*GUARDIOLA SOUNDS THE ALARM: Man City’s Champions League Hopes Hang in the Balance as Manager Admits Qualification Will Be a Tough Task!*

Manchester, England – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has issued a stark warning to his players and fans, admitting that qualification for next season’s Champions League will be a difficult task.

Guardiola’s comments come after City’s disappointing 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened West Ham United on Sunday, which left them trailing league leaders Liverpool by 4 points with just 8 games remaining.

“We have to be realistic,” Guardiola said in his post-match press conference. “We are not in a good position to qualify for the Champions League. We have to win almost all of our remaining games, and even then, it’s not guaranteed.”

*CITY’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WOES:*

Manchester City has been a mainstay in the Champions League in recent years, but their hopes of qualifying for next season’s competition are hanging by a thread.

The team’s inconsistent form, coupled with the resurgence of other top-four contenders like Chelsea and Tottenham, has left City facing an uphill battle to secure a spot in Europe’s premier club competition.

*GUARDIOLA CALLS FOR IMPROVEMENT:*

Guardiola has called on his players to raise their game and show the necessary hunger and desire to qualify for the Champions League.

“We need to improve our performance, especially in the big games,” Guardiola said. “We can’t afford to drop points against teams like West Ham. We need to be more consistent and show more quality if we want to achieve our goals.”

*CITY’S NEXT FIXTURES:*

Manchester City’s next three fixtures are:

– Liverpool (away) – April 1
– Brighton & Hove Albion (home) – April 4
– Tottenham Hotspur (away) – April 8
