🔵💰 18 YEARS AGO TODAY…

Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group completed the £200m takeover of Manchester City.

And the rest is HISTORY. 🤯

Since then, City have gone from ambitious Premier League club to one of the most successful teams in world football.

🏆 8 Premier League titles
🏆 3 FA Cups
🏆 6 League Cups
🏆 3 Community Shields
🏆 1 Champions League
🏆 1 UEFA Super Cup
🏆 1 Club World Cup

And, of course, the TREBLE in 2023. 🏆🏆🏆

From a £200m club to a £4.1 BILLION footballing giant. What a transformation. 🔵💰

Man City are on a 𝟏𝟐-𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 unbeaten run away at Palace in the Premier League 🤯

There’s no stopping the Citizens at Selhurst Park 💪🩵

If the Premier League becomes another two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal, as it was last season, I believe small margins will decide the title. For me, Rayan Cherki and Martin Ødegaard could be instrumental to their teams’ chances.

At Manchester City, I see Cherki as a player who can add another creative dimension under Enzo Maresca. His ability to find space, carry the ball and create chances could be crucial in tight games. After his impressive start to the season, I can already see why he could become one of City’s most important players.

For Arsenal, I see Ødegaard as equally important. His vision, passing and ability to control the tempo make him central to how Arsenal attack. If injuries don’t affect him and he can maintain his fitness, I believe he could have a huge influence on Arsenal’s title challenge.

That is why I will be watching both players closely if the title race comes down to City and Arsenal again. Cherki could provide City with the spark they need under Maresca, while Ødegaard could give Arsenal the control and creativity they rely on. In such a tight race, I believe either player could ultimately make the difference.

🚨 𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗚𝗔𝗞𝗣𝗢 to Manchester City - 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗢 𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗡 🔜⏳🩵

Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez reunited in tonight's game between Tottenham and Newcastle, both look so happy to see each other again and getting a game time for their new clubs.

Personally, I'm glad to see Nico Gonzalez smile again after suffering from "no game time" at Manchester City under both Pep Guardiola and Enzo Maresca. Now in Newcastle, he can explore his wit and become important than he was at City.

Omar Marmoush on the other hand, had a really decent game today, but unfortunately Tottenham lost at home, and it must've been a disappointing debut for him on the grounds of the result, but it is also a step in the right direction for him to find his ground and start scoring goals to help Spurs.

Teammates last week, opponents this week, that is the story of Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez, and I very much wish them Good luck in their new clubs. Only, for today, the joke is on Tottenham and Newcastle are smiling😁
