01x01 - 1. We are the same.

[bunniefuu]

[Pep Guardiola] Come up here, everyone.

All together, guys.

This is our memories, guys. Put it here.

And start again? No, we don't start again.

We are the same!

Lights, music, go.

[dramatic music playing]

-If we win the Treble, yeah

-[producer] Yeah

What you gonna do with that?

[Mark Pougatch] There is one Treble.

Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup.

I think we can go all the way.

[Natalie Gedra] It's a season that

we will be talking about for forever.

We have to take responsibility!

From the start, with them! Come on, boys!

[Pep] Otherwise for nothing!

This documentary

is gonna be the best ever.

She doesn't know her dad's Jack Grealish.

This is what the people have to realize,

that today I'm the king.

Are you alright, Günda?

You need to wrestle.

Expensive toes.

Just another day at the office.

[dramatic music intensifies]

[commentator] Absolutely brilliant

from City!

We won four

of the last five Premier Leagues,

and we're going to do it again.

[pundit 1] I mean,

are they unstoppable this evening?

[pundit 2] It's tough, the Premier League.

It's unforgiving.

You have to work and fight

for every single point you get.

[Dias] It's so easy to look far ahead,

and that's the one thing

that can get you k*lled.

-[drumbeat]

-[music ends]

[fans cheering]

[commentator] Salah's got away!

Salah's through on goal!

Scores!

[reporter] Are City title contenders

once again?

The questions were starting to be raised.

[commentator] Manchester City's lead

has been obliterated!

If we want to win this Premier League,

we have to grab it like this!

[Pep] Do you think it is normal,

what today we have done?

For the guys who travel to follow us,

to perform in this way?

[Haaland yells]

Wow.

[Gary Neville] They're in

a proper, proper title race here.

[Dias] If we focus on ourselves,

we can beat them all,

and we want to do it again,

and that's when we get big.

[intense music playing]

I want my warriors.

[commentator 1] If you come for the king,

you'd best not miss

[pundit 1] The biggest prize

in club football

is still the Champions League.

That was a little bit special.

[pundit 2] He's got to turn Man City

into a team that conquers Europe.

That has to happen.

[commentator 2] We're going to Istanbul!

One more next week.

You know, tomorrow,

we play for immortality.

[commentator 3] Will it be a Treble

or a seismic shock?

[Pep] It's once in a lifetime, guys.

This situation,

we are not going to live it again.

[music fades]

[birdsong]

[traffic rumbles]

[muffled voices]

[physio] Against you, I have my hand.

Up, up, up, up, up, up.

Good, good.

[reporter] They don't come

much bigger than this.

Erling Haaland is close to completing

his move to Manchester City.

[Rúben Dias] Oi, oi, oi!

[Martin Blackburn] It was a huge moment

because he was a striker

everybody in Europe was looking at.

His record of goals

was scary for the opponents.

Being able to take these big players out

from huge traditional clubs,

that's a big statement for City.

[Henry Winter] There was

a sentimental element.

City fans remember well his dad Alfie,

so hearing that name again, you know,

must have quickened the pulse.

Celebration was good?

[indistinct chatter]

You happy?

[Haaland] We won, of course!

[Dias] No, I'm thinking about

the next season already.

Yeah.

Of course. It should be good.

It's gonna be good.

It's gonna be a good time.

-We have to win the Champions League.

-[laughter]

[dramatic music playing]

[voices overlap]

[Haaland] Do you want a seat?

-[Dias] Don't worry.

-Are you tired?

You can go back and sleep in the bed.

[Dias] Oh, you've got a bed!

[music intensifies]

[reporter] This is a huge

statement of intent from Manchester City.

Twenty. Ten.

-[producer] Welcome to Manchester, Erling.

-[Erling] Thank you.

[Grealish] We can't lose,

otherwise you get smacked on the head

and I ain't doing it.

'Cause everyone tries to whack me.

[players shout in background]

Thank you. First day back.

[reporter] Premier League clubs now,

and many of them returning

to preseason training this week.

