The 'blues' come of a disappointing season in which they could not fulfil all his aims, by what reinforced with Raheem Sterling in this market of signings to add danger to his offensive. In said demarcation, Pep Guardiola has players like Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva, those who conform one of the groups with greater talent of Europe. Besides, the Sampedor has added to his rows to the elder 'perla' of the Argentinian football, Julián Álvarez, and to one of the 'stars' of the sport like Erling Haaland, what convert the leading 'skyblue' in the more 'fearsome' of the world.
