Shadow Over Season's End / Manchester City Humiliated in England

In just a few days, Manchester City's reputation and credibility have plunged from their peak to the lowest point imaginable.

According to "Sports Three", this club has not experienced the days of being in the lower divisions of English football for more than 25 years, but now it has tasted the true taste of humiliation in trips away from home, especially in Anfield stadium, and it seems that it will experience it in all English stadiums until the end of the season.

The very high tension on the way to the stadium and the atmosphere filled with anger and hostility of Liverpool fans against Manchester City showed how much the atmosphere has changed. The root of this story is clear; After a lengthy investigation, the club has been found guilty of 115 allegations of financial misconduct between 2009 and 2018, and only the exact amount of the punishment remains to be announced. Until then, City's away journey will be a long, grueling and noisy journey.

The draw of the tournament was made in such a way that City's first match after the national holiday will be held at Anfield against Liverpool. Liverpool fans, who had a fierce rivalry with Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in recent years, used the opportunity to take a stand against City with different slogans and banners. This is the atmosphere that Manchester City will face in their remaining 15 away matches in the Premier League, and every trip will be a huge humiliation and challenge for this team.

After his team's victory in Anfield, Enzo Maresca pointed out the difficulty of competing in such a high-profile and hostile environment and asked his players to answer the critics on the field. The City manager emphasized that the team must learn how to deal with these noises and protests in away matches and respond by winning matches.

Liverpool legend Jimmy Carragher, on the other hand, believes that if City are found guilty, they should not be allowed to win the title and the fines should be more deterrent. Gary Neville also stated that the official announcement of the rulings will cast a heavy shadow over the entire Premier League in the coming months.

Meanwhile, the European Champions League and the match against Paris Saint-Germain are considered a refuge for Manchester City. Playing in Etihad Stadium and supporting the fans can strengthen the morale of the team. The club has planned to support the team with a rousing welcome from the players and the presence of former Pep Guardiola in the stands so that City will have a strong support at home in these tumultuous days.
