Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca expressed concern on Saturday after the Premier League champions suffered their third consecutive league defeat, a rare slump for the dominant side under Pep Guardiola.
Maresca, who was speaking to media ahead of City's UEFA Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena, acknowledged the team's current difficulties in domestic competition. The loss marks the first time since 2018 that City have dropped three straight league matches.
The Italian coach, who joined Guardiola's staff in 2022, emphasized the need for a quick response when City return to European action on Tuesday. Despite the domestic downturn, City remain well-positioned in their Champions League group.
