Get in!

♪ We are the champions ♪

♪ No time for losers ♪

♪ ‘Cause we are the champions Of the world ♪

Always, I said.

Don't think that we are unstoppable.

You are perfect, and you don't know why.

In nothing, in one blink...

...you are in the desert.

And you can't understand why?

Why? That is the question.

And people say "No, I have the theory."

All the other people say "No, no, I have the clue."

"I have the theory that doing this I am going to win."

Bullshit, you are going to lose.

You don't know why it's happened, and it's happened.

Come on, boys, come on now. Come on.

Come on boys, come on boys. We start quick.

Come.

Come here, guys.

After eight or nine years,

you have to start to organise speeches before the game.

Some of you have to do it.

I don't have anything else to say.

Captains?

I'm really pleased to tell you again guys

during 38 games we are going to defend our crown.

During 38 games, and every single game

you're going out on our pitches at home and away

being the champions.

Don't forget it.

Champions?

Fofana straight to Kovačić, up against his old club.

Kovačić! That's how you do it.

A second goal for Manchester City.

The drive for the fifth Premier League title in a row has begun.

- Well done, boys. - Let's fucking go hard.

- Let's go, let's go, boys. - Come on, guys.

One second guys.

One second.

Apparently you want to win again the Premier League, right?

The good news is that you've proved again

the reason why you are the best team by far in the UK guys.

The champions.

The bad news is you have maybe 71 games left.

So, so be patient.

Uh... Tomorrow, recovery, then day off.

and then we're going to prepare for the two games before international break.

Congratulations all!

Despite losing their talismanic midfielder, Rodri, to injury,

City have started the season business as usual.

Unbeaten in their first 13 games in all competitions.

The Carabao Cup may well be the least prestigious

of the four pieces of silverware on offer,

but this is a manager and these are players

whose appetite for success is forever insatiable.

You are here, Macca.

Move a little bit in your left side

that channel, right? Here.

Even you, because it's Bentancur, just Bentancur.

Sometimes he goes there

that is the moment that Phil [Foden] is alone.

Phil, you are here. They are narrow, they open, and you come.

Because we can always find that pass with you.

Gündogan. On it goes to McAtee and then Foden and then Nunes.

Good ball into the box.

But Spurs manage to just get a piece of it.

Here they come with Kulusevski. Long ball out to Werner.

Werner's in the box.

And Werner's put it past Ortega!

And Spurs lead!

Timo Werner!

Kulusevski works it well.

And then the shot comes in! 2-nil.

They've toppled the champions!

Pep, it's such a long time since your team lost.

Congratulations.

I don't like to lose, you know.

But, sometimes the opponents are better

so you have to accept it.

So... Have a lovely evening, good night.

The Blues are in the midst of a run of four straight away games

in 11 days in three different competitions.

Well, City have quite simply never lost to Bournemouth in their history.

Hug each other guys. Hug each other.

Hug each other.

Guys, there are moments during the season

it doesn't matter if it's the first, tenth, or twelfth

that define part of the season.

Today defines part of the season my friends

and do you know why?

Why?

It's fucking important you need to win.

I know you'll behave like who you are, an incredible team.

All of you.

Allez? Let's go!

Kluivert.

Christie.

Kerkez.

Foden goes with him.

Kerkez, the young Hungarian, does brilliantly well.

And Semenyo scores!

It's a ball for Evanilson!

I'll not point at a single person.

In defeats, I never never blame you guys. Never ever.

I know you want it.

But today, the performance was not enough.

Relax, clear your heads guys, take a shower and let's go.

We could not handle the intensity that they had

and that's why we lost the game.

- Thank you, Pep. - You're welcome.

Thank you.

Keep recording.

Uh, it's Gary Taphouse with Pep Guardiola for Sky Sports.

After defeat at Spurs in the Carabao Cup,

and Bournemouth in the Premiere League,

they arrive at the home of the Portuguese champions, Sporting Lisbon.

But we know that this team have the personality to overcome any adversity.

You've lost your last two games.

Is that just what can happen in an up and down season

or have you got deeper concerns?

It's a different competition.

I mean Jack, I know our standards, right?

I know our standards.

When you're going that way and that way? It's here.

When you’re going that way and that way? It’s here.

When you go and drive with the ball that way?

It's here, and after go, and after, try to make a movement.

And continue with the passes.

Just here, desire in your eyes. "I'm going to score."

"I'm going to score."

Being very deliberate, as always, Erling Haaland.

Composing himself.

Oh, he's hit the bar!