Good style, huh?

First day back for training.

That's good.

You've got glasses, man.

It's not even sunny.

Straight from Ibiza.

[lively music playing]

Let's win some Champions Leagues.

This year, keep it until we win,

and then you put it out.

And you say that was ten months ago.

[Rodri] This is like our second family.

You always miss the people

you spend 24 hours all the year.

That makes you connect more with the lads.

Bernardo!

It's always nice to come back, you know,

to what you know

and just that buzz, you know,

of getting fit,

getting ready for the new season.

[in Spanish] Every day we come

to training, and we are together.

-[players shout]

-[music continues]

Good shot. First touch. Bimba.

[coach shouts] Rebound!

[Ortega] I remember this training session

because it was unbelievable,

the quality in the sh**ting.

[whooping]

[reporter] Kalvin Phillips has joined

Manchester City on a six-year deal.

The first few days, it's like

it's kinda like a blur.

It's a move that, obviously,

I've been dreamin' about my whole life.

Come on, stop!

[coach] Rebound!

[player shouts] Yes!

[Grealish] Phil, nice pass.

[bleep]

[Foden] It caught the wind, bro.

[players shout in background]

Aah!

Somebody from Manchester City booked me.

They were on their preseason tour

on the way to the United States

and they needed someone

to put a bit of pep in their step,

for want of a better expression.

[chuckles]

[sprightly piano music]

Any doubts, just ask yourself,

what would Jan Mølby do?

Welcome to training camp.

You're a tremendous Nordic meat shield.

You have the poise of an apex predator,

but eyes of a kindly woodland creature.

It's a devastating combination.

Hello, sir. Welcome to training camp.

There he is, guy at the airport.

You have a fabulously symmetrical face.

-I have what?

-A fabulously symmetrical face.

I believe I delivered

the perfect greeting.

What followed was six seconds

of unbroken eye contact

between myself and Jack

where both of us

were equally as confused as the other.

I genuinely hadn't seen him,

so I was like, "Huh?"

"What's he going on about?"

I didn't know if he worked at the airport.

-Cheers.

-You're very welcome!

Did he say anything to you, that guy?

I thought it was, like, a shape or summat.

I didn't know if it was, like,

a shape or whatever

You see Pep,

and you feel like he's playing eight games

of simultaneous chess at the same time,

whilst also doing three lines of bingo.

There's a lot going on up there.

Welcome to training camp.

Sir, if I may be so bold?

I have a question.

-Yeah?

-Who's more the Pep-talker?

The pep-talker, or the pep-talker

who gives Pep a pep talk?

-[Pep] Pep, pep-talker.

-Shoulders back. Smash it.

The The The

The man has a mind

like a supercomputer, honestly.

He's never to be underestimated.

Put his shoulders back, walked on,

and, I don't know,

presumably had a wonderful training camp.

[reporter 1] Manchester City.

[reporter 2] I mean, EPL.

Back-to-back EPL championships.

Houston will be their base

for their US tour this year.

First match here in Houston

then they head to Lambeau Field

against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

We couldn't be more excited

champions, Manchester City.

[commentator] Kevin De Bruyne, goal!

[dynamic music playing]

[reporter] They are one of the true

global brands in the sport.

What we thinkin'?

[reporter] You're talkin' about

100 million followers on social media.

I mean, you're talkin' about

the best of the best.

[music ends]

[cheering]

[Grealish] Erling!

I told you!

That's why I'm here.

Exactly these ba*ls, that's why I'm here.

I said, "Get in there".

And he's got that big, long leg out!

[indistinct chatter]

[chatter fades]

[tense music playing]

Hey, hit the second ball long, low.

Come on! Stay there. You, Rodri

The Community Shield is a game

that most people that are not involved,

they say it doesn't matter,

but once you're there, you wanna win it.

[Nedum Onuoha] It's the curtain raiser.

City came up against Liverpool

who, over the last few years,

under Jürgen Klopp

had actually been their biggest rivals,

and only the season before

had potentially gone for their own Treble.

