Manchester City are the defending Premier League Champions. However, it is quite certain that at the end of the season we are going to get a new winner. Afterall they are 22 points behind the league leaders with just 9 games remaining. Furthermore, they have also been knocked out of the Champions League which implies that they are alive in just in one tournament i.e., the F.A. Cup. A defeat in the F.A. Cup would mean a trophyless season (Something which they have not experienced since the 2016-17). Apart from that the defending champions are presently positioned 5th in the Premier League. This too is a sign of danger. Afterall in order to qualify for the next year's Champions League, they need to finish top 4. Hence it can be said that there is still a lot many things for which City should strive this season.
The men in blue need to play well in the remaining games of the Premier League or else they will be playing Europa or Conference League next season. Furthermore, they cannot afford any kind of laxity in their F.A. Cup Campaign as well. Hence it can be said that the 2024-25 Season has now become a fight of honor for the defending champions. Will City make it? Or will they perish in between? The answer to this lies in the womb of time.