He's slammed it against the bar!

The City are in trouble. Will he get this one on target?

Can you believe it?

It's four goals for Sporting Lisbon.

It's absolute desolation for City.

On behalf of myself, I want to fight.

I don't know about you, but I want to fight.

Let's do it. Allez.

We're a bit in a dark place right now.

It is difficult to find reasons for what is happening.

I don't remember in seven and a half seasons,

this team losing three games in a row.

Normally people lose games, right?

Not you though?

Yeah, there is always a first time in life, you know?

Uh, it's not easy to swallow but it's an experience, and I'm here.

We'll see what happens.

Today is the day more than ever, more than I've ever seen.

Help each other out. With or without the ball.

Praise each other. I want to hear everyone out there.

Come on, let's go!

...amazing football fucking happen.

We put it right today. We have another game to put it right.

I don't give a shit about the result.

Of course I want to win.

We are not going to win, if we stop playing

because we want to defend a result.

Now in the last 10/15 minutes, they will go hard.

I love it.

I love it.

Because after we will see if you have the personality to do it.

Brighton are coming through the thirds here

and they've got real problems, City.

And O'Riley's through on goal and Brighton lead 2-1!

And City are staring down the barrel

of an unprecedented four defeats in a row

and the Blues, I'm afraid, are rocking.

Just say it. With no pressure on the ball, we can't stay high.

This is unprecedented moment.

Remember, this is a team who've won six titles in seven seasons.

It's a team that won The Treble 18 months ago.

Is it form? Is it confidence? Is it injuries?

Is it a-a perfect storm...

...an excuse, because there's a lot...

You take a player out like Rodri out of Man City's team,

they're gonna struggle...

I don't think that Rodri is the only problem at Man City.

A lot of those players aren't at the levels we've seen them...

- They are ageing. - They lost a bit of hunger.

They've lost direction, you can feel it.

I hate to use the word "decline", but...

You can feel it that it's getting away from them.

You've got to say they might have reached that summit

and now coming down the other side.

All these great sides come to an end, I mean.

And there's the rest of us, we're all looking for the signs

that an era is coming to an end.

I know.

I will take a picture?

Take a picture, or...

Breaking news, Pep Guardiola

has signed a new contract to stay as Manchester City manager.

- One, two... - Yeah.

...three.

Double tap and go...

As if you... It's like a mistake.

Like you don't mean to turn the camera around.

You've got this.

- Three, and now touch it? - Yeah.

Pep, firstly, congratulations on the contract.

It will take you to beyond a decade at Manchester City,

so why have you decided to stay?

So, I want to be honest.

I thought that "it should be the last one."

But with the problems we've had in the last month...

...I felt now is not the time to leave

I wouldn't let the club down, I would say.

Obviously you speak to the people above you

about signing the new contract.

How much do you have to speak to-to family? Does that factor in?

Yeah, important.

Important.

It's been over a month since City played at home,

where they haven't been beaten in two years.

We have the greatest manager, Pep Guardiola!

And surely the players and fans

will be energised by Pep's decision to extend his contract.

Three points, no matter what.

We fucking win together, we lose together and we'll get through this tough time.

- It's a fucking period. - We haven't lost in over two years, boys.

There's a reason why, cause it's so difficult to come here.

Time to stand up and be fucking counted, boys.

Five Premier Leagues.

One Champions League.

European [Super] Cup.

Maybe World Cup, maybe European national teams or whatever.

Is this success?

Is this success? No.

I want to tell you something guys.

Deep in your heart.

In our lives

succeeding in your job, in love, in work

and whatever

is getting up

again, and again, and again

when we fall.

This is success.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Getting up then.

City now on the edge of the area.

Haaland, can he get a shot away?

Oh, he does. It deflects out. Corner.

Man City have started this game explosively.

Pretty ordinary ball forward and Gvardiol should get to it,

Kulusevski gets to it.

Kulusevski clips it in and there's a chance.

Spurs first attempt in the match and Maddison's turned it in.

City have just lost the ball on the edge of their own area.

Maddison into Son, Son in the penalty area,

back to Maddison, Maddison makes it 2-nil

and Spurs have now doubled their advantage here.

Come on, boys, stay positive.

- Yeah, that's it, that's it. - We've done this before.

I don't know how we're gonna do it, but we've done it many times before.

Every touch, just fucking kick them.

Kick them. Stop doing this. Go through them.

Kick them and then pick them up after and say sorry.

You have to be strong guys

in your mind to try to keep going, keep going, keep going.

