I like how Guardiola had overcomplicated things for himself in the past that he had to go through a journey of undoing the knots that he tied, to discover the traditional winning formula of football - 1v1 specialists in the wings to cause chaos, overlapping fullbacks to provide support, having the creative player closer to goal.
pep doesn't use overlapping fullbacks, he uses inverted fullbacks.
@@Tasmanaut Listen first.
Gvardiol and Walker were 100% Overlapping to the wings this season. Stone inverts but he wasn't playing much down the stretch
Pep did not overcomplicate anything really. All his tactical shifts have been a response to other team's evolution and answers to his approaches. Football is like that, strategies that loop around countering each other. Against some opposition having controllers like Grealish would do better, just as against some other teams having Doku creating chaos would be much nicer. Having Walker overlap aggresively against a rapid killer like Mane would have been suicide, so it is naive to say Pep overcomplicated things to magically realize he was wrong. (as if he isn't the best or one of the best coaches of all time).
That midfield without gundogan was such a massive issue
They usually attack through the middle and used the wide areas to effect control
But this season they couldnt achieve either
So next season they have to deploy risk takers in the wide areas as well as midfield
If they get the transfer they want in this window pep is gonna cook next season
Gundogan is back !!
"Chelsea i have no idea who they are anymore. Tottenham . Always fighting for 4th that's the ceiling. United? Slight improvement in the board but more of the same on the pitch. It's safe to say pep is laughing at the mess other clubs are in right now "
Mourinho last week
I have no doubt man city will win it 5 in a row next season aswell lol. especially with the signings they'll make.
city will be league champions again...
Yeah, Man City indeed looks stoppable against a good opposition, but at the moment none of the teams in the EPL seem up to the challenge. Arsenal did well against them, but they always seem to slip elsewhere.
@edvardhagerupgrieg724 I don't think that's gonna happen soon, since all their veterans are getting old and leaving, there's shadow over Guardiola's extension and then there's the latest legal issues. And they're currently investing in very young talents, 16-17 years old. Maybe they'll do enough to assure sustenance in the top flight, but I don't know if they'd dominate England like they do now, at least for some time. Europe is another story, not much chance there with Real Madrid and their players just entering their prime.
@Chip_Fuse lol my man is trying so hard to make city seems like they will be worce next season. Alot of City starters are below 28 only Walker & KBD are old. Kbd is already replaced by Foden. Savio is coming for the RW with Doku on the left. The transfer window is not even open yet
Doku was really a can opener for City this year, a lot of points were given by his plays
How? I can only remember west ham and bournemouth.
yup, he's Man City' get out of jail free card. If they're in trouble he takes em outta there for the most part.
he integrated so well its crazy
@@idanlewenhoff2295 and from a guy that came from Rennes to one of the best teams in the world, being so important in his first season shows a huge amount of potential there
@@wahidj4773Madrid, Man united, Tottenham and I could go on. These are big games he did well in his first season mostly of the bench
You analysis on the City's massive vulnerability is spot on. Since the fall of 2023, I had been raising that issue. Going into game 6 of the regular PL season, City had already conceded more goals and had fewer clean sheets at that point than each of the previous 3 seasons in their entirety. Additionally, City also had the worst ranked defense against the counter in the PL. All very alarming statistics and it is not like no one could see those issues until the season concluded. Hell, in the fall, 6 dropped points were directly related to Pep's suicidally high line via forced defensive errors and counter attacks on their own: Tot 3-3 when City was up; CHelsea game at the Bridge when City were up another counter attack forced Dias to have a bozo moment and give away a pen thereby drawing 4-4 and the Palace game in which City was up 2-0 going into the last 20-min when Walker, like so often this season, got burned on the counter and Palace scored and then in extra time, Silva loses the ball, Palace pick it up, Walker gets burned and Foden makes a forced error in the box giving away the pen and Palace draw 2-2. And that was all before Christmas, and still Pep seemed like he didn't see it as an issue.
Given all that, what I find so mid-boggling is that when Pep played RM in the CL, he refused to adapt his backline like he did the season before (Recall, Pep played a flat back 4 against RM at the Bernabeau as it was his most conservative setup and then when at the Etihad, Pep was more aggressive and went with a back 3 with overlapping FBs and inverting Stones which is still more conservative to what he played in both games this season). In the case of last season, Pep adapted his tactics and was richly rewarded for it, but in this season, it is like he completely unlearned everything.
