Original subtitles

[Pep] In wintertime, it is tough for the mental and physical part,

but especially because everybody's on holidays

and you're working in tough conditions and wind.

We have three games a week until February,

so it's impossible, at the end you have to drop a point.

Now wintertime is coming, guys, wintertime is coming!

It's not about the physicality, it's preparing mentally.

Mentally being there.

[theme music playing]

[narrator] It's mid-December.

Manchester City have just beaten rivals, Manchester United.

But winter is here,

and with it, a gruelling stretch of Premier League matches.

With injuries starting to mount in defence,

Club Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has his eye on the upcoming transfer window.

-[laughter] -Nice colours, Txiki!

I knew it was...

In order to make this thing sustainable,

we have to take some risks somewhere, right?

So I'm advocating for taking a risk here.

And the risk is: three top central defenders,

Vincent Kompany, plus a young one.

and that has an impact in the budget, a significant impact

because we have on e more player.

Txiki, central defender, come on! What're we doing?

I told them about the price tag.

[narrator] City inquired about Southampton central defender

Virgil Van Dijk. But the price tag is proving an issue.

No, but they can't be serious. Come on.

Ultimately, if it makes sense for us, we'll do it. If it doesn’t make sense,

we're perfectly comfortable in walking away.

For me, that paradigm shift we've been able to achieve

over the years to get to this point,

you can actually do that.

To do that-- there's only a few clubs in the world that have reached that level.

So I spoke to Maxi yesterday about Stones.

So, Stones-- This weekend is week number four.

So there's no injury. He started running.

Before the end of the year, he might be able to play.

-OK. Vincent? -Vincent doesn't have any injury.

He feels pain. So the option for him to play would be possible.

-How nervous is Pep on this? -No.

He's OK?

If they say that one is absolute priority.

We solved the problem with central defenders.

Kompany with a new one, then he can use...

[narrator] City may not need the help yet.

-[cheering] -[commentator] Just glides the ball,

Otamendi, De Bruyne on.

-[crowd groaning] -Keeping it away, Roque Mesa.

Bernardo Silva looking for David Silva.

-He's hooked another one in! -[crowd cheering]

He's making a habit of this!

Sterling...

-And into the box! -[cheering]

And it's scooped over the goalkeeper!

[narrator] After an easy win over Swansea, their winning streak stands at 15 games,

delighting fans and feeding superstitions.

Where do they make these shoes?

-Johan Cruyff's shoes. Johann Cruyff. -I've never seen them.

The legend!

[Al Mubara] I know, but do they sell them on the market?

Yeah. That's why we win all of our games.

-Keep it. Keep wearing it. -[laughter]

And maybe win. Because of Johann.

Tell them why we do this.

We are doing this because we started to do it... versus Liverpool

-and then we won 20 games. -Every game we've done this!

This is luxury! This is living!

-And this is it. -Now a proper one. Again!

It's a 40 flat.

Yeah!

[rap music playing]

[narrator] Up next for City is Tottenham

but Guardiola's side will have to face Spurs without a key attacking player:

31-year-old David Silva.

[crowd cheering]

[narrator] "El Mago", The Magician, joined City in 2010

and has become a legend

for both club and country.

[commentator] David Silva's in supports!

Spain strike first!

[cheering]

[narrator] He recently signed a contract extension

that will keep him in blue until 2020.

Well done, David! Well done.

[narrator] But lately, Silva has been dealing with a difficult issue:

his son, Mateo, was born prematurely

and will need to be kept in hospital in Valencia for the foreseeable future.

He's strong. Family is the most important thing. Family, friends, you know.

He wants to be here, but sometimes he needs to go see his son. He's doing well.

And his wife. Hopefully he can solve it as soon as possible,

and his lovely kid grows and grows, comes back home

and he can stay with us all day.

All right lads.

-Nice to see you. -How are you?

Everybody's ready? Sergio! Let's go! Everybody stand up, guys!

Come on, guys.

When I say with three guys, when I say with three,

we are playing that way.

We start with four.

Maybe we start with four because I see some in the side, it doesn't matter.

When I speak with Nico, three go with Dinho.

Fabi on the side. We did it many times.

Man on the right, leave the middle.

The last one who will go-- Guys, pay attention all together.

Today you have to win for one reason.

We have to win for David Silva and his girlfriend Jessica.

He's fucking suffering with life.

When you go out there, you enjoy, you enjoy it for him.

And if you go out there and we suffer, suffer for him.

But remember the situation. Today I want a win for David Silva!

And his girlfriend and his family! Is that clear?

Yeah!

[narrator] City get off to a fast start and in the absence of El Mago,

Kevin De Bruyne creates some magic of his own.

[commentator] Kevin De Bruyne lashes at the ball.

