Manchester City defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in the fourth round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, thanks to a brace from Foden, as well as goals from Haaland and Rajan Sergić. Manager Pep Guardiola said after the match that the victory gave the players more motivation to meet the challenges ahead and hoped that the "Citizens" would continue on the right track.
After securing two consecutive wins, Manchester City are currently in fourth place in the standings with 10 points, two points behind first-placed Bayern Munich.
In addition, Manchester City will host Liverpool in the next round of the Premier League, which is another tough and highly anticipated match.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said, "The players' body language, their way of playing, and how they compete are all very important. I said the same thing 10 days ago after the loss to Aston Villa, and the same thing during the Club World Cup. We are facing a particularly strong opponent in the Premier League, and Arsenal currently looks almost invincible."
“It’s really important to perform well now, and I want to see the team continue to grow and keep striving to get better and stronger. When we perform like this and reach the final stages of the season, the team will be in the right place. When we lost to Aston Villa, people will forget our performance against Swansea, but we have to win games because when the team loses, we have to win as quickly as possible.”
Guardiola said, "This helped us beat Bournemouth and helped us win this game. We did it, and now we have one more day to prepare for the game against Liverpool."
Furthermore, Foden, who scored the winning goal for Manchester City, said, "When the team is united and everyone is on the same wavelength, you can see that effect in the game. My teammates have all performed exceptionally well this season, and everyone has maintained a very high standard. When the team is at its best, it can achieve results."
"I am very happy for everyone. Everyone is doing their best and fulfilling the tactical requirements. I hope we can continue to move forward like this."
