Manchester City finds itself in a challenging position, both in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Pep Guardiola emphasized the importance of the next two matches.

Details: At a press conference ahead of the clash with Chelsea, the Manchester City manager described the upcoming fixtures as finals, referring to the Premier League match against Chelsea and the Champions League game against Club Brugge.

Quote: "Despite the significant issues we’re facing, Chelsea is close to us in the league table. This is a crucial week. The next two matches are finals for us. Our fans will support us to help overcome this moment," said Pep Guardiola.

Additionally, Guardiola confirmed that key central defender Ruben Dias is sidelined indefinitely due to injury.

Reminder: Two days ago, Manchester City lost 4-2 to PSG in the 7th matchday of the UEFA Champions League, significantly complicating their path to the knockout stages. To avoid elimination at this stage, Guardiola's side must defeat Brugge on Wednesday, January 29.
