01x02 - 2. We have to take responsibility.

Post by bunniefuu »

-[pacing footsteps]

-[Pep] They kick, you kick more.

They run, you run more.

We have to take responsibility!

You have to feel it!

Otherwise, for nothing!

-[traffic rumbles]

-[siren wails]

-[bird singing]

-[players shouting in distance]

[Silva] I can't see what's happening.

Where's my good team?

We go out. No.

[imitating English accent]

Jumper. Sweater.

[Pep] Guys, welcome back to everyone.

We're going to talk a little bit

the way we have to make

a buildup against United.

[poignant music playing]

[Winter] To understand the rivalry between

Manchester United and Manchester City,

you have to be a historian.

[commentator] It's a dream day

for Manchester City.

The T-shirt says it all.

[Winter] You have to be a psychologist.

You have to be

probably a therapist as well

because it is absolutely ferocious.

You had that amazing period

of United dominance,

and then City,

who were a coming force since 2008,

have now taken over,

and City fans

have absolutely loved the fact

that while they've been winning trophies,

United have been trying

to pick themselves up

after the incredible era

they had under Alex Ferguson.

[music intensifies]

[Pep] In front of the opponents

we're going to face,

always expect the best quality.

There's no doubt about that.

[Haaland] It's a derby. It means a lot,

so you have to be ready for this game.

If the striker is here, you go there!

The stadium will be full,

and they will support us, behind us,

and of course

they know we're going to do our best.

I'm looking forward, anyway.

Out of shot, you'll see be able

to see the City

When you've got a team

like Manchester United,

with all their history and all their pride

and a new coach in Erik ten Hag,

it on so many levels,

it was going to be the derby of derbies.

[commentator] It is a special day.

There is nothing quite like

a Manchester derby.

[man] Come on, boys.

Come on, boys. Come on!

-[Carson] Be ruthless. Come on.

-Right, come here, guys. Close. Vale.

[players murmur]

[murmurs quieten to silence]

[crowd cheering, whistling]

[chanting] City! City! City! City!

[chanting fades to silence]

[Pep] Look at each other, guys.

Look at each other.

Look each other, guys.

Look your eyes.

Look each other.

[rhythmic tapping]

[Pep] Let's go?

Yeah? Yes or no?

[players] Yeah. Come on. Come on!

-[players shouting]

-[dynamic music playing]

[commentator 1] The players in the tunnel.

The atmosphere building.

I felt like we was fully focused

in that game,

and, from the second the whistle went,

we looked right at it,

and we put 'em under pressure

very early on.

[commentator 2] Quite a setting.

Quite a rivalry.

And a fiery couple of hours lies ahead.

[commentator 1] City are clicking

through the gears here.

The cross comes in from Bernardo.

Foden! 1-0!

Absolutely brilliant start!

Phil Foden. First goal against United,

and boy, is he enjoying it.

[fans singing]

[commentator 1] City's corner comes in.

Haaland off the line. Did it cross?

-[pundit] Goal.

-[commentator 1] Yes, it did. 2-0, City!

And Haaland's first chance in the game

inevitably goes into the net.

The goal machine is clicking again.

On it goes to De Bruyne.

City have men over here.

-De Bruyne. Haaland! 3-0.

-[cheering]

City is just playing at this level.

It was amazing.

[commentator 1] And so far,

United have not had a single attempt.

I think the game itself

should motivate you.

Everyone wants to win a derby.

[commentator 1] Haaland now,

up against Lindelof.

Plays it in. 4-0!

-[fans cheering]

-[commentator 1] 4-0!

Absolutely brilliant from City.

[Pep] 4-0. I cannot say it's bad,

but it's not perfect.

Against team Manchester United,

you have to drive more.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

[Pep exhales deeply]

You were brilliant, but I push you all

to be more perfect, guys.

I push you to be more perfect.

[dynamic music continues]

[commentator 1] De Bruyne skips forward,

onto Grealish.

Dalot in front of him.

Gomez on his overlap,

goes inside to De Bruyne.

Inside. Haaland! 5-1.

Hat trick, Erling Haaland.

[City fans singing]

Turns, keeps on going,

Haaland, on to Foden.

Foden! 6-1!

[Caldeira] I mean, Haaland,

three goals and two assists.

Foden, the local boy, the local supporter,

to do that in a derby

First hat trick against Man United,

at home as well,

I don't think

it gets much better than that, so

It definitely sticks out for one

of my best memories in a City shirt.

