Bravo even went on a stretch in January 2017 where he failed to make a single save across four games, conceding seven goals in the process. In fact, Guardiola was so content that day he didn’t arrived at the post-match press conference until more than one hour after the final whistle because he decided to make an unusual speech in the dressing room, which delayed all his media duties.

Guardiola had successful spells as manager at Barcelona and Bayern Munich before he joined City in 2016. The Catalan then signed a new two-year contract extension with the Club in November of 2022, a deal that will take him through to the summer of 2025. Ake struggled with hamstring problems throughout his debut campaign in Manchester, featuring just 10 times in the Premier League.

The fledgling manager was blessed to inherit the likes of Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets when he took over in 2008, but how was his record with bringing players in? And new players will be coming in, with Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham tipped to be the name of the summer for any top European club — Guardiola, by the way, has never hidden his admiration for the English teenager. The young striker has failed to consistently hold down a starting spot up front having often played second fiddle to the now departed Sergio Aguero.

Guardiola made a stunning start to life at City, winning his first 11 games in charge and was twice nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Month award in August and September 2016. The Reds were thumped 4-1 that day, a chastening occasion that effectively saw a line drawn in the sand by Klopp, ushering in a new formation and later a much-needed midfield overhaul. The Algerian wideman has put up solid numbers during his three seasons in Manchester, registering 39 goals and 37 assists despite being in and out of the first XI.

What does Leroy Sane leaving do for Pep Guardiola's squad and who will replace h (06/2020): Manchester City are set to lose Leroy Sane, who has contributed 39 goals and 45 assists in 133 games. But how have City found themselves in this position and who will fill the boots of Sane at the Etihad? He added, when asked more about Silva: “I want to work with guys who want to stay ... but after that, we have to get an offer ... a proper offer. If they want him, they will take a plane, come here and talk with our sporting director, the ceo [chief executive], to arrive at an agreement. Key members of City’s technical staff, including Guardiola and his assistant Juanma Lillo, had doubts about how Ronaldo would fit into the team. Club executives, though, were very tempted by the possibility of bringing the then 36-year-old Portuguese superstar aboard from Juventus.

It’s the first time this season that none of Klopp’s front five have registered but the sweet strike from Alexander-Arnold more than made up for it for the supporters in the away end and the shushing of the rival fans who were baying for blood was the cherry on top from a Liverpool perspective. But the Reds boss believes it was merely a case of emotions running high rather than signs of a simmering dislike between the two clubs. Bernardo Silva caught the eye of Pep Guardiola during a tie between Monaco and City in the 2016/17 Champions League in which Monaco were victorious, partly thanks to the brilliance of Bernardo. The 27-year-old has consistently performed in the heart of the City defence but has struggled for appearances in the last two seasons due to a combination of injury woes as well as the arrival of Ruben Dias. But which of his 21 incoming transfers has been the best? And which could, perhaps, be doing more to justify the money City spent to bring them in?Emotions. I am not sure I am the one who should explain it as I wasn’t the one involved – surprisingly! - I was absolutely not involved. I love them both so I tried to calm the situation down a bit without knowing 100% what had happened because I didn’t understand a word. But hard-fought draws that show reserves of character and mental strength like this one here only add further evidence to the belief that this is now a team that can really challenge for major honours this term. The way you played today is the reason why I am a manager. You made me so, so proud,” Guardiola said in his speech, as one dressing-room member revealed to The Athletic. He never told me 'Pep you have to do it'. He respects me a lot and it is an example of how we have been since day one.

Guardiola and City had a gentlemen’s agreement in which they promised themselves to make a decision by January 1. The Uruguayan had epitomised the Reds’ desire and resilience, a sufficient menace for the City defence that meant they were unable to fully commit going forward. During his time at City, he provided 39 goals and 45 assists across 135 games, an outstanding return for a young winger. Because while his admiration for players like John Stones and Rodri was made public in the buildup to this visit to Manchester City, the strike that secured what could yet be a massive point at the Etihad was pure Steven Gerrard. He added: "I can't say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable, and I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible.

City have been lending Girona players since Pere Guardiola became involved there, when the shares were bought by the French media company TVSE Futbol, in the summer of 2015, before City finally secured Pep’s signature as City’s manager. The principal purpose of buying the club is said to be the football one: maintaining a finishing school to which City can send players whom Pep is not selecting in the Premier League. Charlie: Feels a strange decision and some of Pep Guardiola's team selections, formation and tactics have been a bit unusual in the last few months. But Pep has plenty of credit in the bank so we'll just have to trust and hope he gets it right.
