus beat M.City 2-0 at home and climbed to 14th place with this victory.

M.City played better but if you can't score goals you can't win the match. It seems M.City won't be able to stop this bad trend. The remaining matches won't be easy for them because they also want to make it to the play-offs.

PSG - M.City
M.City - Club Brugge
They would easily devour PSG because the French outfit aren't a club you can rely on to further frustrate Guardiola's boys so if anything, I expect Man City to get three points that can salvage their already fragile situation.
PSG, thanks to their low performance have been booted out of the competition, or would be when they play Man City next.
 With how Man City have become so weak, will they be able to do something when they meet their Manchester rivals come this Sunday or will Ruben Amorim get another chance to beat Pep again? Grin

Manchester City’s nightmare in the champions league is still continuing after a big defeat in the champions league today. They went to play against Juventus which they were able to take advantage of their home stadium the match was played in. Seriously, on a normal instance, we wouldn’t have doubted if Manchester City will win the match or not because definitely they will with their great performance. A lot is happening in that club and we haven’t seen any progress in them till now even after playing more games.
It seem like they don't have motivation again to create the title for this session. There's something wrong with this club so that situation that make the squad not excited to win the match. I don't know what can Pep do for fix it immediately, because if this happens continuously in the next match his career is coming to an end until his contract. Manchester City is descend with full squad, the same as they win the last match, but again they couldn't show their best performance. I think the problem must fix it soon, pep should immediately looking for player can replace Rodri, due to its vital role manchester city can't play as usual.
As a manager and a team, constant victory makes it look like the rest of the other teams have not been doing so well are joking and somehow, it's good that they get to experience what it means to lose fo which will help the players get a sense of failure to balance things up. It's certainly not the kind of result pep expected to see at the start  of the season in all the leagues they are playing in but unfortunately this is what they have at the moment.

Rodri is missed in the team but getting just a single signing won't solve this problem and it doesn't just happen overnight that any how player can just come under the kind of coaching pattern pep operates in and bring them back to a good form. The best thing the team will be doing is to forget about this season and work on how best they can prepare for the next. Start fixing what they are currently doing wrong and pay less attention to the media that are already at them. It's going to be a long season for pep but if there's a man that can find himself in this kind of situation and still bring out a reasonable solution to his problem, then pep us definitely the dude. Like the players said, "let them think it's over" something good can still come out of this team in the playoff.

I don't understand why Man City's performance is so bad this season in the Champions League even though they are strong candidates in the Champions League. Initially I thought Man City would beat Juventus because I thought Man City had started to rise again and Juventus itself has recently experienced a decline but it turns out I was wrong Man City still hasn't risen and it seems like their chances of qualifying are getting smaller. In the next match against PSG Man City should be able to win, seen from any aspect Man City's quality is superior to PSG, it will be very painful if they lose again.
Manchester City with this defeat and a draw in the latest match in Premier League, show that their crisis is here. Only one win against Nottingham Forest after five consecutive matches is not enough to heal their crisis. Problems are there and they have yet resolved anything, the defeat by Juventus is a confirmation of their live crisis. This harms their chance to stay in Champions League and with only two matches left together with their poor form, they have big risk to go home after this group phase.

This is big shock if they end like this because only two seasons ago, they won Champions League and two other titles in England. Pep Guardiola is facing with hardest time in Manchester City after many years there.

As for me, on the contrary, I expected Juventus to win it, but I thought it would have been a tight contested affair, but I was wrong, Manchester city currently are way more worse than I thought, at first I thought that it's because of injuries that they are experiencing that they are struggling like this, but I was wrong, most of their injured stars are back and they are still stuttering, with the look of things, this Manchester city team has gone past their best, they are on a serious decline, till a rebuilding of the team is done, we shouldn't be expecting Manchester city to return back to their very best as they are known for.

Then as for their upcoming game against psg, I really don't think they   can win that game, because psg is in a more better form than they are, unless they step up their game massively, if not they might lose again just as this Juventus game.