I know our people in this situation...

...it doesn't matter what they say.

They need one goal and they will come up.

You know that.

Our mood will come up.

But in the sad situations guys, don't get depressed.

Until the end I want to see my team fight.

Until the end.

Come on. Come on. Do it, eh? Do it.

They see you going, everyone follows. Yeah?

Solanke for Porro and it's three.

Timo Werner past Kyle Walker

and Johnson completes the rout.

Yes, a rout at the Etihad.

And given the venue and the hosts, it's a scarcely believable score line.

Fucking soft, guys, fucking soft.

In the beginning of the season, when we were top of the league.

Did you think we would be able to lose four games in a row?

Five games in a row?

No chance. Our team? No chance. Big personalities.

It's happened.

But now is the moment we have to see who we are.

In your family, when you have a problem

what do you do Dad? What do you do Mum?

You leave your kids alone?

Your Mum and Dad leave you alone when there's a problem?

I signed the contract because I want to stay here.

I will be there.

Allez.

You can't predict if your team is gonna go

on another long winning run, but is it gonna need that now?

To make a run of victories? No.

- In the League, maybe? - No.

It's just one.

You have to win one.

Life is like that.

I mean do you mean it is perfect?

You are wrong.

It's going to rain tomorrow.

Let's control the fucking game and win it.

Control the game, control the transitions.

Come on, let's go, boys. Let's fucking go. Energy.

Haaland, can he give City the lead?

Your answer is yes.

And there's as much relief as there is joy around the Etihad stadium.

In the build-up.

After, in the game.

Gundo come here, go Matheus, go there

arriving that many times

he's going to play it here, here, here, here.

Come back, okay?

I know you are desperate to add to that feeling.

The spaces are there, I promise you guys.

Yes? Allez.

City are coming forward with absolute devastation into the box

and Haaland slides it in for number three.

Game seemingly in the bag.

The run of defeats, surely, is over.

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Gvardiol...

Oh, it's not a great back pass.

And it might be a goal for Feyenoord. It is!

That was really poor from City.

The ball comes in deep, it's a header on the far

and then a side ball and it's over the line and 3-2.

City are hanging on here.

And there's a chance for an equaliser on the far post and it is 3-3!

And you cannot believe what you're watching.

City's season is unraveling before our very eyes.

Sorry to go off topic,

but you've got a cut and apparently some others?

Yeah, with my finger.

- Goodnight. - It'll be okay.

Anfield is bubbling with anticipation.

Liverpool are hoping to cement themselves as the new kings of the Premier League.

Defeat here would likely spell the end of any hope

Pep Guardiola's side had of being in the title race.

Come on! This is fucking it.

We know how good we are.

It doesn't matter, everything that happened.

Keep fucking going.

Keep your head. Keep your head. Everyone just keep playing.

Make sure we stick together out there. Show them that we are fucking together.

For the very first time, it is Arne Slot against Pep Guardiola.

Dias under pressure from Darwin Núñez,

Luis Díaz has been able to nip in.

Ortega, has he fouled him?

It's a penalty!

And it just feels as though we're watching the champions losing their crown.

Mo Salah finds the net!

And where exactly does the great Pep Guardiola go from here?

In that situation where Rúben comes to the ball

you have to feel

feel, feel

that if I lose the ball it's a goal.

And when the ball comes with Kyle

Kyle has to know that if you lose the ball it's a goal.

I react to someone.

You don't understand, Kyle.

No, mate, if you keep saying my name

- every meeting and every fucking thing... - Oh, shut up.

...then it's going to be impossible--

I said Josko.

I said the concept, Kyle.

Fuck sake.

Every fucking meeting, it's my name.

- Maybe because you're a captain. - Okay.

But you didn't want me to be a captain.

I will say to Marc, I will say Diego,

I said to Josko now. I said to Josko the name.

It's just to improve.

- If you wanna get over reactive-- - I've reacted to someone else.

Yeah, I lost the ball.

You-- you somehow bring my name into it.

But if you take personally Kyle, if you feel that.

I'm sorry it will be my defeat.

After nine years together and what we won?

In the good moments and bad moments?

This is my defeat.

Absolutely, more than anything else.

If I am a problem you have to tell me.

I won't stay here for the money or just for the fact of staying.

I want, I extended the contract because I want to be with you.

I want to fight in that position.

I don't want you to feel like I'm leaving, and running away from you.

I don't want.

I don't want to have the feeling that now

the pieces fall down.

And I feel "No, I want to help you."

