There is no way. The blows keep falling, as Tom Cruise said in some good men. And now there are five, something never seen before. Manchester City cannot find the switch and if Liverpool win this Sunday in Southampton, Guardiola’s team will be eight points behind the leader in the Premier League.
This Saturday, Tottenham joined an already historic list, that of the five teams that have won consecutively against the team cityzen., a streak started by their own Spurs and Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Brighton continued. If Guardiola had never lost four games in a row in his almost thousand-year career on the bench, the five he has already lost have made all the screws loose.
The never seen
Tottenham (2), Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Brighton have beaten City consecutively
With one of the greatest displays in their history, written on the basis of punch and speed, Tottenham crushed any illusion at the Etihad by signing a legendary win (0-4) that unabashedly deepened the already deep wound that City suffers from. Guardiola.
Before the match, Rodri offered the Ballon d’Or to his fans. The absence of the Madrid native as the team’s compass is being too big a burden, a loss that Kovacic joined against Tottenham, leaving Rico Lewis and Ilkay Gündogan as midfielders, with zero success.
Tottenham did not take long to impose their superiority on the green. Maddison scored a double twenty minutes into the game. City tried to take control of the game but ran into a Vicario in a state of grace, capable of repelling all the shots that came around his goal.
The hopes of a comeback by Guardiola’s men in the second half quickly went to hell. Pedro Porro culminated a counter against the Spurs with a great shot and scored the third, definitively blowing everything up into the air. The crossbar denied Haaland the cutback and, already in added time, Johnson scored the fourth and unleashed madness on his team. Guardiola’s five defeats were already a fact. Feyenoord is City’s next rival, next Tuesday in the Champions League.
It is worth remembering that this same week, the Santpedor coach officially renewed with the blue team of Manchester until 2027, which will exceed a decade on the Etihad bench.
