Manchester City concedes 40 Premier league Goals so far
Manchester City have now conceded 40 goals in the Premier League this season — marking the highest number of goals they've allowed in a single league campaign since Pep Guardiola took charge. The defensive record comes as a surprise for a team that has consistently prided itself on control and dominance under the Spanish manager.
This milestone highlights a noticeable shift in City's defensive solidity, which has traditionally been one of the hallmarks of Guardiola’s reign. In previous seasons, City have often boasted the best defensive records in the league, but this campaign has seen more lapses at the back, with teams finding more success in breaking down their back line.
Despite remaining competitive in the title race, the statistic raises questions about City’s defensive consistency and whether it could impact their pursuit of silverware. With crucial fixtures still to come, Guardiola will be hoping his side can tighten up at the back to avoid further setbacks.
