Manchester City is not considering the Champions League failure

Pep Guardiola says that he “does not think” fail to reach the Champions League knockout stage as he is preparing for the match that must be won against Bruges.

The 2023 champions had a first poor campaign to coordinate New-Look and went to last Wednesday in the twenty-fifth.

The teams go from ninth to twenty -fourth to a failed round, so the defeat against the Belgian team means ending their European season.

Opta statistics Give the city a 63.8 % chance to qualify – while BRUGGE is likely to offer 93.9 %.

Guardiola said: “The situation we have, we have to win the game, and if not, we will not continue to compete and we want to go through another opportunity to play two other games and qualify for the next stage,” Guardiola said.

“It is not a problem, it is an opportunity, challenge and we will face it.

“For the club, it will not be good not to qualify but I am not thinking about it now. I know all the people concerned whether we will be qualified or not, I think we will do that.”

City was a senior single in the January market, where about 125 million pounds sterling over Omar Marmoush, Abdokuder Josenov and Vitor Reese, but Guardiola says he does not know how failure in Europe’s progress will affect the club financially.

He said, “I don’t know.” “I did not talk to the CEO about it.

“In the last two or three transport windows it has always been positive. I am not naive enough to know how important the club is financially going through this competition – it can affect the club, but we of course want to try to achieve this and pass first for sports reasons.

“In the past five or six years, net spending in this club was amazing. The club said well, that the situation is the situation, if we want to spend, we can spend, and if not the case, we do not spend.”