You are right, Manchester City is strong candidate in the UCL title race that even bookmakers have made Manchester City the favorite for this season UCL competition, only their performance continues to decline after having problems related to the player crisis because some are injured.
Everyone hope is that Manchester City can still get place to enter the play-off round and that way they will have the opportunity to continue fighting here, there is real disappointment that is very much felt seeing the favorite team that does not show any changes at all, in the next two match Manchester City should be able to win both, if not I don't know what their fate will be like later.
Of the last ten matches this season including matches in the Champions League this season, Manchester City has only been able to win one match and the rest are only defeats and two draws. This means that Manchester City is really in a very bad condition at the moment so that Manchester City could not get the chance to enter the Champions League playoffs this season if in the next two matches Manchester City does not change and is still like it is now even though for the next match Manchester City will face PSG which is generally also not good in the Champions League competition.

Manchester City is currently in such a bad situation, Pep Guardiola is facing many problems, especially since Rodri's injury, the team has become very weak. If this continues, Manchester City will definitely be in a very bad position at some point, although Manchester City had a very good reputation, but their situation is now very terrible. Man City is losing at home and their game is not improving, so they are never able to score goals at the opponent's home ground. The way they lost against Juventus is really sad for them, a strong team is currently suffering in such a situation. However, if Manchester City is to return to their previous position, they must bring an alternative player like Rodri to the team, only then can the team return to a good position.
Still making Rodri the reason for this decline? Come on, 1 player doesn't guarantee anything, anyway Kevin de Bruyne will eventually become more blunt.
Not only was their performance bad, Manchester City was also showered with 130 accusations and that will be a bitter seasoning for Pep Guardiola. I like that Juventus managed to give a heavy blow to all of Pep Guardiola troops. Juventus players in the first half did not control much of the game, but they defended and attacked very neatly. Manchester City game plan looked rushed, I admit they played beyond their standards. Will the Pep Guardiola era really end?

If you go through the head to head between Manchester City and Juventus you wouldn't just conclude that you thought Manchester City will just beat the old ladies at their home ground, you guys should stop underrating Juventus even if Manchester City were to be informed the highest result they would have gotten will be draw and besides too Juventus is not as strong as we use to see before.
It will be difficult for Manchester City to qualify in this season UEFA Champions league because I don't believe they will be able to win PSG in their next game though I can't really tell what's going on with Manchester City at the moment but have lost confidence both in their league and also in the Champions league injuries is part of what is affecting them now and this will also be pep Guardiola worst era as a manager as there is not team that has not won Manchester City this season.

Man City losing wasn't that surprising, but Man City losing without being able to get even one goal back was a bit surprising to me. In fact, I was surprised to see Man City not being able to build many attacks. This is really not like the Man City we saw last season and at the start of this season. At the start of the season, we even saw high goal productivity from Man City, which made Haaland even score dozens of goals in just a few matches. But then Man City suddenly got worse and it was really such a sudden thing.

Well, the conditions for Man City and Real Madrid could change. Because currently Real Madrid has collected 9 points while Man City has now only collected 8 points. I'm not sure now whether Man City will win against PSG or not. But if Man City loses then it is very likely that Man City will be eliminated and likewise if PSG loses then PSG could be eliminated. Well, this is not something that usually happens to see leading teams experiencing difficulties like this.
You are right that Man City cannot get out of the losing streak and their performance was very disappointing. They lost points after losing to Juventus by two goals and currently their number of points is 22 which is not eligible for the play-offs. If they want to play in the play-offs, they should have at least 24 points. Now the next two matches are going to be very important for them and if they fail, Man City can be eliminated in the first round. Man City started the match well offensively but with time Juventus increased their attack speed and missed several scoring chances. In the midst of attacking and counter-attacking to score goals, Dusan Vlahovic got the desired goal in the 54th minute of the match and in the 75th minute the team increased the lead to 2-0.
Yes, it will be more challenging for Man City to win the next match because they may be mentally depressed but I am hopeful that they will be able to do justice to their name and gain strength to win.

Pep Guardiola should accept that his team is performing poorly and stop praising them for controlling the ball and have dominance without creating any useful chances with the ball, they didn't lose most of the balls but they were unable to defend the wo attacks that Juventus mounted on them and the result ended in Juventus scoring 2 goals. Manchester City is in big trouble if they lost to a team like Juventus in the champions league and they will get more poor results if Pep Guardiola is not ready to change the performance of his team and the players motivation, they are going to play Manchester United next at home they may end up losing against them then pep Guardiola I'll be looking for a way to resign as the manager of the team.
I really don't understand now with Man city's performance. This team actually still has most of their mainstay players and they only lost Rodri due to injury this season. But what we see now is as if this team was playing with second-tier players last season. Even this season, De Bruyne was also assisted by Gundogan, the quality of these two midfielders was never in doubt. And Haaland also looks fit but somehow this team always seems to have difficulty scoring goals. Man City's drastic decline is really quite strange. It reminds me of Man United's condition in the last few seasons. Where Man United has many star players but always fails to win. I hope something similar doesn't happen to Man City.