[interviewer] Who is gonna

take the match ball home?

I think Erling's won enough, an't he?

So I was like, "Erl, come on, mate.

Give me a match ball for once."

You know, "You're used to this."

You get it at nearly every game. [laughs]

-We'll get one each, no?

-I think we have to.

One ball for the first half,

one for the second.

[laughs] We, uh We got one ball each. Uh

Also for him,

what a crazy experience for him. Uh

As a As a Mancunian,

it must've been a crazy feeling for him,

uh but also for me, really special.

We smashed them at home, uh

and it was it was so nice.

I want to take a picture

all together, guys.

We have to celebrate that.

Guys, can you take my picture

on my phone, please?

-Guys, all together here.

-[players cheering]

City! City! City!

City! City! City!

City! City! City!

Bravo, guys!

[reporter] An incredible afternoon

at the Etihad.

The highest-scoring

Manchester derby of all time.

Phil Foden and Erling Haaland

both got hat tricks.

They're back to within a point

of Arsenal at the top of the table.

They're scary. They're scary to face.

[woman] Hi.

Hey, John!

[Silva mutters]

[Silva and Ines speak Spanish]

[sprightly music playing]

[Silva] This is John.

He was named after John Stones,

my big friend John Stones.

I think it suits him.

He's a beautiful boy. Intelligent.

[dog pants]

[indistinct chatter]

-Hello.

-[Ines] Oh my God. I can't believe it!

[producer] Why the name Charles,

and not maybe Kyle?

[laughs] Maybe Kyle.

Yeah, that would've been a good one,

to be fair.

No, Charles because, uh

he came from from Wales,

and Charles, yeah,

King Charles, so Charles, yeah.

-[woman] This is his paperwork for you.

-[Ines] Oh! He's your brother!

I was nervous because I didn't know

how my other dog John would react

'cause he's a bit jealous always.

[they chat in Spanish]

-[Rodri speaks Spanish]

-[Silva] Let's bring him inside.

[excited chatter]

-Hi!

-He looks so nervous.

[woman] This is your new best friend.

Yeah?

The first few days, I thought,

"What have I done?" They hate each other.

-[sprightly music continues]

-[dogs pant and yap]

The other, John would bite him

'cause of food.

The other one would be scared

and sleep under chairs

and under the couch.

And then for a few days I was thinking,

"I shouldn't have done this,"

and now they just love each other.

It's perfect.

So, yeah, it was tough the first days,

but now it's really good.

Let me say thank you.

Thank you for everything.

No problem.

-[Ines] He's gonna be so loved, really.

-[Silva] Don't get jealous, huh?

[commentator 1] The games

coming thick and fast.

Haaland's there again! Álvarez!

[commentator 2] Well, City,

impressive yet again.

[Pep] Southampton is

an important fixture for us.

[commentator 3] Cancelo. And still!

[commentator 4] And City will move

to the top of the Premier League table.

Another quite brilliant performance.

[man] Back pass.

[coach] If you don't do one,

you do five push-ups for me, okay?

[producer] This season, we seem

to have seen a really playful side of you,

if you don't mind me saying,

on the training pitch in particular.

No, I'm just enjoying it, to be honest.

[coach] You fly today.

[cheering and laughter]

[indistinct shouting]

The main thing is

that just, whenever you come in,

I enjoy it straightaway.

It's not just the team, it's the staff.

Every time when you may be a bit sad,

when you come back in the building,

straightaway you are happy

because, you know,

it's the football banter, the

the jokes,

the staff is so good with each other.

[players yelling]

[Gedra] You get a positive feeling

from this group.

You need to have this collective mindset,

on and off the pitch.

[in Spanish] Those moments of chatting,

of having fun and jokes.

Then when we have to work,

we work as well,

but that helps us

to have a good time here every day

and that's why it's great

to live in the world of City.

-[player] Oh, you're not handing Hey.

-Olé!

Even though I'm I'm probably

one of the quietest players

that we have on the squad, um

I think, from time to time,

it's it's nice to

to live these kind of moments.

Champions again, guys.

I'm enjoying being the captain,

I'm enjoying to be a Man City player,

you know, to be with this

with this group of lads.

[laughing] It was you? It was you?

-It wasn't me.

-Why you lyin', bro?

-It was John. [laughs]

-Aye! It was him, innit?

[producer] What's all the wrestling about?

[laughs]

I I D'you know what?

I don't even know what it was.

