Guardiola's Manchester City record lowest possession ever | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola's Manchester ended up with a 1 x 1 draw against Arsenal, but it drew attention for another reason: it had only 32.8% of ball possession, according to Opta.

This was the game with the LOWEST ball possession of a team led by Guardiola in his entire league career, which now totals 601 matches.

Curious? The second worst number was also against Arsenal, in March of 2023, with 36.5% possession.

Is Guardiola changing? Or was it just pragmatism? The fact is that, even with this different strategy, the team came away with a point on the road.

Arsenal also didn't shine much and had difficulty breaking through the blockade. Result: a choppy game and historic statistics.

With this, Liverpool remains the isolated leader, with 15 points. Arsenal is the runner-up, with 10. And City is ninth, with seven.
