Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
September 2025
Manchester City recorded just 32.8% possession in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal, the lowest ever for a Pep Guardiola side in a top-flight league match across his 20-year managerial career. Fatigued by tough games against Manchester United and Napoli, City adopted a more defensive style at the Emirates. Guardiola acknowledged Arsenal were superior, but praised his side’s resilience despite injuries and travel demands, accepting the draw as a fair outcome under the circumstances.