I think the one with Gündo was

we was just walkin' out one day,

and he looked tired,

and I was like, "You all right, Gündo?"

Morning, pal.

He's like, "A bit tired."

I went, "You need to wrestle.

Let's have a wrestle."

[laughter]

[laughter]

To be fair to him,

he was a bit stronger than I expected.

I thought, "Oh,

he's gonna be tapping out in a minute,"

but he had a little bit, to be fair.

[laughter, shouting]

[Gündoğan] Scott keeps asking me

before every training session now

if I want another wrestle, you know?

But it was a bit wet

and windy the last few weeks,

so I suggested that we will do it

when the weather is a bit better.

-I did well! You didn't expect it?

-Yeah, you're strong.

-Good warm-up, that.

-Yeah. Oh, I'm warm now!

There's some really tough times

that come within a season,

and from the outside, people think

well, because you have talent,

you'll achieve it,

but history shows

that there's so many clubs out there

where they have good players,

but they don't have that harmony

and the unity to go out

and be successful together.

But as far as Man City goes,

the players, the staff,

everybody's pulling in the same direction,

and they actually like each other,

which I promise you goes a long, long way.

[mellow music playing]

[metallic jingling]

The ice cream machine is here!

[commentator] Mahrez against Grabara.

And Grabara saves it!

City down to ten, Sergio Gomez sent off,

but Manchester City

have another clean sheet.

They stay unbeaten.

[music ends]

[players shouting in distance]

[Haaland] Nice ball!

I've gotta bring it in.

-Make sure you put it on Ben more than me.

-[Ben laughs]

-'Cause he loves the attention.

-Behave.

[Foden] Ben, talk us through

what you're doing today.

-Don't put me on the spot, Phil.

-Come on, talk us through it.

[producer] You're doing my job for me.

He's got an inflamed fat pad in his heel.

A bit sore and a bit angry,

but it's a lot better than what it was.

What time's your first commercial?

I think around one.

[Ben] Ronnie in, um nursery?

-[Foden] Yeah.

-I was half expecting him to come in.

-[Foden] Did you?

-Yeah. [laughs]

I think he might be coming in later

for a photo anyways.

-Is he?

-Yeah.

So who Is he signing or who is?

-[laughter]

-Sign here. Pen to paper.

It's him signing, no?

He's gonna be better than you!

I know, he will be.

Hopefully. That's the aim.

[reporter] Breaking news this hour,

and good news for Manchester City

as they prepare to go

to Anfield on Sunday,

live on Sky Sports,

because Phil Foden has signed

a contract extension

with the Premier League champions.

[Blackburn] He is a boyhood City fan,

and I think there's nothing fans like more

than seeing one of their own players

come through the academy to become a star.

I think he was awarded

not only because of his talent,

but also for his patience.

City fans will enjoy him

for a lot more years to come,

and you feel there's a lot more gears

he can go through.

He's got, uh He's got that much talent.

[indistinct chatter]

[Foden] Come on, Ronnie. Come on.

Come and get in now.

I know you've been dying to.

-Come round here to me.

-[woman] Come on, Ronnie.

[Foden] Come on, we're getting a photo.

Come on.

This way.

True.

[camera shutters clicking]

-[photographer] Got it.

-[laughter]

Are you seeing him waving?

[woman] Have you got a camera?

It's terrible.

[Foden] Hiya, mate. Do you want this?

[Rebecca] gonna get that

all down his T-shirt.

[Haaland] Ronnie.

[laughter and chatter]

Ronnie, let me see your watch. Come on.

[Foden] Go and show him.

Show Erl your watch.

Get up! No!

[woman] Close one.

[Foden] Look at that for a save.

Whose is that?

Sorry Ben, I had to use your napkin, lad.

[players shouting]

-Honestly, you deserve it.

-Thank you.

-I'm proud of you.

-Cheers.

Vale.

[player] Harder, Cole. Whiz it into him.

Any trip to Anfield

for any team is gonna be tough.

[Gedra] Whether Liverpool is at their best

or not,

it's just bigger than

what the table can show you.

-[music playing]

-[players shouting]

[Pep] Yes, now! Bravo, Kevin!

That is the ball.

That is the ball, guys.

You know they are high.

Let's put the ball to the runners.

[indistinct shouting]

[Maresca] We play many times.

This opponent,

we face more in the last years,

the rival to compete for all the titles,

and we just talk, talk, talk about us,

what we have to do.

[Pep] Guys, the last two games we played

against them were a shame. You know that.