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[Walker] Start quick!

-[Grealish] Can I get a water?

-[Carson] We need to be talking Everyone!

[Dias] To win everything

we need to start winning now, 'ey?

[Pep] We compete against ourselves,

not Liverpool. You know that.

Anyone can play bad.

You have to try to play

as best as possible.

And don't forget, never,

we are the champions.

We're here because we won

the Premier League.

During 11 months,

you're going to defend the crown.

[whistle blows]

It was a tight game,

but we were not good enough.

I was not good enough.

[commentator] Haaland, oh!

He can't believe he's missed it.

[indistinct chatter]

In here, all together.

All right, just a few words, guys.

When I take a decision against you,

against you, against all of you,

for me, it's tough.

I don't want it,

but you have to respect it.

You gave everything, I know.

But it was not enough.

Fresh here, fresh here.

This week,

I'm gonna work on you a little bit more.

[energetic music playing]

[indistinct hollering]

[players shout]

[music ends]

[Pep] I love you! Go to the ball, guys!

Erling! Erling!

[Pep yelling] I love that!

He guide us! He guide us

when we are going to do the press.

[Caldeira] If you sign a super striker,

it doesn't mean

that it's going to click instantly.

It might never click. You never know.

Pep always made it clear

that they had to adapt to Haaland.

We got so used to seeing City

move around on the pitch,

linking with the attacking players

in a different way, and very unique,

and it was all very interesting.

Effectively, for two years

running up to Haaland arriving,

they hadn't really played with

a traditional center forward, if you like.

The goals were very much

more spread around the team,

but they still won the league,

so I suppose that's the genius of Pep,

that he finds a way of doing it.

[Gedra] Then Haaland arrives

and it becomes like,

okay, we need we need to adapt to him

to to get the best out for everyone.

[indistinct shouting]

[applause]

[Pep] Gündo! You are there, my friend!

I love you so much, Gündo.

We won the Premier League

because you were there!

And Kevin knows that you are there!

Yes! Yes!

[players all shout at once]

Bernardo Bernardiki! Rodri, Bernardiki!

[in Spanish] Bernardiki here!

I didn't I didn't remember that.

[in Spanish] Here Bernardiki, and goal!

And these moments with him,

these reactions in training, they're fun.

[Pep] Guys, I'm going to retire.

I'm going to retire!

I've seen my team play like I want. I

You won the Premier League.

I don't want to win anymore.

It's so good, guys. It's so good!

It's so good, guys!

Here, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, taka.

Tiki-taka. I love it, guys!

[commentator] So, the champions

begin their defense

against West Ham at the London Stadium.

[players shouting and cheering]

[commentator] Through a blur

of East End bubbles,

the time has come

to bring on the champions.

-[pulsing music playing]

-[crowd singing]

[commentator] Gündoğan, into the gap.

Haaland's looking for it!

Brought down, penalty kick!

Haaland's picked up the ball,

and he's placing it on the spot.

[Haaland] In the West Ham game

when the West Ham fans

started singing chants to me

about this and that, uh [inhales]

then it was just, uh even better

to score and do that celebration,

just relax a bit, and, uh

and yeah, just enjoy the moment.

[Pep] When it happened

and in that position,

the same for the penalty,

Erling moved well

between the central defenders.

Put that ball here, okay?

Here to here? No way.

Here, we can play.

Sometimes put that ball here,

when in the final third.

In the moment, we'll find it.

[commentator] Rodri comes forward.

Into the gap for De Bruyne.

Now City on the counter.

Haaland's through.

Chance to sink West Ham!

He never misses chances like that!

Welcome to Manchester, Erling Haaland,

you are gonna be a superstar!

[De Bruyne] I think we feel each other,

what we're like, and what we can do good,

and Erling did what he did

and made scoring seem easy.

Thank you!

-[staff] Morning.

-[Haaland] You all right?

[staff] Good, thanks.

[player] He got it for sure.

Hey!

