Manchester City suffered a 2-4 defeat to PSG in the seventh round of the UEFA Champions League and are now at risk of not advancing to the playoffs. Carlo Ancelotti assessed the prospects of the "Citizens."
Details: In a comment to Marca, Real Madrid's head coach expressed his desire for Manchester City to be eliminated from the Champions League and fail to reach the playoffs. He explained his position.
Quote: "Yes, it would be good if Manchester City were eliminated because they are one of the contenders to win the Champions League," Ancelotti stated.
Incidentally, after yesterday's defeat, the French team climbed to 23rd place and is currently in the playoff zone. Meanwhile, Manchester City dropped to 25th position with eight points, falling outside the playoff spots.
In their next match, the "Citizens" must win and hope that one of their direct competitors slips up.