Who remembers them?

It's already forgotten.

This game, tomorrow, will be forgotten.

Because winning is fine.

Winning games is fine,

but that's not the point.

The point is wanting to win the game.

This is the point.

The point is never give up.

This is the point.

And do it together. This is the point.

We don't win,

tomorrow it will be forgotten.

The plan? You know what is the plan.

But what happen out there,

you have to solve it.

Don't wait in the halftime.

Don't wait tomorrow.

When I see the game,

what you should do.

If you have a problem, solve it.

Because these stages deserve that.

The best of you.

Win, win, win, yeah. Wanting to win.

Wanting to win,

and I know from the first minute

when you're wanting to win.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] It is a fixture which has

grown into one of the great rivalries

in English football.

This is, has been, and will remain

one of the great challenges for the Blues.

[muffled crowd noise

and music from stadium]

[crowd singing grows louder]

[commentator 2] You write off Liverpool

at your peril,

and no one knows that better

than Pep Guardiola.

[commentator 1] If City can emerge here

from a packed and raucous Anfield,

this will be

a quite phenomenal statement of intent.

[commentator 2] There's De Bruyne,

Haaland just pulling away.

There he is! It's that combination.

[commentator 1] Oh, hang on.

The offside flag stays down.

Salah's through on goal here.

Mo Salah has put it wide!

You can't believe it.

It was a brilliant save.

Ederson's got his fingertips to it.

City might be in here!

Good save by Alisson.

Foden! And it's in! City have scored!

[fans cheering]

[interviewer] How do you feel

about the goal taken off of you?

[scoffs softly]

Uh

[Gary Neville] Now Pep's going mad.

[crowd booing]

[commentator 2] For City,

jubilation turning to big frustration.

-[crowd yelling]

-[whistle blows]

[commentator 1] It's gonna get ruled out.

It's gonna be 0-0.

Very disappointed, frustrating.

[commentator 1] Free kick

taken by De Bruyne.

It's deep, and Alisson just claims it.

And looks up

to try and get Liverpool forward.

A long, long goal kick,

and Salah's got away!

Salah's through on goal!

-And scores!

-[crowd cheering]

And Liverpool are in front,

and can you believe

the way in which it's come about?

[pundit] You talk about different ways

to win a game or to create opportunities.

Route-one football.

[commentator 1] Liverpool have ended

City's unbeaten start to the season.

[Pep] This is the way

I like my team to play.

You were brilliant.

They shout, you shout more.

They kick, you kick more.

They run, you run more.

We did everything,

in this stadium with this team.

You behaved like you behaved.

It's learning for the future.

When we train in games,

when we train that,

we have to take responsibility!

You have to feel it!

Otherwise, for nothing!

It's football.

How I can complain

about your performance, guys?

In this stadium everybody behaved.

In Community Shield, you play like this?

[thud]

'Ey, two days off, guys. Rest and peace.

And we see each other on Wednesday. Dale.

[Gary Neville] If you're Arsenal today,

if you're the teams in the league,

you recognize

that this is an important moment.

I think that we think

that this is probably one

of the only teams that could beat City.

They've done it.

We've seen a pretty special day today.

[electronic string chord plays]

[producer] The Yashin award.

What's it like to be considered

with all of the great goalkeepers

in the world?

-You're one of them.

-[chuckles]

So the Ballon d'Or is a bit of Hollywood

in the football season, isn't it?

The players go there,

there is a red carpet, they dress well.

Then you have those sought-after awards.

In Ederson,

it's very clear that Manchester City

have one of the best goalkeepers

in his generation.

[Blackburn] Ederson would probably

back himself to win the main award,

wouldn't he, as a footballer?

I think he likes to think of himself

as an outfield player

as well as a goalkeeper.

[in Portuguese] It is

an individual achievement,

but if it were not a collective work,

it would not be possible.

So enjoy tonight and have fun.

We are leaving in five minutes.

-[producer] You need me to help you?

-Yeah!

[producer] Ha-ha-ha! Love it!

Right, hang on.

[in Portuguese] That's a tough job for me.

[laughs]

[producer] Windsor.

That's what they call it, I think.

You're not used to wearing a tie?

-[quietly] No.

-[producer] No.

[Ederson] Yesterday, it's easy.

I keep calm,

focus on the game, concentrate.

It's confidence.

But today, it's not too much. [laughs]

[producer] Let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

[in Portuguese] Hey, handsome!

