After City win, Guardiola sees signs of improvement on last season | OneFootball

With goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva still in the first half, Manchester City defeated Villarreal 2-0 this Tuesday at the Estadio de la Ceramica, in the Champions League. Thus, City reached its eighth game unbeaten this season, a feat celebrated by coach Pep Guardiola, who sees things “improving” for the English team.

“I see that things are improving. We are playing a little better every day, and that is a good sign. They feel better than last year and we are controlling most of the games,” said Guardiola in an interview with Movistar+.

Last season's turbulence

Guardiola's statement is associated with City's performance last season, when the team fell far below the level developed in recent years, accumulating consecutive defeats and even struggling to secure their qualification for the Champions League.

However, this season, City's situation is better. Besides the eight unbeaten games, the team is in second place in the Premier League and, for now, in the top 5 of the Champions League.