But if you feel, captains first, then the other ones

that there is a problem? Tell me.

It's not going to change the love I have for all of you.

Not one second.

But I want to fight.

That's all. I'm sorry.

Great balls, we're good.

Come on, boys!

And the Palace fans screaming for a second yellow.

They're gonna get their wish.

City down to ten men.

Two points dropped again.

Make sure we fucking stick together, as they always say.

Good and bad moments, we stick together.

And Juventus lead, 2-nil.

And City are in a huge, huge hole.

Guys, I want to confess something.

I'm fucking divorced, from the most beautiful woman in your planet.

It's my wife. My ex-wife.

I love her unbelievably!

But we lost the passion.

For many reasons, we lost the passion.

I love her? Yeah, absolutely.

She loves me? Yeah.

But we lost the passion.

How do you play football?

Because you play, or because you have something inside!

Where is the passion?

In your life, whatever you are going to do

do it with passion.

I don't want good players. I want players with passion!

I want players with passion!

The Manchester Derby, the fiercest of rivalries.

It doesn't get any bigger than this.

Defeat is unthinkable for both of these teams today.

The four-in-a-row champions looking to re-establish the fear factor

that normally makes opposition teams cower.

De Bruyne whips it in, and it's a header in!

Joško Gvardiol!

City 1, United nil!

Okay.

Kyle, be careful of the yellow card, eh?

The second one.

Guys keep the emotion, because it's really good.

OK? An intention.

Kyle when the ball is high, I know he's there

try to fight the ball there.

You are strong in the air.

Clock ticks on.

Manchester United very much running out of time now.

Oh, that's a terrible ball.

Matheus Nunes! To Amad!

Down he goes in the penalty area!

And Manchester United getting dramatic late spot kick.

Manchester City minutes away from a badly, badly needed win.

Bruno Fernandes!

Levels up the Manchester Derby.

As the whole course of the afternoon changes in the blink of any eye.

This one has kept a sting in the tail until late on,

and it may get even better for Manchester United!

Amad!

From 1-nil down!

Manchester United have turned it around!

In the 90th minute!

It's too much.

- This is too much, guys. - Fuck.

Too much, guys.

Everyone of us... Everyone of us.

I'm the manager of these players, I'm the manager of this club

and I have to find a solution, and so far I didn't find it.

I'm not good enough.

You just feel like some of the things he's been saying

are almost a cry for help.

Is there a reason why Kyle Walker isn't in the squad?

Well, it's not easy for me to say because he should say, but he's not here.

So, two days ago,

Kyle asked to explore the options to play abroad at the end of his career.

And for that reason I preferred playing other players, whose mind is here.

And it's all the way through and in!

I just wanna know when there would come a point

when Pep would think, "I can't do any more."

Afternoon, guys. Hope you're well. Same process as ever.

The match aside. We'll set an embargo partway through for 10:30 this evening.

Uh, sound, please.

If you don't make the Champions League,

how concerning would that be?

We can make it.

You're confident?

Why should I think differently?

I'm incredibly sad. Sad, what happened with Kyle.

So sad.

It was so easy, fucking hell.

It was so easy for him to come to me: "I'm tired."

But you cannot behave as a captain the way he has done it.

You cannot, in the toughest moments in our lives.

What did you do my friends?

What did you do with your captain?

Tell me what did you do? Did you take him here and put him here?

And say "You are the captain representing us."

"I voted for you."

"We voted for you, we have to defend ourselves."

We have to say, "Here, I'm with you, and we're going to die together."

And now after the game in Paris.

I'm sorry [if] it's the old generation.

At the end in Paris, it's finished, my staff are eating.

We talk and eat.

I can't even drink.

After [losing] 4-2.

I don't have anything to eat or drink.

Eating hahahaha

laughing, and talking.

I don't like that.

When I lose I want to suffer.

I don't take pills to sleep,

I want to feel it.

I suffer.

Happy?

I'm not happy!

You?

You?

You sleep well? I don't sleep well. You?

You are fine?

Make me feel you are here, fucking hell.

Make me feel you are here.

Make me feel you want to win.

Make me feel that, let's go, this is a fucking good team.

This is a fucking good club.

Now you have to do more

because we're in the mess.

Our lives depend on winning my friends.

Oh, and a mistake by Khusanov.

And a chance for Madueke,

and a nightmare moment for the young man from Uzbekistan

within two minutes of pulling on a Manchester City shirt.

Kovačić. Plays a ball over the top.

The chase is on for Marmoush, but Sanchez gathers it in,

but that is what City are looking for.