[indistinct chatter]

[Grealish] Don,

the standard's unbelievable!

[laughter]

Tell you what, Walks

[players groan]

[coach] Come on!

[intense music playing]

[players shouting]

[reporter] We have got some breaking news.

Manchester City have agreed

an £11 million deal

with Anderlecht to sign Sergio Gomez.

[in Spanish] It's a little bit odd

for someone from Spain to support City,

but that's how it is.

You good? Yeah?

Good. Welcome. All the best.

[mellow music playing]

[interviewer] Back at the Etihad.

Good to be back in front of your own fans?

[Pep] Yeah, happy to be here

after a little bit more than three months

in our last game

when we won the Premier League.

Lights, music.

Go.

[fans whistling and cheering]

[cheering intensifies]

[Gündoğan] Believe it or not,

I didn't really get the chance

to watch it over again,

so it was actually nice, you know,

to remember that day.

It was a nice touch from the manager.

After the video,

everyone was so motivated.

-[Pep] Let's go, guys!

-[cheering]

[energetic music playing]

[commentator] Understandable.

Huge anticipation in the air.

[fans chanting] City, City!

Haaland on the turf. On he goes!

Gündoğan's through! 1-0, City.

De Bruyne keeps on going. Still De Bruyne!

2-0!

[Pep] Here it's five against five.

Here it's six against six.

It's behind the winger.

When we arrive, you make the runners,

and we can find them.

Receive here to attack here,

and after, make the action.

[commentator] City,

getting into the final third.

De Bruyne,

still with the chance of release. Foden!

[fans cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

[commentator 1]

Welcome to St. James's Park.

for Newcastle United

against Manchester City

in week three

of the Premier League season.

[commentator 2] So City arrive at

St. James's Park brimming with confidence

after a wonderful start

to the new campaign.

[Gündoğan] Listen, boys,

we had a decent start so far,

but we can do better.

We need to take the next step

and there's no better place

than taking it here in Newcastle.

They're gonna be aggressive,

they're gonna be well organized,

and they will believe

they can get something from us,

but we will prove them better.

Same intensity and same rhythm

like the last two games.

-Let's start strong and aggressive.

-[all] Come on!

[reporter] An ominous-looking City side.

The visitors today to a stadium,

to a club that,

in the long term, wants to challenge them.

[commentator] He's curled it across

to Gündoğan who brings it under control.

And an early blow taken by Newcastle

with the first goal they've conceded

this season scored by Ilkay Gündoğan.

Another good cross into the box,

and this time there's an equalizer.

Saint-Maximin.

It's Callum Wilson!

It's 2-1!

And a first half turnaround

from the new Newcastle United!

[Pep] In your head, you think

you're playing bad but you are not.

[commentator] Trippier going for it!

And how!

[Pep] I wanna see the character

that you have because you have it!

You have it.

You've proved it a million times.

You have to prove it again.

This must happen, guys.

Guys, this must happen.

[commentator] There's still a chance.

Haaland scores!

And City are back in the match!

De Bruyne and an opportunity,

and from a position of despair,

Manchester City are level.

[pundit 1] Some teams

can go the other way.

Man City carried on playing their game.

[pundit 2] The reaction of champions.

[Pep] You were brilliant.

You were in a tough opponent

in a tough stadium.

You react really well. Congratulations.

-[man] Well done, boys.

-[Pep] Well done, boys.

[Champions League anthem plays faintly]

[indistinct chatter]

[Blackburn] Guardiola

calls the Champions League

the most beautiful competition.

It's a very glamorous competition

in lots of ways.

-Thank you very much.

-[applause]

It's a pleasure to be here.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to Istanbul

for the UEFA Champions League

group-stage draw

You have the group stage

up until Christmas,

and then after Christmas,

at the start of the following year,

you have the knockout stage.

The Champions League

is basically the biggest stage

in the football-club world.

The biggest clubs in Europe

face each other.

City have had their share

of recent heartbreaks.

[emotional music playing]

[commentator] City trying to win

the Champions League for the first time.

