"At the end of last season, what we have done, overcome the problems that we had, one of the best seasons we have had as a team, Guardiola said. The guys who were there all season, the staff and backroom staff was arguably one of the best that we had. Because it's how you overcome the problems. In this perspective, now every time when I reflect on what happened last season, I'm more proud than ever about what we have done as a club,"
"Rodri, who completed 90 minutes in the Premier League twice in 2025, is available after a hamstring injury. The midfielder missed most of the year because of a cruciate ligament injury sustained in September 2024, which sparked a poor run of form for City, and further setbacks. City sit five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, having been 14 points off the top at this point last year. They invested heavily last January, spending 172m on signings."
Manchester City turned their season around to record the highest Premier League points-per-game ratio in 2025, narrowly ahead of Arsenal who played two more matches. The club endured a rare trophyless season but sits five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand after climbing from 14 points off the top the previous year. Rodri completed 90 minutes twice in 2025 and is now available following a hamstring setback after a September 2024 cruciate ligament injury. Heavy January investment of £172m in signings and the return of key players transformed form, with City the best team in the final 10–15 league matches.
