Another season of European football has wrapped up—some clubs went home to nurse their wounds, others popped the champagne. And then there’s Manchester City. While most players are busy chasing sunsets and Wi-Fi signals in remote getaways, City’s squad barely has time to breathe, let alone sip a fruity mocktail. The reigning English champions are charging straight into FIFA International Days and the revamped Club World Cup with the energy of a toddler on espresso.
Manchester City Stars Go Global (Because Why Not?)
While their club trophy cabinet starts resembling a museum exhibit, City’s players are now trying their luck on the international stage. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will unleash their Belgian brilliance on North Macedonia and Wales, probably confusing defenders and fans alike with their silky moves.
Meanwhile, Joško Gvardiol and Mateo Kovačić will test Gibraltar’s patience and give the Czech Republic a tactical headache. Kyle Walker, England’s speedster-turned-sentinel, will be back marshalling the defence against Andorra and Senegal, possibly clocking more miles than a budget airline.
Manchester City Muscles in the Nations League
Portugal’s poster boys—Bernardo Silva and Rúben Dias—have a date with Germany in the Nations League semi-final. Expect tactical wizardry, a few dramatic flops, and a decent chance of someone being sent off for passion.
Even Switzerland’s Manuel Akanji is clocking air miles with a friendly against Mexico. And let’s not forget Norway’s Erling Haaland, who may break the net (again) against Italy and Estonia, while Oscar Bobb tries to prove he’s more than just a cool name.
City’s Hidden Gems Take a Breather
Not everyone is packing a national team jersey. Ederson, Rodri, Phil Foden, and Stefan Ortega are enjoying some R&R—likely involving video games, protein shakes, and pretending not to check the group chat. Guardiola might still tap into the youth squad though, with Rico Lewis and James McAtee potentially featuring for England U-21 or staying behind for club duty.
So, while fans of Manchester City eagerly await the spectacle of international clashes and Club World Cup drama, one thing is certain—this team doesn’t just rest; they reload.