[reporter 1] Manchester City's wait

for Champions League glory goes on.

-[music intensifies]

-[players shouting]

[commentator] It's the moment

Oh, he's done it!

-[fans cheering]

-Right at the death!

[cheering fades]

It's been disallowed.

[music intensifies]

It's Dembélé again.

And Manchester City cannot believe it!

Chelsea have won the Champions League!

Grealish! It's off the line!

[reporter 2] City had a two-goal advantage

with just seconds of the 90 minutes

remaining at the Bernabéu.

[commentator] Oh my word!

It's astonishing!

More Champions League heartbreak

for City and Pep Guardiola.

[music intensifies, ends]

[reporter 3] How will he lift himself

to go again next season?

The biggest prize of all

continues to elude Manchester City.

Let's go.

We go.

The draw for Champions League

was just huge.

Almost the nation stops,

let alone, you know, the dressing rooms

of those involved.

[indistinct chatter]

Manchester City FC.

[excited chatter]

[Winter] Football's just one big tapestry

with all these interwoven strands

of sort of history and emotion

sort of woven in there,

and Haaland must've known at some point

he'd be going back to Dortmund.

[indistinct chatter]

[host] Borussia Dortmund.

[indistinct chatter]

[Gündoğan] Why are you filming just him?

You know I played for Dortmund.

[Rodri] Ten years ago!

[producer] You turned to me,

and you thought I was only filming Erling,

and you said, "Hey,

I used to play for them as well."

-[Gündoğan laughs]

-[producer] You think I forgot?

No, you didn't,

but it was such a long time ago,

you didn't care. [laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

We got Dortmund, yeah. We got Dortmund.

[tense music playing]

[reporter] It's Crystal Palace

at the Etihad

and Palace invariably pose a problem

for Pep Guardiola's side.

They've lost only one

of their last four visits to the Etihad,

which, as Pep said, shows their quality.

[commentator] Crystal Palace once again

giving City problems.

Well, you just can't quite believe

what you're witnessing.

[fans singing]

It was a bad start of the game,

and the first half was horrible.

[Pep clicks fingers]

[Pep sighs]

When you're losing 2-0,

for example, I remember Aston Villa,

everyone is so disappointed.

[Pep] We're going to try, yeah?

Going to try?

Five minutes Three goals

in five minutes against Aston Villa.

And then Gündoğan scores the first one,

and everyone starts believing,

and the mood changes,

and everything changes.

In ten minutes you can change the game.

[dynamic music playing]

[crowd cheering]

[Silva] I think this team has proven

that we never give up

and we knew how tough it would be

to turn around that game,

to make a proper comeback.

[commentator] Manchester City

needed someone to step forward.

[Haaland] We got the energy back.

We kept on going and, uh

in the end, it was a really good game.

[Silva] When you score the first one,

the stadium becomes, uh

a chaos and a mess,

and most opponents, teams,

they start not defending that well

and we push them and push them,

and we create chances.

[commentator] And it's 2-2 at the Etihad!

[Silva] In previous seasons,

sometimes because of the way we played

with false nines and everything,

when we needed to play

with crosses inside the box,

we didn't have that main guy.

[commentator] Haaland is there!

[Silva] Now we have it.

And that game was more about

heart and energy rather than tactics.

[pundit 1] It's a sign of champions,

the way they came back in the second half.

They were fantastic.

[commentator] Haaland has his first

City match ball. It will not be his last.

[crowd cheering]

I don't know what to say.

It was an amazing feeling.

[pundit 2] Gündoğan breaks the lines

and then the movement, the finish!

I don't think I've had such a big smile

on my face in a long, long time

'cause I'm seeing a young man

who's living the dream.

Absolutely living the dream. I love it.

Yeah. We've got somebody really special.

[music intensifies, ends]

[staff applaud]

Look at that!

[cheering, laughter]

[staff] Assist of the year, that. Top!

No-look pass,

and there's no look on the pass.

[Stones] You can't coach it.

You can't coach it.