[upbeat music playing]

[muffled chatter and shouting]

[music fades]

[commentator 1] It's De Bruyne! Yes!

[cheering]

[commentator 2] Oh!

[commentator 1] Manchester City

defying belief.

[Neville] It's a mesmerizing finish

to this game, to this season.

-[fans cheering and singing]

-[Neville] Honestly.

[fans singing]

[applause]

[Didier Drogba] Ladies and gentlemen,

for Manchester City, the club of the year,

Mr. Ferran Soriano, general director,

Txiki Begiristain, technical director,

Ederson, the goalkeeper,

and the playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne.

[applause]

[De Bruyne] Good evening, everybody.

I think I've been there for eight years.

I've come to a family

who wants to play in a philosophy

of making people entertained

[De Bruyne yells]

and it's been exciting.

[Drogba] How important

is the Pep project in the club?

[Begiristain] He's just brilliant.

He's in constant evolution.

There is always something new.

[Soriano] From the ownership,

the chairman, the board,

our talented football director,

our amazing players, men and women,

and everybody that works at the club,

we have enjoyed the ride so far,

but we also know that the next game

is always the more challenging one.

[words echo, fade out]

-[birds singing]

-[players shouting]

[producer] Extra luggage today?

What's it called? What's it called?

"Work clever, not hard"?

[producer chuckles]

[indistinct shouting]

-Eighteen.

-Nineteen.

-Twenty.

-You said eighteen!

[cheering]

No, no. He don't do this. He goes

[Birmingham accent] "You're o-right?

You're o-right?"

-[Mancunian accent] "Y'ah-right?"

-"Y'ah-right?"

-You were here or away?

-Huh?

-Here or away?

-No. Here.

Here?

-[indistinct] in Manchester.

-I was gonna go Marbella.

You have to invite Jack to Marbella.

-He did.

-I did.

[indistinct]

[Haaland inhales]

-Zen. Zen.

-[they laugh]

[producer] Talk to me about

the bonsai tree.

[laughs]

[producer] Why did it appear?

Um

[meditative music playing]

[Stones] Erling wanted it.

He thought it'd be nice

for the physio room.

The bonsai loves humidity,

so I gotta bring it in the office

to get some humidity, innit?

[Stones] We used to give it

a steam room sometimes.

Erling's suggestion.

I'm kind of having

a bit of responsibility for the bonsai,

to wet it well,

give it the water it needs, feed it.

Bonsai plant food. [laughs]

Get the right light and everything.

Everyone kinda bought into it as well,

and it was in there, bit decorative.

Everyone took care of it.

And it became a thing where

if you came in and you'd not done it,

you'd be a bit angry with yourself.

You gotta water the bonsai.

Look at that.

The bonsai tree,

that's exactly where we get energy from.

We just drag the energy

out from the bonsai,

and brings it into the body.

It's a tree that brings us good luck,

so we joke a lot with that one.

-Zen. Zen.

-[they laugh]

[interviewer] You often say it's important

to see how your team reacts

after a defeat.

What have you seen

in training this week, and

I just focus about how good they are,

our opponent.

I was really impressed, the way

they played, so the past is the past.

It's already forgotten,

and of course we take the lesson,

on and off the pitch.

Liverpool is history.

You focus always in the past,

you'll lose the focus in the future,

in the present, the future,

and this is the first step to drop points.

[electronic music playing]

[shouting and cheering]

[Dias] Come on, boys. Come on, boys.

Back to winning ways. Come on!

[commentator] Ederson looking to release

that ball into Erling Haaland.

He's got it too. Erling Haaland!

[fans cheering]

It's Bernardo Silva

who goes down in the penalty area.

-Haaland!

-[fans cheering]

Normal service is resumed

for Manchester City.

Bernardo Silva keeps going.

Back out it goes to De Bruyne!

[fans cheering]

[music ends]

[interviewer] What was going

through your head when you scored?

You seemed to have so much time

at the top of the box.

[De Bruyne] I get the ball from Bernardo

and look through the options,

and I think, you know,

I was in quite some space,

so I tried the shot,

and yeah, it went in perfectly.

[interviewer] And can you tell us how

you got your black eye? It looks painful.

I think the day before, I had a, like

uh, a ball, and it, like, slit my eye,

and a couple of minutes later, I was like

couldn't really open my eye anymore.

I was like, "What's going on?"

and I look in the mirror after training,

it was like a full, full black eye.

So I thought it would be funny,

and I think I discussed it

with somebody at home,

and yeah, then I scored,

so I did it, and it was just funny.

