Guardiola insists life goes on if Man City misses UCL

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola emphasized the need for his team to improve their performance to secure a Champions League qualification after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, which left them in fourth place in the Premier League. Guardiola acknowledged that qualification would not come easily, stating, 'we have to play better,' and highlighted that the team struggled to create chances during the match. Despite their current position, he remains optimistic, asserting that City has the potential to turn things around in the remaining 10 games of the season. Guardiola also noted that not qualifying for the Champions League would not be a disaster, reinforcing that the pressure is part of football. With Manchester City now 20 points behind league leaders Liverpool and facing tough competition from other teams, the stakes are high for the reigning champions. The team’s recent elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid has compounded their challenges as they aim to recover their form.