Why would Pep, full well knowing just how dangerous RM are on the counter and how vulnerable City are to it, set up with a 2:3:5 against arguably the best counter attacking team in RM this season, when he was so much more conservative last season? I'm all ears for a suitable rationale, but I have yet to hear one.
I'd argue, and I think it is quite reasonable, that doing so was the greatest contributing factor to City not advancing to the CL semifinal. Think about, of the 4 goals City conceded across the 2 legs, 3 were directly from the counter attack down the right flank which was the easiest area for opponents to counter because regardless who played there - Akanji or Walker - they were always way too far up the pitch to recover and defend properly against a quick transition. And yet Pep still continued with it going hell for leather. Why?
Walker is finished he has reached his limit. If we were playing FIfa his overall was going to go down & Akanji is left with only +1 overall max then he will drop down
Great points. City seemed very vulnerable this season. They somehow still won the EPL but Pep has some serious work to do.
You have to remember that this is more than just goal analysis and perfect tactics. The real game is played with the mental and physical state of the players. Something that the score score at the end of the game does not fully show. Remember the last game against United. We were at our worst and to me it had very little to do with managers tactics. Despite him stating the opposite.
I think it's because Pep always had to commit many players to try to have 2V1 and that was only Doku had that great 1V1 ability, walker need to be replaced, City needs to finds a replacement for KD and/or a player to relive Rodri is not acceptable he dropped 9 points because of Rodri's absence
Pep needs to buy a right winger, excellent in 1v1
@@BreezeElna-gi6di All fair points. Tbh I’ve lost some confidence in the board to get the right players in and their decisions on current players who they let go from last summer. So it will be interesting to see what happens this summer
Spot on video. This title in his Pep greatest achievement. Not only because of 4th but how below par this squad is to his previous ones. Great analysis!
Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager the world has ever seen. The formidables, centurions, treble winners, and 4 peat are the greatest sides in premier league history. Have your pick.
115
4 trophies with 115? If your club doesn't like it, take your club to Camel League under Sharia Football Law not Premier League, league for UK Football law.
Also the side that lost to transition period Madrid 🤣💀
Ancellotti is the greatest manager ever. Football is about trophies and fighting spirit, no theory and chalkboards
@@kzelmeryou say that like Pep has no trophies.
When it comes to tactical brilliance no coach in the world beats Pep.
Ancelotti beats him almost every time 😂😂😂
The games between Peps Man City and Ancelottis Real Madrid, man city always dominated tactically. The difference is that Real Madrid always find ways to win games
@@concernedcitizens4110 the last time ancelotti beat pep in 90 mins or 120 mins was 2022.
@@concernedcitizens4110lies...😂
True, but being able to buy any olayer he wants also helps
But you missed Pep's tactical shift in the run in where he changed into a 2-3-4-1 formation after the Arsenal home game.
Both fullbacks pushed up to become false wingers, which is why Walker got 2 assists vs Brighton and Gvardiol got 2 goals vs Fulham
Only two center backs would remain deep, since teams weren't pressing them it wouldn't lead to dangerous counters...
Using 3 midfielders instead of 2 pivots allowed more control as they are more difficult to press and gave them passing angles into the half space attackers
Watch build up to haaland Nottingham Forest goal, city was arranged in the 2-3-4-1 formation...
Let's not forget Alvarez's brilliant versatility. He really stepped up to play anywhere Pep wanted him. In an Arsenal game he was an LCM, on a Liverpool match he was a LW.
Although Foden was the PPOT of 23/24, Doku, Alvarez and Foden, this trio was keeping City going forward.
So excited to see what Alvarez can do with Atleti 😍
0:14 Nah bro, 45/5/43 Barca goated fr fr
Cole Palmer is a very interesting player. I very admire his youth, daring to leave the safety squares of just playing enough time and get a league bonus at the end under Pep. Pep was very keen on keeping him for a reason. Palmer is a gifted player, technical, creative, but highly physically imposing. I always wish a midfield trio of Rodri, Bellingham and Palmer
Palmer is indeed a great player but I think he has to play close to the goal. In a midfield 3 you're wasting his elite goalscoring ability. I think going to Chelsea was the best thing for him because realistically he plays in the same position as Foden, De Bruyne and Alvarez. De Bruyne and Foden work well with each other because De Bruyne is more of a assister than a goal scorer and Foden is more of a dribbler in tight spaces. However I think Palmer and Foden are too similar to effectively play together
@@danimaster6647 not actually. He can still play as a free 8 like Pep's model and Bellingham can take the left side and operate more freely. My fullbacks can go classic, going up and down to take the ball and soften the opposition's block, opening space for them. Sure, my backline needs to be quite durable and good with the ball. Robertson-Dias-Romero-Bradley would be by back 4
@@quangtrungbui675 cool bro 👍
Our worst is your best and our best is your nightmare
Aswear 😂😂😂
This great, i like his maneuvering Tactics he usually does , and unlike many Managers his willingness to change many times during the season is a key factor . Can u make vid about [ gow Atalanta ended Leverkusen long unbeaten Street in EUROPE LEAGUE Final 😬🤔] Atalanta must be very interested team .