[producer] It was described as

"Kevin De Bruyne's emo phase."

'Cause it looked like you had eyeliner on

at the time.

The bruise was that strange, but

I was going through a little phase,

you know. Don't judge me.

And in the final, I broke my nose

and my cheekbone.

-It didn't even look

-Nothing.

Nothing, and now it looks like this.

[Pep] First,

I wanna tell who I didn't tell

congratulation for qualification

for the last 16.

Second one is I wanna tell you that

that we have to fight

to finish first. Okay?

We can finish first,

and the second leg here in Etihad Stadium,

we are incredible strong, guys.

It's much, much better. Okay?

Play like you are.

I saw you in the warm-up.

I saw you there and strong there.

You are focused, and that's good.

I saw you because I see immediately

when you are ready or not ready.

I know you are ready.

[producer] Morning.

Who cares about the pictures?

Me. Me.

[De Bruyne] I know,

but you're a businessman.

[interviewer] You've played three games

against Borussia Dortmund

with Edin Terzić at the helm

in the last one and a half years,

and they have given you

quite a run for your money

in all of the three games.

[Pep] We have a lot of respect of them,

and we know

that we have to play in our best

to to beat them.

[table tennis ba*ls pinging]

[Mahrez] Corner.

-Oh!

-Come on! Come on!

-You watch it! You watched it.

-[laughter]

-You watched that.

-No, I didn't.

-[producer] That defied gravity!

-[Mahrez] I didn't see sh

Nathan is good, and Rodri.

That's the true word just behind them.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Four-one. Four.

Four. Like this. Four.

Don't make it like it was the final score.

Four-one! No, no, please.

You have the video. Now post it, please.

This is what the people has to realize.

That today, I'm the king.

-[Aké] Three games today.

-Four-one, my friend.

-[Mahrez] Still a champion.

-[Aké] Three games.

Bro, you're a liar.

You come here saying

that he only beat you once,

and he said he beat you four times.

[indistinct chatter]

[rhythmic clapping]

[all] Happy birthday dear İlkay ♪

Happy birthday to you ♪

[cheering and whistling]

I know I don't look it, but I am 32 today.

So the only wish I'd probably have

is to try to go

for this competition this year,

and really properly start this tomorrow.

Amor!

[whistling]

[crowd chanting]

[commentator] Well, this is

one of the great stadiums

in European football to watch a game.

City are here to face the yellow wall,

and they're here tonight free of pressure,

having secured a place in the last 16,

and know they will win the group

if they avoid defeat.

[audience chanting]

[interviewer] A lot of focus on Erling

before the game.

Can you just explain your thinking

behind not bringing him on

for the second half and replacing him?

[Pep] Three things.

Um I saw him so tired.

Second one, have a little bit

of influenza in his body, like João.

João played with fever.

And in the third, have a knock

in his foot, in his feet,

and that's why he was not able

to play the second half.

[Caldeira] There was a bit

of a question mark

regarding how many games

can Haaland play for City.

I think there had been

a little bit of a worry going into it

that he had played so many games.

He'd had an incredible start

to his City career,

scored scored so many goals.

It was, uh a very hectic period

and it was almost like

something had to give.

-[whistle blows]

-[commentator] And there it is.

And now the celebrations

will begin in Dortmund

because they've qualified for the last 16.

-[Grealish] Come on, lads.

-[applause]

Lads, next time,

can we get a ball just for Bernardo?

[player] Bravo! Bravo!

[indistinct chatter]

He wanted to attack.

He's not very good at maths.

I'm Bernardo.

"Jack, Jack, do you want it?"

"Nah, see you later."

Maybe 'cause I'm getting old,

my friends. Uh

Incredible proud for all of you.

So we have done it again.

One game left.

We're in the best 16 in Europe,

finishing first in the table.

You make a magnificent group stage, guys.

Top, all of you.

I said many times,

don't believe that because

we are Man City, this is for granted.

Don't believe it. Never ever.

We fought a lot to be here.

We have four days before Leicester, guys.

It's a final, guys, huh?

Congratulations, everyone.

[applause]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[player singing in background]

[in Spanish] It's cold, isn't it?

[Haaland grunts]

-[Silva] Ay-sh!

-[player] Where is this speaker?

Ah, Berni, don't come.

Berni, don't come. Oy!

It's deep, this one.

[indistinct chatter]

The water goes to Erling here.

It goes to me here.