[staff] If Messi would've done that

You can't coach it now.

Yorkshire till we die!

[Jeff Stelling] 2-0 down at halftime,

came back and won by four goals to two.

Bit of a Jekyll and Hyde performance

from City in some respects.

[Clinton Morrison] Yeah.

Palace had a game plan,

and in the first half it worked.

The game plan was outstanding.

Scored from two set pieces.

Poor defending from City,

something Pep will not be happy about,

defending set pieces.

Attack the ball. This is set pieces.

You want more here, you want more there.

Talk with Carlos.

You have to be covered, go with him,

and we will adjust for you the cover.

If Kyle prefer here, we'll be here.

[lively music playing]

[players shout]

[player 1] Ball in!

[player 2] Out, out! Out, out! Out!

[indistinct shouting]

[reporter] Manchester City

have announced a signing,

the center back, Manuel Akanji

from Borussia Dortmund.

It was like, a couple of days

before the transfer window ended.

It was really crazy.

My wife was pregnant. Um

Two days after I signed, my son was born.

It was a crazy start.

Like, uh

Let me show you a picture. See this?

-Hopefully gonna win.

-[barber] Yeah.

So I wanna see how it is in the stadium.

-[barber] Haaland hat trick again?

-[Akanji] Yeah, maybe. I hope so.

[Pep] Finish the action, guys.

Concentrate, finish the action.

[indistinct chatter]

The home game next was Forest.

First-half hat trick.

[commentator] Foden clips it in.

Haaland! 1-0!

[fans cheering]

-[commentator] And Haaland makes it 2-0!

-[fans cheering]

[commentator] And Haaland! Number three!

[Carson] There's gonna be no ba*ls left!

[producer] Do you know

you are the first player

to have scored a hat trick

in consecutive halves of football?

Yeah, second half and first half. Yeah.

No, I didn't know. Now I know.

[commentator] The ball on the edge

of the Forest area. And João Cancelo!

Goodness me, what a goal that was.

And Álvarez is in! Five!

[in Spanish] It is always nice to score

your first League goal,

wherever it happens.

[commentator] And it comes to Álvarez!

Number six.

Two for Álvarez. A sweet, sweet finish.

[in Spanish] I believe it was

a great match for everyone on the team,

and personally,

to be able to score two goals.

[commentator] A terrific hit by Álvarez.

City lead 6-0.

[Pep] So incredible proud

because you played incredible.

You had incredible focus

on all the details.

And this is our rhythm.

We can do better? Yeah.

Put yourself against them,

and it will be a good season again.

Okay, guys? Congratulations.

[Haaland] Yeah. Amazing feeling again.

It's a bit unreal, uh

but I was so, so happy.

Another day

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter, chatter]

-[Haaland] What do you think, eh?

-[Noel Gallagher] Amazing. Amazing.

-Enjoy it?

-Good Oh!

-Yes. Well done. Great to meet you.

-[man 1] Hey. Nice one, man.

-[man 2] Enjoying it?

-[Haaland] Yeah.

-You gonna give us one of them every week?

-[Haaland laughs] Yeah.

You'll run out of ba*ls!

[tense music playing]

[reporter] Six British clubs involved

in the Champions League this week.

Manchester City, they play Sevilla.

[Akanji] To be honest,

it wasn't that hard for me to adapt

because I've always been a player

that liked to play from the back.

[Pep] Manu! Manu!

[player] Go, go, go, go!

[player] Yes! Yes! Do it!

[reporter] Akanji, very comfy on the ball.

I just wonder if Guardiola looks

at that ability to retain possession.

It's really demanding,

not just for the center backs,

for all the positions

that we have on the pitch.

[players shouting]

[Akanji] I knew the stadium,

the surroundings,

so at the beginning,

I was a little bit nervous,

but as soon as you get into the game,

you forget about these things

and you're in the moment

and try to do your best.

[commentator] Manchester City setting off

on another Champions League journey,

wondering if this is the year.

Gomez, Isco, as a team to play.

