With Juve’s double, Pep Guardiola’s squad has conceded 24 goals in the last 10 matches in all competitions, which shows the very miserable state of the Premier League champion.
At the same time, City has not tasted victory in the last 9 matches in all competitions except once against Nottingham Forest.
The stumble against Juventus is City’s third consecutive stumble in Europe, after losing to Sporting Lisbon and drawing last round in a strange way with Feyenoord.
City has lost 7 of its last 9 matches in all competitions, the worst record ever in coach Pep Guardiola’s career.
With this defeat, Manchester City’s balance froze at eight points and dropped to 22nd place, facing the specter of an early exit from the Champions League if it fails to win its two remaining matches.
As for Juventus, it reached 11th place, reached 14th place and revived its hopes of qualifying directly to the round of 16 if it succeeds in winning its next two matches.