[laughter]

[Silva whistles]

[commentator] City are now

at the King Power Stadium,

knowing a victory at Leicester

will see them hit

the Premier League summit.

[man] Come on, boys!

First ten minutes. Come on.

[energetic music playing]

[commentator] Coming forward again

with Grealish.

And he's fouled.

Free kick to City, sh**ting distance.

[crowd chanting]

-[commentator] Could this be the chance?

-[whistle blows]

[commentator] Kevin De Bruyne.

[fans cheering]

[interviewer] Your free kick

is one of the best free-kick goals

I've seen in the Premier League.

It looks even better

when they go in off the post.

[De Bruyne] You try to hit it

as clean as possible, you know.

You hope it goes in,

and when I saw the ball go in,

it's obviously really nice.

[commentator] It was

a very hard-fought victory,

but it is a victory nonetheless

for the Blues.

[chanting] City! City! City!

[music ends]

[exhales sharply] Winter is coming.

Time! Time!

[whistle blows]

[players shouting]

[over PA system] Manchester City!

[fans cheering]

[dramatic music in stadium]

[man] I know.

[indistinct chatter]

[Cancelo] My God!

Panda, panda.

Panda.

[producer] Who's best dressed at Man City?

Oh, good question.

I feel like it's, uh, internal battle

between players.

[electronic music playing]

I think, in my opinion,

I should be up there.

You know, it's not because

it's brands that it's good.

[Haaland] What? You don't like it?

-I just say it's not because

-It sounds a little bit, on your tone.

Kevin, I don't know

why he spoke to me because

his clothes are not good. [laughs]

-[De Bruyne] Me? Big fan.

-Thank you.

For me, in my head,

it doesn't make sense to make

a fashion sh**t coming into training.

I'm old.

I cannot wear what they wear.

I don't really care either.

I've got no time.

I need to wake up at 5:30 in the morning

with three kids going to school.

Please, get me something comfortable.

What is on top of the pile?

[Akanji] I'm trying to look good

and dress well.

I don't know if you remember

Deion Sanders, an NFL player,

he said, "If you look good, you feel good.

If you feel good, you play good."

"If you play good, they pay good."

That's what he used to say.

[De Bruyne] Go out,

I'll wear something nice,

but I don't have the time anymore.

I'm comfortable. I'm happy.

My wife is happy, I guess.

Well, she buys most of the stuff anyway,

so, um I'm good with that.

Guys. Central defender, fullback support,

fullback in the pocket.

Make five against five aggressive, guys.

And a lot of passes, guys.

A lot of passes. Right, left.

Use Gündo and Rico, Rico outside.

[commentator 1]

Several of City's fringe players

with a great chance to impress.

And the header is brilliant.

So well taken.

[commentator 2] Nobody picking him up.

[dramatic music playing]

[commentator 1] Álvarez. Oh, good ball.

Oh, what a finish! What a story!

-[fans cheering]

-[commentator 1] On his first start.

Rico Lewis is mobbed by his teammates.

Oh, that's a good ball. City are in here.

Oh, what a finish too. Squeezed it in.

This is Mahrez.

-[fans cheering]

-And that's three.

[whistle blows]

[Pep] Your left foot, that.

What did she finish there?

[indistinct chatter]

You were outstanding, all of you guys.

Well done.

Relax. Saturday again, guys.

[interviewer] Yesterday, the club put out

some footage of training,

and we saw Erling Haaland was taking part.

What do you have to consider when deciding

whether to include him this weekend?

[commentator 1] Gündoğan. Into the gap.

Lovely one. Álvarez, one on one. Scores!

Wonderful hit by Julián Álvarez!

Oh, and all of a sudden,

Wilson's in the gap.

[whistle blows]

[fans exclaim]

[commentator 2] It's a penalty!

And how things can change.

And it's a red card for João Cancelo.

[crowd booing and whistling]

[commentator 1] The referee

blows his whistle.

Pereira steps up and

fires the penalty into the net,

and Fulham are level at the Etihad,

and they're up against ten men, Andy.

[Andy] Yeah, and now we have game on.

Red card. Come on, ref.

-[woman] Not long.

-Come on, ref.

It's not fair, as well.

[Pep] This is the chance to do it,

okay, guys?

Now you were brilliant. Now we calm.

You have to start quicker, guys, huh?

[commentator 2] That was a bit of a sign

that Erling Haaland

will be making his way

onto the pitch shortly.

[dynamic music playing]

[commentator 1] With De Bruyne.