For sure. They will drop.

Quality. A lot of quality in the box.

That's why the central defenders

are high pressing and go there.

They are not going to attack Phil.

[commentator] Foden, lovely ball.

De Bruyne! And there he is again!

Erling Haaland!

Cancelo. Foden again.

Working onto that left foot.

There's the shot! There's the goal! 2-0.

Foden again.

Could be another chance here.

Haaland,

he's going to score again, you know!

Two for him, three for Manchester City.

In total control,

and they have been most of the way.

Cancelo! And there is the goal.

Ruben Dias. 4-0 to Manchester City.

[Akanji] I wasn't sure

if I can go for the full game,

but I felt really good,

we played a good game.

[intense music playing]

-[music fades]

-[birds squawking]

[player] Yep. Go!

[pundit] Dortmund will be

their toughest test, but even that game,

City will look at that

and fancy theirself.

If they play the way they have,

they shouldn't have any problem.

[Carson] Oh, you little Through my legs.

I don't fancy people sh**ting

while we're here.

[players shouting]

They shouldn't be hitting me

with their quality, should they?

[Grealish] Erling,

you ain't taking it like that.

[Haaland] No, I don't, but I could though.

[players shouting]

Go, Cole! Go, Cole!

Yes, Jack. I love that!

Get in, get in!

I love that, Jack!

[mellow music playing]

Yeah, it was special. I still have

a lot of good feelings for Dortmund.

I played there two and a half years

and had an amazing time.

I had a great connection

with so many people in the club.

[commentator] Both teams won

on opening night.

City in Seville and Dortmund

at home to FC Copenhagen,

so both groups of players

are confident and focused here.

Now that's an interesting ball.

Özcan plays it on. Marco Reus might be in.

Still going here!

Couldn't hit the target. What a chance.

[fans chanting]

[commentator] Cleared as far

as Marco Reus. It's deflected and in!

It's Jude Bellingham!

Marco Reus's delivery

and the delicate touch

from Jude Bellingham!

Kevin De Bruyne

Haaland looking to get in

behind them for the first time!

Tight angle.

Too tight, even for him.

Stones for Manchester City. Oh yes!

[fans cheering]

[commentator] What a goal!

It's an absolute wonder strike

from John Stones.

Where on Earth did he find that from?

Manchester City one,

Borussia Dortmund one.

[Stones] As soon as I hit it,

I knew I hit it well.

I seemed to hit it quite hard,

which surprised myself, to be fair.

Really satisfying and important goal.

Something I'm proud of.

Scoring in the Champions League,

and not a bad one.

I saw João, and I saw

he wanted to do the outside, uh

I saw how he had the ball,

and I was ready, and he knew I was there.

[commentator] What a ball that is

by Cancelo!

In it goes! Erling Haaland!

Wonderful!

Sometimes you cannot believe your eyes!

Oh my God, this kid's sensational!

[host] I don't know what's happened

at the Etihad.

You cannot keep this guy

out of the headlines.

-You can't keep Clinton quiet either.

-[Clinton] Unbelievable finish

Yeah, when you look back now,

or when you see the goal

You have to show the goal when I say this

because the goal was just so good goal,

and it's one of my most beautiful goals

I ever scored in my life.

It was such a good goal.

I remember a long, long time ago

in Barcelona,

Johan Cruyff

scored one quite similar goal.

I remember him immediately when he scored.

[Onuoha] The finish from Haaland

was absolutely incredible.

I would say

only he can do that in this generation.

[Winter] There was something so fitting

that Haaland should score

against Dortmund,

and then, in the great tradition

of Pep's mentor, Johan Cruyff.

It was a perfect moment.

[indistinct chatter]

Seriously, where the

did that come from from Stonesy?

I've never seen him

even hit one like that in training.

[Rodri] Stones!

What a shot.

-That'll be my entrance.

-[player] Johnny boy!

[indistinct chatter]

[Pep] We cannot go at one rhythm.

Our rhythm is a full gas on everything.

