'Please play against us!' - Man City brutally trolled by San Marino super fan after breaking unwanted Pep Guardiola record in Tottenham defeat

Champions League

Juventus

Manchester City

<p>Pep Guardiola has hit a new low, with the highly-decorated Catalan coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-are-you-sure-man-city-flops-embarrassed-manager-tottenham-biggest-challenge/blt31b5faf08af250ba" target="_blank">enduring the worst run of his trophy-laden managerial career</a>. A stunning slump from the reigning Premier League champions has been bookended by defeats to Tottenham.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Spurs saw off City in the Carabao Cup back on October 30, before repeating the trick in top-flight competition on Saturday as they left Manchester with a remarkable 4-0 win. In between those setbacks, City came unstuck against Bournemouth, Sporting and Brighton in Premier League and Champions League competition.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Plenty are suggesting that the wheels are falling off City’s bandwagon - one which steered them to Treble glory in 2022-23 – with there much work to be done on the field as they continue to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-catastrophic-ban-all-competitions-guilty-ffp-breaches-english-football-thrown-into-chaos/blt3bd75759a2b6683a" target="_blank">fight a 115-charge Financial Fair Play case</a> that has sparked speculation of points penalties or potential demotion into or completely out of the English Football League.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Guardiola’s side have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/outplayed-every-department-gary-neville-man-city-in-decline-easy-to-play-against-miserable-run-spurs/bltec4243275751da2e" target="_blank">lost their fear factor</a>, leading international minnows San Marino – who have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/san-marino-make-history-score-three-for-first-time-ever-stunning-upset/bltbf43f00453dbcc18" target="_blank">enjoying a historic purple patch in the UEFA Nations League</a> of late – poking fun at the star-studded Blues. Their popular X account, which is run by a passionate supporter, has posted in response to seeing City suffer a humbling reversal on home soil against Spurs: “Hello, please play against us. I think we can beat you.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hello, please play against us. 🙏<br><br>I think we can beat you. 🇸🇲</p>— San Marino Fútbol 🇸🇲 (@SanMarinoTeam) <a href="https://twitter.com/SanMarinoTeam/status/1860404749192867957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 23, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT SAN MARINO SAID

<p>City still have nine games to take in before reaching the January transfer window, when they will be in a position to spend again and bolster their ranks – with Liverpool, Juventus, Manchester United and Aston Villa all set to be faced before 2024 comes to a close.</p>
