Guardiola Warns Man City Could Exit UCL After PSG Humiliation

Josep Guardiola knows that Manchester City could face elimination from the Champions League if they fail to win their final match against Club Brugge. Man City lost 2-4 to PSG in the Matchday 7 League Phase of the 2024/2025 Champions League at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. The Citizens initially took the lead with goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

However, PSG responded in the second half, with goals from Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, João Neves, and Gonçalo Ramos securing a dramatic comeback for the hosts.

As a result of this defeat, the English side dropped to 25th place with 8 points. Man City now risk elimination if they don't win their final match against Club Brugge.

Guardiola acknowledged that Manchester City could face Champions League elimination if they don't win their final game against Club Brugge. "If we don't win, we don't deserve to continue," Guardiola told TNT Sports. "Sporting, PSG, Juventus—all are tough opponents, and our away games are very challenging. This is the reality."

Guardiola also pointed out that his team failed to earn enough points during the group stage, putting them in a tough spot. "We didn't get enough points. The last game against Brugge will decide what we have to do next," he said.
