It is a fact that Manchester City, which tends to make the Premier League championship its own (4 consecutive conquests in the last period). But the heavy defeat suffered on the evening of November 5th at the packed "José Alvalade" by Amorim's Sporting shows that something is happening. Things are no longer rosy for the English team.

Manchester City suffered their third successive defeat in all competitions for the first time since April 2018. Such a thing had happened to her 6 years ago. Then it was April 2018 when they had been defeated by Liverpool (in both games of the quarter-final phase of the Champions League), while in between they had lost in their "home" to Etihad against Manchester United for the Premier League.



Even the "citizens" conceded four goals in a Champions League game for the first time in 8 years. The last time something similar happened was in October 2016, in Pep Guardiola's first year in charge of City, when they were beaten 4-0 by Barcelona in the group stage of Europe's top club competition. City also suffered their heaviest defeat since September 2020.


Bernardo Silva


But it is not only the crash that Manchester City experienced. The international Portuguese extreme midfielder, Bernardo Silva, in his statements, exacerbated the already not particularly good atmosphere:

"It's disappointing because we're in a bit of a dark place at the moment," the Portugal international told TNT Sports. "Everything seems to be going the wrong way. The team has lost its soul. Even when we play well, we don't score our chances and concede too easily. We definitely have to look inside and check what we're not doing well and we have to get better very quickly or it's going to be very difficult to come back from these losses."

Pep Guardiola, however, had a more optimistic outlook and insisted he was relishing the challenge of the bounce: "It's up to us to react and we'll fight with me first."
