"Manchester City” club found itself in a dangerous zone in the UEFA Champions League.

On Wednesday, the "citizens” lost 2:4 away to Paris Saint-Germain, and with one round left, they found themselves outside the knockout stages.

However, "City” just need a win at home against "Club Brugge” in the last round, and after the defeat in Paris, team manager Pep Guardiola stated that if his team stays outside the knockout stages, they will have deserved it.

"We have one last chance against Brugge. If we don’t qualify for the knockout stages, it means we are not worthy of it. Now we have to look forward to the upcoming match against Chelsea and move on.

Last night, PSG were simply the better team. We must congratulate our opponents and accept that.

Their players showed dedication and were just better. We found our chances and led 2:0, but PSG had two great opportunities in the first half,” – praised the opponents P. Guardiola after the defeat.
