Pep admits Man City risk missing out on Champions League quota next season
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that the Citizens could miss out on next season’s Champions League after the team’s poor run of form has seen them sit seventh in the สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน table.
This is the 14th consecutive season City are participating in Europe’s top competition, with only Arsenal (1998-2017) and Manchester United (1996-2014) having participated in the Champions League longer than City in English football.
England currently has the best coefficient of performance in the current UEFA rankings, giving the Premier League a high chance of winning a five-team quota for next season’s Champions League.
Pep said that in the past when people said that qualifying for the Champions League was an achievement, people would laugh at it and say it was no big deal, but he knew that it happened to clubs in England. Some teams were great for many years but then they didn’t qualify for the Champions League. City have been consistently qualifying for the competition for many years. Now we are at big risk of not qualifying for the competition next year.
Pep continued that there are many teams competing for a place in the Champions League, and each team sees it as very important. Therefore, if we cannot win consistently, we risk dropping out of the top four. If that happens, it is because we are not worthy of playing in the Champions League, because we are not well prepared, because we have problems that have not been solved.
