Manchester City delivered a resounding statement just days before their pivotal Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Guardiola’s men dismantled Ipswich Town with an emphatic 6-0 victory, recording the largest win of the 2024-25 Premier League season. Beyond the scoreline, the match showcased a team seemingly past its struggles from 2024 and ready to reclaim its dominance.
Phil Foden stole the show, contributing a brace and an assist for Kovacic’s goal. The English star appears to be back at his best, netting 5 goals in his last 3 league matches. Jeremy Doku was electric down the left flank, adding a goal and assisting Haaland, who celebrated his contract extension with a strike. The team’s cohesion and confidence were evident, capped off by McAtee’s finish in the 69th minute from a pinpoint Kovacic pass.
The victory lifts City to fourth place, level on points with Newcastle, extending their unbeaten streak to 5 games. While the Ipswich fixture was far from the most challenging test, Guardiola will be encouraged by the return to form of his key players. Attention now turns to the Champions League, where City faces PSG in a match that could define their European campaign. With reinforcements set to join the squad, City looks well-positioned to rewrite their season’s narrative.