I think the problem must fix it soon, pep should immediately looking for player can replace Rodri, due to its vital role manchester city can't play as usual.
Yeah that's exactly what I feel too, Rodri has been a really big blow to them because I can't imagine pep guadiola facing this kind of problem if Rodri was not injured, this just showed how important and vital his roles is to Manchester city. If this continues then it will definitely get to a point when his service as the head coach would be terminated because Manchester wouldn't like to face the particular issues that their fellow city rivals are facing which is balancing the club once glory days.
Manchester City used to be a team that used the squad they had very well, but we can't see that anymore. City is losing blood day by day in both the Premier League and the UCL. Manchester City is playing its worst season with Pep this season, when English teams are on the rise. We'll see what happens in the mid-season transfer window. Maybe they can get a good backup alternative for Rodri. When Rodri doesn't play, City's midfield is terrible.

now Barcelona is in 2nd place and this is a good result from their hard work of course in this case also Hansi flick is very good because of course there is potential for Hansi flick to be able to win the title as long as Barcelona consistently wins in every match and looks at Liverpool lose in future matches.

Benfica's next match will be Barcelona's opponent in the UCL and it will definitely be exciting in the match because after all, the UCL team is a strong team and what is certain is that the match will be exciting, what do you all think, who will win in the next match Benfica against Barcelona? but I'm sure many people predicted that Barcelona would win, right?

You are correct; the Juventus vs Manchester City match ended in a goalless draw in the first half, but I am not sure if they will play GG full time because Juventus is finding it difficult to break through Manchester City's midfield, which is making their counterattack not to work perfectly well. With what Manchester City has shown in the first half against Juventus, if they maintain such performance in the second half, I believe Manchester City will find the back of the net against Juventus in the second half, and if not for that Haaland missed a clear chance in the first half, Manchester City would have been leading Juventus by one goal.
Manchester City is a club that we can’t trust again, it’s just surprising to see how Manchester City’s performance has been so poor. From the way Manchester City played in the first half of the match, I was thinking maybe they would be able to get a win in the second half of the match. It’s just surprising that Manchester City is already losing to Juventus, they already conceded two goals in the second half of the match. Seriously, this is the worst season for Pep Guardiola, and he doesn’t even know how to solve Manchester City’s current problem.
 
Manchester City's performance has been so bad that any club is now winning then, no matter how hard Manchester City plays in most matches, they do end up losing or playing a draw. Injury has really done bad to Manchester City, I just hope Pep Guardiola will be able to get some players when the transfer window is open.

If we are truthful to ourselves, we should know that Juventus has been more consistent than Manchester City, this season. Juventus is an elite club when it comes to the UEFA competitions, so Manchester City losing tonight against them is not really surprising to me. Even when Manchester City were strong, a team like Juventus could have still won them. When I saw the odd that were given to Juventus to win, I smiled because I knew that the odd is very likely to play because of Manchester City inconsistences recently, and it happened as I predicted. From the onset of this match I never expected Manchester City to win against Juventus. I believe that Pep Guardiola already know the players he will get to fix his team. He is just waiting patiently for the transfer window to open.
I disagree; Manchester City and Juventus have 27 points in their respective leagues after they have played 15 matches, and they also have 8 points in the Uefa Champions League competition. It was this win Juventus had against Manchester City that put Juventus ahead of Manchester City with 3 points in the Uefa Champions League standings. Manchester City was meant to beat Juventus in this match because they played better than Juventus and had more scoring chances than Juventus. However, they failed to utilize those chances, and Juventus converted the two chances they had against Manchester City in the second half into goals, which led them to beat Manchester City 2-0. If someone told me that Juventus would be the one to win this match in the second half, I would not agree because Juventus players were finding it difficult to penetrate Manchester City's defense. But I was surprised when they scored an early goal in the second half, and I thought Manchester City would score back to draw the match, but they were unable to do so.
