Senior figures worried about Man City being in next season's Champions League
Senior figures within the English game are concerned that Manchester City could play in the Champions League next season even if they are relegated for breaching financial regulations.
Manchester City is attempting to defend their Women's Super League title while also competing in the Women's Champions League, raising questions about their ability to balance these two demands. The club made only three signings this summer and kept most of their squad from last season's WSL victory, which has allowed Manager Andree Jeglertz to rotate players effectively.
City has won every WSL game thus far and has also performed well in European competition, drawing 2-0 against Bayern Munich and coming from behind to tie 1-1 with Real Madrid in their Champions League opener. Manager Jeglertz has made several substitutions during crucial moments, turning games around with the replacements. Despite facing tough opposition, the team has demonstrated strong squad depth and resilience.
However, they acknowledge that there is still a long way to go, as only five games have been played in the WSL season and more matches remain in the league phase in Europe.