Im just proud to be watching ManCity in this era, they will never be forgotten. 💙💙👏
Spain abandoned their whole tactics and simply went the pep rout and won a world cup, pep then went to the bundesliga and germany took 80% of pep's ideas and added their german thing to it and won the 2014 world cup, why hasn't english football improved despite pep being there for almost a decade ? Because they refused to accept the fact which is pep guardiola is the goat 😂
What Peps tactics did Spain and Germany adopt? You probably didnt even watch the 2010 and 2014 world cups
If you have many players from the best club in the world coached under pep guardiala you kinda have to play the same system
You’re a fkn clown. Firstly Spain won the World Cup and the two euros sandwiched around it because of that midfield. That’s the reason why pep succeeded at Barca along with the match fixing that was going on. Go look at man city matches and how Liverpool loses every 50/50 call while city gets away with fouls/red cards in their own box and score illegal goals against the worst clubs in the league. He’s garbage. PEP COULD NEVER SUCCEED WITHOUT BEING AT THE RICHEST CLUBS and having refs helping him every week
Pep at Barca was caught match fixing. HAVE YOU WATCHED THE ENGLISH LEAGUE AT ALL? Pep can’t win anything without the refs pls stfu they screwed Liverpool over for years and helped city win matches they shouldn’t have won.
Next season City need to go hard for a new number 10. Kova and nunes arent meant to play 10s. While foden will most likey take over KDB spot. Signing Savio for the RW def helps but he is still a project signing. They do need a world class RW still to go 1v1 and bernado playing on the RW lacks pace and ability to cut to the byline. If alvarez leaves then they would also need a 2nd striker. its gonna be a transitional season for this team but i trust in the board ability to recruit as they have always plan ahead and rarely panic buys
I think savio will do fine he has pace,can cross a ball well,can take players on,has a good workrate and he had 20 g/a for girona last season so I back him to improve the team
@@ichigoat10did you see how he played against chelsea😭 he was moving like mahrez

Bro thought we didn't see that he putted a 🐐 next to Jackson 11:00
Great video but you need to speak about rodri more cause he help a lot with attack this season like I think he was averaging 2 shot, creating actions per match
Foden would make a great bobblehead
I love how "representative XI" does not include most used players from 22/23 like Dias, Akanji, Silva or Grealish just to make a bigger impact of loses like Cancelo or Palmer.
Then representative XI would only have lose Gundogan and injuries to Stones and KdB
Sure Palmer would have been hughly important, specially with KdB, Gundogan and Mahrez out and Grealish down but there's also Foden growth there.
Paquetá would fit like a glove
And bet like a Brummie.
Banned for 10y
I felt the need to inform/remind people of the season Grealish had. Although it was depicted as a poor season, when playing, Grealish was as good as ever being at least a 7.5( eye rating) in 7-9 of his 15 starts. Doku is wonderful but unless the club, fans and Pep are willing to give him a development season, his current output is quite sub par. Hopefully competition for starting position with Savio and Grealish will help him out.
this video is on another level ,make more like these they better n more understandable
Keep flowing your 115 incoming jokes x)) your clubs' charges against City over jealousy is the manifestation of their desperation not to cope with City's dominance along the way, Ur UEFA charges failed so after that your clubs invented 115 jokes. Think your EPL are smarter than the UEFA? You can cry for 2-3 decades about that 115 jokes but the future possible titles will for City.
Madrid better
Jealous? Cheaty is sinking with 115 things? Your trophies will forever be tainted by 115 charges. Be ready on the National League Cheaty. Start finding your new club to support plastic. Madrid next? Plastic 115 FC fans.

