The article discusses the current challenges facing Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, who has led the team to unprecedented success. However, recent performance dips, including only one win in 13 games, have raised concerns about the team’s future dominance. In contrast, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has made strategic changes to their squad, focusing on youth rather than superstar signings and maintaining a strong position in the Ligue 1 title race. The upcoming clash between City and PSG is critical, as both teams risk elimination from the Champions League.
Are we witnessing the end of Manchester City's incredible period of dominance, and have recent weeks exposed the first cracks in the winning empire built by Pep Guardiola?
City are miles off the pace in the title race -- 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, having played a game more -- and ended 2024 with just one win in 13 games in all competitions.
Despite three wins and two draws in their past five league games, Guardiola's squad are showing signs of age and decline.
PSG, still on course for another Ligue 1 title, unbeaten in 18 games and leading second-place Marseille by 10 points, is leaving domestic rivals trailing.
