Manchester City had a string of good results, but lost their first points of the year away to Brentford. Chelsea, for their part, are really not doing any better.
Life is more beautiful when Kevin De Bruyne is decisive. This is what Pep Guardiola must be saying, who was again able to count on the Belgian for 90 minutes this Tuesday – a third consecutive match without leaving the field for KDB, which sends a huge message about his physical form.
De Bruyne once again offered an assist, as against West Ham, for Phil Foden’s opening goal in the second half. The Englishman will then offer himself a double and we thought City on velvet.
-Two late goals from Brentford, however, caused Guardiola’s men to lose their first points in 2025, without Jérémy Doku being able to do anything about it since he remained on the bench the entire match.
Nothing is going well at Chelsea
There is worse form, however, than that of Manchester City at the moment: that of Chelsea. The Blues in fact snatched a poor home draw against Bournemouth (2-2) at the very end of the match (90th+5), and have not won in the league for a month. Roméo Lavia started, but came off on the hour mark (not for physical reasons this time).
