Juventus delivered another blow to Manchester City’s UEFA Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday, thanks to second-half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie.
Both teams entered the match needing a win to stay in contention for a top-eight finish, but it was Juventus who secured all three points.
The upcoming Christmas break in Champions League football offers City manager Pep Guardiola an opportunity to regroup before his side faces a crucial, must-win match against PSG. After that, they will host Club Brugge in their final group-stage fixture.
In the immediate future, City have the stern test of a Manchester derby on Sunday in the Premier League.
