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. Pep Guardiola was right... Newcastle United ARE contenders for the top four! (10/2022): Newcastle United have shown they have what it takes to gatecrash the Champions League places this season after moving fourth in the table following Saturday's thumping win.

Pep Guardiola’s legendary four-year spell as Barcelona manager yielded unprecedented success and changed how the game is be played at the top level forever. I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last 10 years, and it will happen in the next 10 years because this club is so stable.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late equaliser cancelled out Erling Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal to earn the Reds a share of the spoils. But after the final whistle, Nunez became embroiled in a heated altercation with Guardiola, with Jurgen Klopp forced to intervene and pull the striker away. Under his very special leadership our first team has accomplished so much, whilst continuously playing, and constantly evolving, a City style of football that is admired the world over. Another fantastic acquisition by Pep Guardiola was the signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson from Benfica in 2017.

During an interview with Sky Sports in May, he said, “It has been many years (he has worked at City) and I have to see how the team and ourselves are together. I say I would stay for 10 more years, but we have to take time for that.” Seeing off the threat of Borussia Dortmund, Pep led his all-conquering Bayern to the last four of the UEFA Champions League in each of his three seasons, landing the Bundesliga three times and winning the league and cup double twice.

Can you name every manager to have won the Champions League?

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. 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.

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. Two years ago it would have seemed scandalous to include Sane this far down the list after he had three extremely impressive seasons in Manchester following his move from Schalke in the summer of 2016.Our winning form has continued for the remainder of the season under Guardiola's leadership, helping City lift our third consecutive Premier League title with three games remaining of the 2022/23 campaign.
