“If we lose points, it will be over”: Manchester City could say goodbye to the Premier League title this weekend

The Skyblues on the brink of collapse? Manchester City, which is coming out of a correction in the Champions League against Real Madrid, will play its game on Saturday in the Premier League against West Ham. His coach Pep Guardiola even admitted at a press conference that his team could say goodbye to the title in the event of a poor performance.

The hopes of competing for the title with leader Arsenal, who are seven points ahead of City but one game more, “will be destroyed” in the event of a setback at the Hammers, threatened with relegation (18th) and who will also have a lot to lose. The Skyblues could start the match on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) ten points behind if the Gunners beat Everton a little earlier (6:30 p.m.).

Bouncing back from Madrid rout

Manchester must bounce back after its big 3-0 defeat at Real Madrid on Wednesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, which hampers its chances of qualifying for the quarters.

“The championship was the most difficult title to win,” said Guardiola, who won six of the nine seasons he has just spent in England. So I think the Premier League is still the toughest, and yet we’re still here, knowing that if we drop points it will be over, there won’t be a second chance. »
