Manchester City Eliminated From Title Race

Phil Foden has acknowledged that Manchester City's hopes of winning a fifth consecutive Premier League title are effectively over following their recent 2-2 draw against Brentford. Despite scoring twice to initially give City a strong lead, late goals from Brentford saw City drop points for the 11th time this season, leaving them 12 points behind leaders Liverpool. Foden stated that the team's new focus will be on securing a top-four finish to qualify for the Champions League, noting that their performances have fallen short of expectations. He expressed a learning mindset, emphasizing the importance of regaining their competitive edge. The team has historically been in the title race at this point in the season, making their current situation particularly surprising. City is set to face a crucial match against Ipswich and a vital Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain soon.