Pep Guardiola marching up and down his technical area.

And it is Matheus Nunes, and he's got beyond Cucurella.

And he's got beyond Sanchez. And Gvardiol equalises!

City 1, Chelsea 1.

Make the movement first

the same we have done with Matheus

with that movement.

The incredible movement from Josko in that situation

and put the ball there, just chip it.

More chipping in there, because Erling is the most up front

it should be perfect here

and after, Erling can score a goal.

They are so high, and that way will kill them.

I promise you.

Kicks it long again up to Haaland.

Chalobah's behind him. Out comes the goalkeeper Sanchez.

Haaland can chip him, Haaland can chip him.

Haaland has chipped him!

Sanchez in no-man's-land.

Across comes Khusanov. Wins it well, and the City fans applaud.

De Bruyne flicks it on up towards Haaland.

Haaland plays it into the gap!

Foden onside, through the middle.

Foden... scores!

Game over.

There goes the final whistle.

City have overcome Chelsea despite falling behind early.

- Amigo. - Oh, fucking...

- I've been waiting for you. - Well done.

I've been waiting for you, yeah.

And it is a genuinely warm Spring afternoon.

Bournemouth been exceptional this season

and were the first team to beat City in the Premier League in 2024.

How much fucking fire have you got inside you?

Fucking big bollocks today. We've fucking been there, done it, won it.

And now Erling Haaland has the chance

to give City a one-goal lead.

Haaland steps up, and it's saved by Kepa.

Brooks is in the penalty area now, kicks it across.

It's a great cross and it's in!

And with Bournemouth's first genuine attempt of the match,

they're in front.

- Well done boys, well done. - Come on boys, come on. Come on, boys.

You have the game in your hands guys.

I have the feeling that you have it.

Believe it guys.

Huh? Big believers.

Don't think about the result or whatever happens

the consequences, I don't give a shit.

This is the team I like to see.

This is the team I like to see.

That fight, come backwards, and go the seconds, and win duels after.

You win all the duels, Matheus, well done, continue in that way.

We have the game, guys, in our hands.

- Come on let's go, let's go! - We can do it, boys, come on!

- Come on, boys. Come on! - Come, come, come.

Rúben, come. Go, Erling! Come! Come!

- Let's go. - Let's do it, boys, come on.

And they have opted to make a change

and Nico O'Reilly is now on.

And O'Reilly scampers down the middle.

O'Reilly keeps on coming. Lovely ball.

Haaland! City 1, Bournemouth 1.

O'Reilly's not been on the field very long.

He tees up Erling Haaland.

Reconnect with Foden, on it goes to Gündogan in central midfield.

Gündogan tried to find O'Reilly, got to it.

O'Reilly, lovely ball. Marmoush.

2 - 1 City.

And City having trailed, turn the match around.

Nico O'Reilly with two assists.

He's got a real problem, Erling Haaland.

Ow, ow, ow.

- Finished? - No...

We've played the 97.

Come on.

And that's the end of the game.

Erling.

Guys, about one second. About one second, guys.

Guys, I was right in the half time right?

In the half time I was right eh?

It's the lesson for the next 10 games that we have

because you make the last effort.

Now you are tired and exhausted. That is what I mean.

How many times have we finished exhausted or tired this season? Most of the time.

Complaining.

And we didn't come back, we didn't come back

but it's not late guys I told you.

Champions League guys is an incredible, incredible achievement

and we'll go for it guys, we'll go for it.

And our people around, they will be happy.

You made happy, 5 hours drive, all the people there guys.

You make happy.

For all of you guys, congratulations. I'm so happy for you guys.

Pep, congratulations. You got through in the end,

but that was a really hard game for you, wasn't it?

It was more harder for them.

The game we played here in November, we came here in flip-flops.

We came here for the holidays.

But, today

today we were a team.

We fought, you know. This is what had to happen.

City win the game! Matheus Nunes!

And Manchester City found a way.

Is that when you feel most alive?

When you're on the touchline watching?

Yeah, I think so.

I think so.

It comes from the joy, still.

The joy and the pleasure to see my team play good.

That is the motto and the target

I wake up in the morning every single day to do it.

That is it. Not anything else.

It's so addictive.

Older managers retire, then they want to come back and come back.

They cannot live without that.

Ah, how are you?

Whatever they want to say about this season, they can say it now.

So the reality is that we had some exceptionally negative performance,

like we've never had before.

We have 80 million at risk.

This machine is built to win.

This machine is built for success.

It doesn't work if we don't win.
