Manchester City’s Champions League dream is over, but the fight is far from finished.
Jérémy Doku isn’t dwelling on the loss to Real Madrid. Instead, his eyes are locked on Wembley. The Carabao Cup final against Arsenal isn’t just another game it’s a chance to respond, to heal, to remind everyone who City are.
Down to 10 men, 5-1 on aggregate, and still pushing Madrid till the end that’s not failure, that’s fight. Doku made it clear: this team doesn’t break. Bernardo Silva’s red card? No blame, only backing. That’s what champions do they stand together when it hurts the most.
Pep Guardiola’s message was simple: be proud. And they should be.
Now comes a defining run Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea… big games, big moments. The Premier League gap is there, but so is belief. Three trophies still in reach.
For City, this isn’t the end of the story.
It’s where the comeback begins.
