Pep Enjoys Siesta While Rivals Battle…

While the Champions League heats up, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City is busy chilling with a cold drink and a sunhat, grateful for a “refreshing” break. City’s exit at the hands of Real Madrid left Pep admitting, “We were basically doing the moonwalk backward and calling it a dance!”

In a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood movie, City may get back into the Champions League by doing… absolutely nothing! Thanks to some Premier League pals, like Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester United, Pep’s dream for Champions League glory remains alive.

The real magic trick? Hoping these teams go beast mode against their opponents—Liverpool’s set to zap a jolt into PSG, and Manchester United can help by sending Real Sociedad packing.

Meanwhile, grand wizard Opta conjures up a whopping 99.5% chance that an extra CL spot opens up for England. More rivals heading into European battles makes this dream seem more like a reality.

So as City lounges in the sun, they tip their hats to their fellow English teams. After all, letting Arsenal and Villa handle the heavy lifting sounds superb—especially if it helps City slip into the Champions League through the backdoor!
