Manchester City's Premier League title hopes dim further as they draw 2-2 against Crystal Palace, leaving them eight points behind Liverpool. Pep Guardiola calls it a "season to suffer" as injuries and inconsistency plague the team. The focus now shifts to their critical Champions League clash against Juventus.
Pep Guardiola has described this season as one of "suffering" after Manchester City dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Despite coming from behind twice at Selhurst Park, City struggled to dominate, leaving them eight points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
The draw further complicates City's title defense, with Guardiola highlighting injuries, inconsistent performances, and a lack of squad confidence as key challenges. Speaking to BBC Sport, he expressed pride in his players’ efforts but acknowledged the uphill battle ahead. "We fought incredibly and came back twice," he said, adding that discussions about a title race were premature given recent results.
City now face a crucial Champions League encounter against Juventus on Wednesday, aiming to bounce back after lackluster group-stage performances.