-[cheering] -Smashes it into the net!

And he holds up the two and the one. Is that maybe a message for David Silva?

[crowd] ♪ Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! ♪

[commentator] Manchester City, two, Tottenham Hotspur, nil.

City looking good for win number 16 in a row.

There's Gündoğan, through to Sané! Sané through to Sterling!

-[cheering] -It's a tap-in.

And a City win is most definitely a shoe-in now.

City go marching on and extend that winning run in the Premier League.

[narrator] It's an emphatic win against another contender for the League title.

Beating the top teams last season was a major Achilles heel for City.

[indistinct cheering]

[narrator] With their 16th consecutive win, City now sits 14 points clear

at the top of the table.

[chanting and clapping] ♪ Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! ♪

♪ Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! ♪

♪ Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! ♪

[cheering]

What'd you think of Kevin today?

-Oh, what a dream! -It was just right!

Best game here.

Now he is the best midfielder in the world.

-He is the best midfielder in the world! -For sure.

When they change the line up and they're shaking hands at the beginning,

just give him Man of the Match there, so he can just put it in the dressing room.

It truly is unbelievable what we see every week out there.

I've been watching City for 43 years and I've never seen anything like it.

Never seen anything like it.

-Not finished! -[all whispering]

More, more, more.

I'm cautious from the perspective that we haven't done anything yet.

We've won the League twice. We've won, obviously, a couple of Cups.

But I think what we're on the brink of now is something a bit different.

But we haven't done it yet. There's still a long way to go. But you can see...

You can't tell me a team of Agüero, Silva, Yaya Touré, Kompany,

Joe Hart, isn't a quality team that won Leagues.

They won a League, but never back-to-back Leagues.

And like, with Guardiola--

If you want to question mark Barcelona, he had amazing players there.

Question mark Bayern Munich, they're the best team in the league.

He's come here and they weren't the best team when he came.

They weren't last year and all of a sudden now they're miles ahead

and playing within a style we haven't seen.

-But they'll do it. -I think he improved Bayern Munich.

Visually, when you watch them. I watched them a lot of times...

-Germans. -Oh yeah.

-[laughter] -[TV] ...but he didn't win.

[indistinct chattering]

[narrator] December is often a defining month in the Premier League.

With a packed Christmas season approaching,

Guardiola is determined to keep the pressure on his League leading side.

I don't think people really understand it.

Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day...

Normal people get to have it off and celebrate, but we're in training.

[whistle blow]

[commentator] Leicester City against Manchester City!

It goes to Gündoğan.

There's the cross. Bernardo Silva pokes in! City take the lead!

[narrator] Despite the hectic schedule, the City steamroller doesn't stop.

When we start higher, moving forward,

and go higher, higher and higher, everything is going well.

-Everything is going well. -[clapping]

-Man City! Is the camera upside down? -[laughter]

-[cheering] -[narrator] A 1-0 victory at Newcastle

two days after Christmas

takes City's streak to a staggering 18 consecutive League wins.

[man] Is this the best team you've ever seen?

Not the best team, I've ever seen it yet.

I would think they're playing

some of the best football Premier League has seen. Um...

You can't say they're the best team ever because they haven't got a trophy

in the cabinet book. They're playing some sparkling football,

some football I've not seen in the Premier League,

some of the best football I've seen in the League.

They're one hell of a side with a great manager.

Making history is right in front of our faces.

In our faces. You have to try and take it, guys.

This, what we are living, we are not living anymore in our lives.

It's impossible. My advice: don't drop it.

Keep it. Keep it like today. We're so dangerous. You did it well, guys.

[narrator] Guardiola also has a word of warning

about City's New Year's Eve opponent in just four days' time.

I want to invite here Carles Planchart. Carlos, where are you? Come here.

-[laughter] -Do you know him?

Yeah. That guy, and the other one, Domenec,

are the only guys, since I started as a manager in fourth division...

They were in all meetings... I did in my career.

He told me three or four days ago, and I trust him a lot,

"Wow, Crystal Palace." He told me that, and I trust him.

So Crystal Palace, guys, which is in only four days,

will be a really tough game for the way they play.

I started preparing the next game because I don't want to stop at 9th or with 18.

I want 19,

I want to Watford for 20, go to Anfield with 20 unbeaten and winning games.

So they are a top team of strikers. It at 12 in the day.

31st, everybody thinking in the afternoon,

we're going to party or something like that.

In Selhurst Park, you know Selhurst Park?

With Zaha, with Benteke, with Loftus-Cheek, with Townsend, with Cabaye.

Well-organized, in a good mood.

Tomorrow, it's my treat. Because you have to rest

in the evening with your families.

Switch on the TV and watch Crystal Palace vs Arsenal.

And start to think about it. OK, guys?

