Champions No More? City End Season With One Trophy And UCL Spot In Potential Jeopardy

Manchester City’s season has ended with a single trophy to their name, falling short of their usual high standards. Despite their dominance in recent years, Pep Guardiola’s side has struggled to maintain their form, leaving their Champions League qualification hopes hanging in the balance.

City’s campaign saw them lift just one piece of silverware, a stark contrast to their historic treble-winning season last year. With Liverpool securing the Premier League title and Crystal Palace stunning City in the FA Cup final, the club now faces the reality of missing out on Europe’s elite competition unless they can secure a top-four finish in the final weeks of the league.

Midfielder Matheus Nunes acknowledged the team’s struggles, stating that Champions League qualification has now become their version of winning the Premier League trophy. The squad remains determined to fight for their place among Europe’s best, but the pressure is mounting as rivals Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea continue to challenge for the remaining spots.