Incredible video thank you.
As a City fan, I wonder why Pep abandoned the Treble tactic, stopped playing Stones as a phenomenal libero. Not only that, Pep played Walker & Gvardiol as traditional fullbacks. Even now it's not John Stones who plays the Stones role but Akanji 😭🤦
As a result, they were humiliated by the opponent's transitions too many times. I was confused as fuck. Then this video answers clearly. What a crazy analysis 💯
Stones is very injury prone. His form has dropped a little bit this season.
@ragunanthan787 bro he didn't watch the whole season. How come he doesn't know Stones was injured all season
and how many times Stones was available last season? yes, almost never available, my guy is fvkcin injury prone. you tackled him once there's chance he won't be available for next match, he's frustrated me with how fragile he is
Were the tactics weak or it was a personnel problem?
a mix of both tbh. the gundogan void indicated the midfield problems city had this season, walker's decline was shown.
@@chrisbrownbull but the title of the video suggest weak tactics. City had a personnel problem esp lack of a box to box midfielder and a Center back able to step into midfield and receive under pressure. Weak midfield meant they couldn't dominate big games...
Main reason is personally, not tactic
City changed when De Bruyne replaced Alvarez in midfield.
Pep trying to fit Alvarez, a striker, in midfield dragged him back the same way it did to Arteta trying to fit Havertz in midfield.
@@Rock__Dawg true. but tactics were a problem cuz like being said in the video, teams were slowly starting to learn how to defend against man city.
@@alexanderomucheyi1857 guardiola trying to fit alvarez in midfield was him mourning over gundogan. he missed that gundogan like player and tried to mold alvarez into that.
That was a really good explanation ❤
a manager pep who won the sextuple in his first season as a coach will never coach a mid table team. Stop saying pep should do it with a mid table team it's like expecting Lewis to win F1 with Toyota he will never do that
You just gotta love Man City!
this is not a tactical question but a question of player quality.

#Hala_Madrid_Y_Nada_Mas
City won the full league with false 9,so stop hating sucker
But, Premier league more competitive than la liga, In la liga club like RM and Barcelona can rotate their squad with smooth, it gave them a chance to put best squad in Champions League, this is one of the reasons why team from La Liga can dominate champions League and European league
I ever look for your documentary about city at the end of the season mate
Take your followers 🎉
Akanji’s stats are all superior to Stones’. Yet, that goes completely unmentioned. He’s just inferior. And, for some reason, that conclusion deserves no challenging nor further consideration.
Akanji having higher passing numbers shows an inability to ball progress efficiently. The CB stepping up should only be involved in breaking the pressure and basic ball retention when sustaining attacks. They really only exist to stop teams man marking Rodri as easily so he can facilitate play. Every pass by Akanji is a pass that’s more safe and less aggressive than one by Stones who has a great dribbling ability for a CB allowing him break opposition press structures before he’d lay it off to a De Bruyne or Silva.
This is an example of being able to understand stats in context rather than just stating them.
@@karmaascendant3936thank you for this clarification
Couldn’t agree more, akanji hasn’t been awful in that role but it just feels like city play worse with akanji in there. That’s why I think they’re going for a wingback like frimpong to play and not look out of place when stones isn’t there
Bruh! The way he'd get into small spaces in the final third was absurd.
The only tactic pep can do is to go back to his basics left footer winger on the left and right footer on the right thats with savio and doku
Pep's Barcelona transcended time and space and even won the 45543 season.
Excellent analysis
I'm glad someone is actually willing to call this out... guardiolas new tactics didn't really work.. the team got a lot worse! To me he seems bored, like he can't help himself but tinker even when his formula is already working. I don't accept that the changes to the tactics were forced by injury though, the fact that he sold Zinchenko last summer, and didn't replace him suggests to me that he already had the 3 CB idea in mind.
Treble winning was good. Because he focused on defence and our defence won us the treble. Last season, we lost that control in the defence again.😢😢
Bit late but could we get an analysis of the Europa League final? :)
Please can you do a tactical analysis on PSG’s First game of the season
Pep Guardiola is so tactical that he even gave 115 ways to Man City to buy players without the fear of FFP Rules.
Such a true Legend ✅
And the kid Rico Lewis really stood up when walker was out. He never lost a game.
Awesome video about one of the GOATS of football
spot on analysis
When is this bloke going to analyse the Europa League and/or Conference League finals?
