MANCHESTER CITY hosted their players’ partners at the club’s festive gathering, looking to turnaround their tough season.
Pep Guardiola’s team has achieved just one win in their last 12 contests in all competitions, suffering three straight defeats along the way.
Given their current form, City has found themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table since early November, with just four points gathered from their last eight games.
After dropping to seventh place during the holiday season, Guardiola has recently admitted that his performance has been “not good enough”.
Nonetheless, he hopes that the festive event has helped boost the team’s morale.
Instagram posts showcased Ilkay Gundogan celebrating with his wife Sara alongside Bernardo Silva and his partner Ines Degener Tomaz.
Moreover, another image showed Kevin de Bruyne sharing a kiss with his wife Michele Lacroix.
It is not common for Premier League teams to invite players’ partners to their Christmas celebrations, although it’s unclear if this is typical for Man City.
Regardless, Guardiola will be eager to ensure his team is mentally ready for their next match against Everton at Etihad on Boxing Day.
A fifth consecutive Premier League title already seems out of reach for the defending champions.