Plays it in.

[elongated] Haaland!

[fans cheering]

[pundit] Absolutely phenomenal

from De Bruyne.

It's just whether Haaland drifted offside.

[commentator 1] And offside.

Offside is the call.

[commentator 2] A nervy end to this game.

[pundit] Expecting five or six minutes

injury time,

so there's still a lot

of time left in this game

for City to go and find a winner.

[commentator 1] Cleared by Robinson.

Gathered in by De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's brought down! Penalty!

[fans cheering]

Haaland puts the ball on the spot.

You could not write this kind of script.

-[music intensifies]

-[crowd noise fades]

[music ends]

[interviewer] What went through your head

when you stepped up to take that penalty?

Ah, nervous.

One of the most nervous moments

in my life.

[commentator 1] Erling Haaland.

Can he win it for City?

Erling Haaland.

-[fans cheering]

-[music resumes]

Need I say more?

-[fans cheering wildly]

-[Pep whooping]

-Listen to the Etihad Stadium.

-[whistle blows]

[fans cheering]

Big win. Big win!

[Pep] How many years, guys, together?

The stadium was filled

with so much emotion.

I love you so much, but you guys

It's not for the victory itself,

you know that?

It's how we play. 70 minutes.

Ten against eleven, and

And I'm sorry, I want to tell you,

it might be one of my happiest days here.

This is the reason we are here,

the emotion.

We are not able to do these mistakes

to win the Champions. It's impossible.

It's impossible.

For the Champions, guys,

for the biggest stages, learn from that.

[man] Well done, lads.

[Onuoha] So City had a good start

to the season,

but so had Arsenal,

and between themselves,

they'd been fighting to see

who'd be number one in the league.

And heading into this international break,

or the World Cup break, as such,

City had a game against Brentford

where if they won, they would've been top.

Well, at least for a few hours anyway.

Guys, wings. Play with Erling.

Erling! You have to move in a lateral way.

Erling, go, inside. Jack, inside!

People were very confident

that City would pull a City,

and they would win that match.

[Pep] Yeah, Brentford.

Brentford thinks the same.

To finish in the best way as possible

before the World Cup break.

So it's no different than them.

[commentator] A very warm welcome

to the Etihad Stadium.

It still seems odd to say it,

but the Blues face their final match

for more than a month.

[man] Come here, guys. We're playing

against the best team, so be ready.

-They're gonna be intense.

-Come on, guys, come on!

Be ready, guys, ready. Come on.

[Foden] We spoke about it before the game,

going into the World Cup with a win

and having that peace of mind,

but unfortunately, it weren't meant to be.

[energetic music playing]

[Pep] We saw in the first action,

the first 50, 60 minutes,

they have two clear chances.

[commentator] It reaches Mbeumo,

and Toney,

and Ederson makes the save,

and again,

Ederson has to be at his brilliant best.

[Pep] In this process, the keeper,

two striker, we could not win any ball.

Toney flicked the ball.

He created problems

[commentator] the City penalty area.

Oh, it's in!

And Brentford have scored.

And Ivan Toney has put Brentford in front.

[Pep] Then we got the momentum.

We play better. We attack quicker.

[commentator] De Bruyne

will take the corner.

It goes through. Foden hits it! One all!

Absolutely brilliant finish

from Phil Foden.

[music fades]

I think,

knowing the importance of that game,

and coming away from that game

not with the result that we wanted,

yeah, difficult.

[music resumes]

[commentator] The ball comes in.

It's cleared.

City will get to it. No, they won't.

On the counter-attack comes Yoane Wissa.

City now backpedaling.

Three on two for Brentford.

Dasilva into the penalty area.

The ball is a good one,

tucked into the back of the net,

and Brentford have nicked it

right at the end.

A quite unbelievable performance.

[music ends]

I could see

disappointment in everyone's face

when we came in from losing.

It was like, we have to wait so long again

to play in a City shirt and make it right.

I think, as far as football goes,

as soon as you lose a game,

you wanna get back out there

to address some of the issues you've had

and get that winning feeling back.

Heading into this long period

for a World Cup,

there is a sense of almost being helpless

with the situation.

Backroom staff,

thank you for these two months and a half

we have done together,

and I wish you

all the best in the World Cup, guys.

Enjoy that moment.

Thank you for your efforts

so far until here. We continue.

Push each other, guys,

and I wish you all the best

in the World Cup. Okay?

Vale.

[muted applause]