Speak politely
Being able to spend more money than anyone else and allegedly break 115 PL rules in the process also helps
Please Ancelotti 2023-2024
Guardiola is a great tactician no doubt, but being able to buy any player's he wants and needs(with the added benefit of the owners cooperating with him, unlike United) is a great privilege that no other managers get
No he is very good but never turned a team completely around like Ferguson, Clough, Klopp,Shankly,Clough,Wenger,Mourinho, Bosque,Lobanovskyi,Rinus Michels(the creator of Pep tactics), Johan Cruyff( inspires by Rinus, encouraged this philosophy).
So Pep tactics started with Rinus down to Cruyff down to Pep and plenty of other managers have implemented these tactics at times but Rinus,Cruyff and Pep built a team perspective to this strategy.
However all 3 have faced the same problems, the second ball. Barcelona was undone by likes of Inter Milan and Chelsea who held positions and didn't press back four and played long balls into midfield not over defence to striker because of the sweeper keeper but to midfield and challenged for knock ons and second balls and smothered and attacked, Barcelona was always bested by Chelsea, they only ever got past them during Pep in 2009 when a ridiculous incompetent ref robbed Chelsea, Chelsea was all over them, Chelsea then did them again in 2012 despite having 10 mem. Inter imploid same tactics as did Madrid to Bayern when trounced them 4-0.
But then something changed, the game changed, tackles and duels that was fair was now fouls, ball to hand was now hand balls, winning the ball first being never a foul now was and the game soon was stopped anytime players contested for the ball, even 50/50 between two players often resulted in a sending off for who came out better in the clash. Defenders now pulling out of tackles and hesitating and running with arms behind back. The pulling of shirts and shoulder to shoulder tussles that was always part of football now effectively banned and penalties even given for slightest shirt pull.
This has drastically reduced the issues Pep,Cruyff and Rinus once had and soon other top teams had only option but to mirror the tactics even the lesser teams who would be better with the long ball game and utilising their strength rather than technic that they clearly can't match teams with.
With this players across football top leagues have become more mechanical, less individuality, less inventiveness, imagination that made the game once so great.
It's tactical, it's possession based, it's ticker tacker passing and it's boring.
Long gone the days of aerial battles, driving runs, crunching tackles, 50/50 tussles for space, long shots from spectacular angles, Volleys direct from corners, players with freedom on the pitch can interchange and move positions on own creativity, Defenders throwing bodies on the line, game rarely stopped for a foul, players got up and played on, no complaints that was seen as showing weakness and what matters more is "how you play the game" the phrase any young boy who played football would hear from their Dad on the touchline.
It had personality it had chemistry, big characters it was brilliant.
Any presentation of Southgate's tactics, if any?
I genuinely thought that Pep gonna talk about his tactics in this video. Damm that clickbait
You mistook the channel for The Coaches Voice, my friend.
Master class 🥶
Man City did 115 things differently to other teams over the years.

@@Lil_Elegant I’ll be crying with laughter when City are in the Vauxhall Conference 😂
You are talking about Pep struggling with only 3 or less players missing but Ten Haag has been without players all season and yet the media is on his neck
Ten Hag most of the time got his players available but Ten Hag's disastrous gameplan has not doing these players any favours
@JoseMiguel-fl5oi that's why ancelotti is one of the best managers around
Oh please, weakest excuse of all is blaming Ten Hag's failures on injuries. His tactics were mostly garbage and he caught MC on a bad day in the FA cup final. Man U ownership obviously isn't all that enamoured with him, since they still haven't decided whether to keep him.
@@SmashPhysical There is nothing such weak excuse for injury crisis. Injury matters. Without Licha, Varane and Mainoo, United would never win against City in fa cup final. That is not bad day for city. United tactics absolutely choked city forward and midfield. If you think injury is not excused, take out saliba and Gabriel for example from Arsenal main squad. Remember last year how arsenal crumbled with their one of main defenders injured.
I appreciate Ten Hag for dragging this dead ass team but but injury crisis is a problem with united itself. A team that got grouped in the UCL and kicked out from Carabao cup very early getting more injuries is because of poor medical staffs. It shows lack of facilities.
Manchester is and will always be blue.

Peps only weakness is against teams that sit back and press hard when off the ball thats why recently Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle have been his bogey teams
Laporte was not playing for over a year before he left.
City need a RW as dynamic as Doku and Grealish in the center
Grealish Bernardo Double 8 with doku and foden wings?
