The record that Pep Guardiola would not have liked to equal – C1 – J4 ​​- Sporting-Manchester City (4-1)

Finished, Pep?

This Wednesday, Manchester City supporters had to wet their necks before starting their second half on the Sporting pitch. At 1-1 at the break, the Skyblues then sank to end up losing 4-1. The third defeat for Phil Foden's gang in all competitions in the space of a week after Tottenham (2-1) in the League Cup and Bournemouth in the Premier League (2-1).

Almost unprecedented in Pep's career

Enough to equal a sad record for Pep Guardiola, that of the greatest number of defeats in a row in his career. Only the second time this has happened for him since joining City in 2016 and the third in his entire career. The last time was in 2017-2018. Despite a delicate situation, Pep Guardiola wanted to reassure the fans after the meeting: “ I want to fight and not give up, I like the challenge that awaits me as a coach. I'm not giving up, maybe people are waiting for it, but I'm not giving up. I want to take on the challenge and encourage the players. The players who want to follow me will be there. It's football. »

What if you should ask his mentor, Pep Genesio, for advice?
