Humbled by Lionel Messi and Barcelona. Now people are asking where Manchester City will finish in the Premier League?
Could they not just miss out on the title but on the top four altogether? That question was unthinkable only a few weeks ago. The champions looked nailed on for second place at worst. Prior to Boxing Day they were flying; on a run of eight wins and a draw.
Since then they have crashed out of the Champions League, the FA Cup and taken just 16 points from a possible 33 - a run book-ended by two games against Burnley; a draw in December and Saturday's expensive defeat.