They way he destroyed klop in a stones system in the 23 season , forced klop to early retirement 😊.
False full backs , two 10s , false kepper, false 9, 4 centre backs, box midfield with a false centre back, false wingers of defenders (gvardiol, walker) .
If he was a scientist, he would have won nobel prize for several inventions and solutions to tactical problems.
First , a team without proper no 9 - the prtugese problem, a team without full backs- the belguim problem, a team with more than 2 10s, (in the 90s it was forbidden to have 2 playmakers or 10s )
He destroyed the league with 115 reasons. Forced Emirates to lawsuit Prem. 😊
False financial play you mean 😅
Pep likes tweaking, this season was the result of the incomplete tweaking
The way you are disrespecting Manuel Akanji in this video is really rubbing me off the wrong way.
This tell us how Bad and hyped the premier league teams are, city will win the PL again next season.
Watching this after Foden won PFA Player of The Year🌚🔥🔥
I only came here to become good at fc25
115. And they've admitted the charges are true by filing suit. Expel this club from English football.
no, they haven't admitted to anything. the more rival fans constantly lie about man city. you only make them look more of a victim. as of now, manchester city are innocent. that's just the fact and the truth. the investigation is ongoing and the verdict will come soon.
the lawsuit man city have filed against the premier league is over their rules. it's a completely separate case because city aren't the only club who think the premier league are a disgrace in general. Especially with how they handled manchester city's case.
Cry
Grow up
Cry more
this is just a complete lie. man city have not admitted to anything. do ur research.
I am the 116th comment, who wants to bet City get another FFP charge?
I think it’s was thanks to their new formation 1-1-5

Never forget alverez replaced kdb well

Under Pep there's no such thing as the weakest team.
Slowly but surely pep turning EPL into a Uber league 🤷♂️
they won it by paying other clubs to step aside. at least the 5,6 games !!!!!
Between city and chelsea, it seems like laundering money for oil oligarchs is the tactic that works best.
I stand on my words If Chelsea walks then City is fine
Fuck city! Great team but goddammit they’re too good
U are perfect
and yet real madrid is the champions league winner
with all the help from refeeres 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 without them madrid would be relegated
How is this at all relevant to the video
This aged well.
yup. also, nice pfp.
Okay give him tactics league trophy
More proof that this year's Arsenal team is nothing special
Exactly. City wasn't good enough this season, but yet...😂😂
Just like
With players they couldn't afford really
I can think of 115 reasons
I can think of 0 trophies this season.
Your brain can't carry that...
115, that's how
5th in a row..
DEAR PEP DONT SELL EDRSON KEVIN GREALISH DONT SEELL ANY BODY IN MANCITY -PLZ PLZ PLEASE
Gvardiol did massively contribute, one of the season changers! Shame Alvarez declined, really liked him 😢.
I'd every coach had the players they wanted pep would look average...pep isn't a tactical genius his just been able to get the best players to play like that..cause even his tactics aren't new he just had the team for it to actually succeed
Players that played under him disagree coz most of them claimed he was extraordinary and different than most coaches they trained under.U claim like he is always buying superstars but that is done by real madrid,not pep. Go check it. He buys talented players with potential via scouting and develops them. He is the inspiration behind so many modern coaches that all want to imitate the way he plays .

Pep is a tactical genius tbh but at same time not😂. Hes super smart to even smartest players and teaches them, but at same time hes unable to coach average players, he needs highest technical and IQ talent players for his tactics to have any chance of succeeding
@@ashutoshshukla5362 it's not about buying superstars...if he wants a player he will get them even if the price is ridiculous were other teams will have to compromise
@@kayongofwoloshi693 stop lying why are lying? Pep wanted Van Dyk , Maguire, Rice, Bellingham I can name more players but he didn't get them but instead they went to his rivals but still he cooked his rivals
This comment section is so funny
Yeah what a tactical genius I’ve never seen a 1-1-5 being used before.. truly impressive
Should be how City won using financial cheating. Kick them out of the league!!

Oil money. That is how he won. He bought it. Pep has never coached a team that was not already at the top. So all he has to do is walk in and keep signing the checks to win.
Bullshit! Have a look to ManU, Chelsea or PSG. They spent a lot of money, too. But they‘ren‘t successful.

well, look at Man United post Sir Alex and PSG. A lot of money, but have they achieved something like Pep did with City?