It doesn't matter what happen.

You feel safe in that way.

And after that,

John made an incredible goal.

Erling made an incredible goal.

But you have to demand yourself, guys.

I don't have to push you guys.

It's Champions League.

When the momentum arrives,

push, push, and push.

You have to do it for yourself.

You are too good, guys. You are too good.

It's unacceptable,

the way you performed today.

[Pep grunts sluggishly]

You know it, you saw it, you feel it.

Want it better and better and better.

Not for me. For you. For me, no.

I know your capacities,

but I need the best of you.

You are so good.

I don't want to see you like that.

I don't wanna see you.

[grunting]

I'm so happy. [mutters]

[applause]

[Al Mubarak] That's one of

the great features of this group.

It's a humble group.

It's competitive, of course,

but there is respect,

humbleness, partnership, friendship,

love, uh passion, and and that's

when that all comes together,

you see the magic.

[Akanji] When you look outside,

it looks nice with the blue sky.

-No, bro, but it's not.

-[Akanji] It's not.

Winter's coming now, innit?

[coach] Three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten.

[player] Go. Four.

It's an absolute embarrassment.

Firstly, I'd like to say

that ours is the best box.

Five, six, seven.

[energetic music playing]

[players shouting]

[Foden] Erl says, to be fair,

it's not his game.

I've never seen a team

so obsessed with football in my life.

They're always trying to put,

like, games like this.

Make it more fun.

Training sessions where it's a bit loose,

a bit less serious,

it's, uh really important.

[player] Eleven. Twelve.

[Dias] Me and Gündo,

we've created this beautiful community

[laughs] with the youngsters.

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

There's not much arguing,

you know, in between the players.

If someone does a mistake,

you know, he takes it,

and you can give the young players

also a little bit of stick,

you know, sometimes.

[indistinct chatter]

[Stones growls]

I look to my left, see the other box.

I see them all the time

shouting and arguing with each other,

who's going inside.

"No, you have to go."

"No, you have to go."

[players shouting]

Why are you holding the ball so long for,

man?

Why shout at me

when Jack does it every time?

[player] Two, three.

[laughter]

-What a day!

-What a day.

[player speaking Spanish]

[players shouting]

[crowd singing]

[dynamic music playing]

[reporter] We start with the champions

this afternoon.

Manchester City

are just a point behind Arsenal

as they prepare for a trip to Wolves.

[interviewer] A lot of encouraging words

from you about Grealish.

That'll give him a boost.

Lotta headlines about him.

[Pep] We see him every day.

How he behave in the training

and on and off the pitch,

and he's an exceptional player,

so now the chance to help us win.

[Grealish] I played in midweek

against someone,

and, yeah, I didn't play well in it.

I was getting

a fair bit of stick and stuff,

and then obviously going to Wolves

and it being on TV,

and I was just like,

I know I'm gonna be getting booed, like.

This game's on TV.

I was like, "I need to, like, perform."

[music continues]

[commentator] De Bruyne on the overlap.

Great ball in!

It's a great start for Manchester City.

[Grealish] To score so quick was just

It was just a perfect start, man.

[Pep] I liked it. I like it to

little bit more aggressive.

[commentator] Bearing down on goal.

Haaland!

[cheering]

[Pep] We change a little bit the gear,

we can create a lot of chances,

and then you are able to score.

[interviewer] I saw your clap

to the Wolves fans as you came off.

[interviewer laughs]

Like you said before, they love me here,

so I just give 'em

a little clap to say thank you.

I'm surprised I ain't getting booed now.

[tense music playing]

[Pep] We are going to talk a little bit

the way to make a buildup against United.

[commentator] There is nothing

quite like a Manchester derby.

It's two City hat tricks!

You were brilliant,

but I push you to be more perfect.

Salah's through on goal!

[music fades]

[music intensifies]

[Pep] We went for that!

-[cheering]

-[woman] Oh no!

-Y'ah-right?

-Y'alright?

We have to take responsibility!

Otherwise for nothing!
