Rhodes urged people not to pay special attention to the standings, but to focus on their own level first.


Manchester City, nicknamed "The Blue Moon," took the lead in the 20th round of the Premier League thanks to a first-half goal from Reindes, but conceded a late equalizer in the second half, ultimately being held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea. Rodri stated that there's no need to focus too much on the league standings now; the team should concentrate on improving its own level.


Manchester City's attack was cleared in the 42nd minute, and Reindes, after dealing with the defense, got the ball back and slotted it home to give Manchester City a 1-0 lead.


In the second half stoppage time, Gusto broke through the defense and passed the ball to Enzo, whose close-range shot was blocked by Manchester City goalkeeper Donnarumma. Enzo then followed up with a shot to score, helping Chelsea equalize the score at 1-1.


Manchester City were ultimately held to a 1-1 draw at home by Chelsea. After a run of 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches, Manchester City currently sit second in the league table with 42 points, 6 points behind leaders Arsenal.


Manchester City midfielder Rodri said, "There is indeed a significant gap in the standings right now, but football is made up of moments. We know it's a gap that needs to be fought for. But let's not just focus on the standings, but on our own level and the important moments that are coming up at the end of the season. Let's see where we are in May and see if we still have a chance to compete for the title."


"Being behind is certainly unpleasant, but we know we must remain mentally strong and keep fighting. We need to be smart enough to understand that we can't afford to lose too many more points. There will definitely be ups and downs at this stage, and from now until the end of the season, we must give it our all."


Speaking about the performance against Chelsea, Rodri said, "I think we missed a lot of chances, and in those situations we have to be more composed and efficient. The game changed, and we didn't respond in time."


"There's always a risk in a 1-0 scoreline, and the opponent scored in the last minute, but what's done is done, and we must learn from it. Don't be discouraged, maintain that strong championship mentality we have, and fight until the very last moment."
