Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has reportedly acknowledged that he is questioning himself following his side’s recent loss which has left them in danger of missing out on the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
In their most recent European match, City lost 2-0 to Juventus on Wednesday, suffering their seventh loss in ten games across all competitions.
At the Allianz Stadium, goals from Weston McKennie and Dusan Vlahovic in the second half left Guardiola’s team wallowing in 22nd position.
With two games left, they will have to fight to stay in the top 24 and secure a play-off berth. While a spot in the top eight and automatic last-16 qualification appear out of their grasp.

According to the Irish Times, City manager Guardiola said: “Of course I question myself but I’m stable in good moments and bad moments.
“I try to find a way to do it. I’m incredibly honest. If we play good [I say] we played good and today I thought we played good.
“Our game will save us. We can do it. We conceded few chances compared to the Nottingham Forest game that we won. We’re making the right tempo.
“We missed the last pass, did not arrive in the six-yard box [at the right time] or have the composure at the right moment.
“But I love my team. This is life, it happens. Sometimes you have a bad period but I’m going to insist until we’re there.”
City now face a tricky trip to Paris St Germain, who are also on the verge of failing to qualify, next month.
