Guardiola Confident Man City Will Qualify for Champions League
- Manchester City won 3-1 against Bournemouth on May 20, 2025, in their final home Premier League match of the season.
- The win came after City's recent narrow defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final and during a tight Premier League battle for Champions League spots involving Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
- City, previously sixth with 65 points, climbed to third with 68 points and have one game remaining to secure a top-five position that guarantees Champions League football next season.
- Manager Pep Guardiola expressed strong belief that the team will secure a top-five Premier League finish to qualify for next season’s Champions League, adding that if they fail to do so, playing in the Europa League would be justified. He also highlighted the significance of the upcoming match for Kevin De Bruyne, as it will be the Belgian midfielder’s final home appearance for the club.
- The win improves City's chances in the league, while De Bruyne’s departure after ten years marks the end of an era for the Belgian playmaker's time at the club.
