The Uruguayan centre-half has had a strange career, spent largely on the periphery of hugely successful teams. He won six Scudetti with Juventus for starters, the first and last of which came during loan spells away from Sevilla and Lazio respectively. I’m incredibly pleased about the performance we played because we know exactly, in seven or eight years here, how tough they are. How good a team they are… He is Barca's most successful manager with 14 trophies in four years, including three La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues. He then won three Bundesliga titles in a row at Bayern. There are players that are not happy and they are the players who have to leave. They cannot stay here. They have to leave and now is the moment, not when the season is coming. Now is the time to bring agents here and say: ‘I want to leave because I want to play every three days and I’m not going to play every three days.’”
Considering the opposition, Liverpool generally defended as well as you would expect as they kept their visitors at bay with the sort of play that saw them head into the weekend with the best defensive record in the Premier League. The touch and shot that arrowed past Ederson with 10 minutes of normal time left had all the hallmarks of the iconic former Reds skipper and was enough to earn a 1-1 draw after Erling Haaland’s opener. His previous contract had been due to expire next summer, but before signing a new one he wanted to be sure, alongside his family, that this was the right step to take — everyone in his inner circle had to be on board with the decision. Another one they can thank Sevilla’s director of football Monchi for, having signed him from their La Liga rivals in 2008. 4. Javier Mascherano
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. Cancelo endured a difficult debut campaign but found his feet this year, playing a crucial role in City's fifth Premier League triumph. Having finished a distant fifth, some 22 points behind the champions last season, such a turnaround seems unthinkable but if any club knows how to navigate their way around Guardiola's City behemoth to title glory, it is Klopp’s Reds. With 23 goals scored in 18 appearances so far, Haaland’s impact is incomparable with anything else.
Lately we decide 'OK we will do it' and after the decision with the family was right, so I said let's do it." He developed his game learning alongside Puyol, and has subsequently become a leader himself, unafraid to speak out about political issues and Catalan independence off the pitch, putting in cultured performances on it and even taking a heavy pay cut as Barca have struggled financially of late. And when he realised the time came to hang up his boots, he did it without fuss. He gives his opinion, I give my opinion and after everyone works in the way he believes he should for the benefit of the club and the whole organisation, from the top until the bottom. 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. The brutal truth is in a season where City have struggled to find the consistency and effectiveness of recent campaigns, Cancelo is one of those who have not reached the required levels.Graymanuk: Sad to see Joao Cancelo move on - he adds something different to Manchester City and can play left and right. Rico Lewis is promising but still too raw for big games. At least we didn't loan Cancelo to Arsenal! 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.
The manager continues to take us to new heights as he led the Club to our first ever Super Cup victory in our debut appearance in the European showpiece. Zinchenko has gone on to make 100 appearances for City, including 32 last season in what was perhaps his most impressive yet.

Man City XI vs Southampton: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Pre (10/2019): Pep Guardiola will likely ring the changes as his Manchester City team face Southampton for the second time in five days. Guardiola, who has signed Mateo Kovacic but lost Ilkay Gündogan and Riyad Mahrez, said he wanted to keep Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva. Bayern Munich are keen to sign Walker, and Silva is attracting interest from Barcelona and Saudi Arabia. It seems harsh to place Cancelo so far down this list considering his excellent showings during the 2020/21 season but that is testament to how successful some of Guardiola's other signings have been. Akanji’s signing was then closed pretty swiftly, helped by the 27-year-old Swiss international having made it clear to Dortmund earlier in the year that he would not renew his contract. Pep Guardiola claims he used his looks to 'SEDUCE' his Manchester City players b (11/27/23): The City boss finds his side competing for four trophies this season after last year's Treble success, with the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and Club World Cup all being targeted.
City’s move for Akanji was a major factor in getting Guardiola to sign his new contract (Photo: David Ramos/Getty Images) Unfortunately for Hleb, he was a spectator on the bench for most of that treble-winning 2008-09 campaign and was subsequently shipped out on loan before a permanent transfer to Krylia Sovetov Samara in 2012. Before that Liverpool match, Guardiola had agreed to give his players three days off, as they did not have a fixture until Brighton& Hove Albion’s visit the following weekend. 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.Laporte was an instant success in Manchester, helping guide City to a record 100 points in the Premier League and EFL Cup triumph in his debut campaign.
