Are Manchester City Equipping Themselves for Dual Demands This Season?
· Sports · BBC Sport
Manchester City have made an unbeaten start in both the Women's Super League and the Champions League under manager Andree Jeglertz. The team retained most of their squad from last season and made only three summer signings to defend their WSL title. Manager Jeglertz has rotated his starting lineup while using substitutions effectively, including Beth Mead's assist against Birmingham City and Kerstin Casparij's goal against Arsenal. City recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Bayern Munich and also fought back to tie 1-1 with Real Madrid. The squad has secured six points from losing positions in the domestic league so far this campaign.
