UCL exit: Doku insists Man City still have ‘lot to play for’

Following their Champions League exit, Jeremy Doku remains optimistic about Manchester City's season, highlighting their competitive spirit.

Jeremy Doku, a winger for Manchester City, expressed confidence in his team's potential for success despite being eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid. In a recent interview, he noted the quality exhibited by the squad during their two-legged tie against the Spanish giants, believing that the experience could serve as fuel for upcoming competitions. Despite the 5-1 aggregate defeat, Doku emphasized that they played well in both matches and maintained a promising outlook for the rest of the season.

The defeat to Real Madrid was a significant blow to City's aspirations, especially following a disappointing draw against West Ham that left them trailing Premier League leaders Arsenal by nine points. The recent string of results has raised questions about City’s form, but Doku pointed out that team morale is still high as they pivot towards the League Cup final against Arsenal. Doku's remarks reflect a determination within the squad to rebound and focus on the opportunities ahead, particularly in domestic competitions.

As Manchester City gears up for their League Cup final on Sunday, the challenge is to regain momentum and confidence. For Doku and his teammates, the goal will be to transform their frustrations from the Champions League exit into a renewed drive as they fight for silverware in the league and cup competitions. The upcoming match will test their resilience and set the tone for the remainder of their campaign.
