Darwin Nunez simply couldn’t help himself. But Pep Guardiola can’t complain too much about being on the receiving end this time. Spanish forward Nolito was one of Guardiola's first signings as City boss and the former Celta Vigo man got off to a solid start at the Etihad, bagging two goals and an assist during his first three Premier League appearances. In his second season he guided the Blues to the Premier League title and the Carabao Cup, smashing records along the way in a stunning season. We have a lot of space in behind, and they have incredible runs with [Luis] Diaz, with Darwin Nunez, with [Mohamed] Salah, of course, and now with [Dominik] Szoboszlai and [Ryan] Gravenberch." Not even he would have expected to make over 300 appearances, winning five La Liga titles, five Copas del Rey and two Champions Leagues during his eight years at the club. 3. David Villa
Highly rated from his time at Udinese, Barcelona fought off a lot of competition to get the Chilean’s signature in 2011. Man City boss Pep Guardiola does not believe his side will win the Premier Leagu (04/2022): Guardiola believes this season's battle will be decided by points, given it would take Liverpool to draw and City lose for the destination of the trophy to be determined by the finest of margins. 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.
The wider talk now, which admittedly should be caveated by the fact that December 1 is still a few days away, will be whether or not City now have a genuine and credible threat to their Premier League title this time out? But by all accounts he was a hugely popular figure in the dressing room and adored by Messi, having joined on a free transfer from Celta Vigo following an earlier loan. That kind of morale-boosting influence is priceless. 8. Adriano
Real Madrid defender David Alaba praises Man City boss Pep Guardiola ahead of Ch (05/2022): Guardiola inherited Alaba as a 21-year-old when he took over at Bayern Munich in 2013, helping him to make successive Champions League and Bundesliga teams of the year. 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. 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.

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. 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.
