Pep Guardiola’s men were once again lifting the Premier League trophy, basking in the glory of a sixth league title in seven years.
It has recorded just one win in its last 11 games and has suffered six defeats in the Premier League this season already.
But, gradually, the defeats piled up and the crisis deepened, leaving Guardiola scrambling for explanations as his team’s season has unraveled.

After so many years of winning trophies, such a run of form has caused a collapse in confidence among the players.
