Manchester City is facing a crisis after losing three consecutive matches for the first time since April 2018, including a heavy 1-4 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. This has raised concerns about the club's future and manager Pep Guardiola's position.
In a week of setbacks, City was knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham, lost 1-2 to Bournemouth in the Premier League, and suffered a shocking loss to Sporting Lisbon. Despite taking an early lead against Sporting, City collapsed in the second half, allowing Viktor Gyokeres to score a hat-trick and handing Sporting a dominant victory.

This marks the first time in over five years that City has lost three matches in a row, prompting questions about Guardiola's tactics and the team’s performance. The defeats have also disrupted their Premier League title challenge, with City now trailing Liverpool by two points.
Guardiola, in the final year of his contract, is under immense pressure. Injuries and tactical issues have led to instability, and with the team failing to bounce back, questions about Guardiola's future at the club have intensified. The recent losses may just be the beginning of a crisis that could define City's season.