[narrator] Over the Christmas period, it seems like it's all football,

all the time.

But the relentless amount of games offers an opportunity

for some of the younger players to get on the pitch.

Making the most of his chance is 17-year-old local lad Phil Foden,

one of Man City's and England's brightest young stars.

[commentator] He's there again in the area. Here's the shot. Super goal!

That is an absolutely super goal from Phil Foden.

England have stretched into a two-goal lead

inside the first three minutes of the second half.

What a goal it is as well.

[narrator] Foden recently won the U-17 World Cup with England

and was named Player of the Tournament.

-[man] Who's that? -My sister.

[Pep] His mum is younger than me.

-How old are you? -[Pep] 41.

[Phil whistles]

-[whistles] -He's 17 years old, he's fantastic.

[narrator] But the awards didn't stop there.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year

for 2017 is England and Manchester City's World Cup winner, Phil Foden.

-[applause] -That's for you.

[narrator] Foden is a product of Man City's Academy.

An example of how important homegrown talent can be

to maintaining a top club.

We have a lot of talent in the Academy.

One of our targets, five or six years ago, is

to try to sign the best talent of the country.

A type of an environment which is...

highly challenging but highly supportive as well, I think.

To create an environment where the parents drop their players off

on an evening and they feel as though

it's a safe environment where they can learn,

where they're going to get an education second-to-none.

Football-wise, and off-pitch as well.

That's really important.

-[Wilcox] Why are you upset? -[Foden] I'm not. It's nothing.

-Then what's up with you? -I'm not upset. I'm fine.

-Frustrated? -I'm not frustrated.

Annoyed? You know, you should be! You should be! It's right to feel that way!

You should be. Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't affect what's on there.

[narrator] This season, Foden has made the giant leap to the first team.

But his run with the big boys took a nasty turn in only his second outing.

Just like, coming together, and he just cleaned me out.

Strong tackle and then he fell on my ankle to make things worse.

We have to remove all the blood and increase the movement a little bit but...

it's an early phase.

Trying to feel comfortable to reduce the pain and reduce the oedema.

We are looking for the proper solution for his problem.

[narrator] Foden's is the latest in a long line of injuries.

Eliaquim Mangala, Vincent Kompany and John Stones

are also struggling for fitness,

while Benjamin Mendy will spend months in rehab with a severe knee injury.

[Soriano] I think the case of Mendy's injury, it was bad luck.

How many injuries of this kind do you have in the Premier League every year?

It's a bit of bad luck

but you have to accept it. This is part of the game.

Obviously we were very disappointed when that happened.

But disappointment can last for 24 hours. We don't have more time.

Every day I keep taking one more step

and I wait.

-[man] When is he going to start running? -I mean...

we have to go from the surgeon, we have to go from the physios.

But there'll be certain criteria that he'll have to pass

that enables him to start that loading phase.

When they start running,

there's a lot more load going through the joints and tissues

and we have to make sure he's ready for that.

You have a lot of injuries, a lot of games,

a lot of competitions.

You're not just playing the Premier League.

You're playing four competitions.

So it's impossible to think that it's already done.

Even now, in this position in January, February,

it's impossible to think it's done. It's a lot of games to play.

[narrator] Every team must deal with injuries. But for Guardiola,

the biggest worry at the moment is complacency.

Try to focus on that, guys.

Tomorrow in the game, don't give away the chances.

You arrive late five, ten minutes. That's too late, guys.

And you know that, guys. We are close.

We are so close.

In two days, we have six points.

We are too close.

Boxes today, this gives us something over the opponent.

Our training sessions are short.

It's just here.

It's nothing here, no running... No, no. Just quality.

Boxes, five minutes, power in the... To keep strong.

Here's quality action, for five, three, four minutes, no more than that.

You have to move fast on this quality. Don't give anything to the opponent, guys.

[narrator] The Blues hold a 15-point advantage at the top of the table

and their record run of 18 consecutive League wins

is only one short of the European record held by Bayern Munich since 2014.

Bayern's manager at the time?

None other than Pep Guardiola.

I am still curious how we will react after our defeat.

We will fight to avoid that, but that is going to happen.

And I'm curious, how we will react. Me, the first one,

and the staff, and especially the players. But...

I trust them a lot, so I think we'll be able to react well.

[commentator] Manchester City take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League,

looking to win a 19th straight League fixture and to end 2017 in style.

I think they're going to play with five. If they play five with two strikers,

we'll play with three. But I think they're going to play in that way.

If you make them build up wide, they won't attack here.

But the sides are man-to-man. We don't have space.

You have to use the side to always finish with Dinho.

If Benteke goes with Dinho, finish with Dinho and Nico.

We have to win the ball, three against three.

-David, Gündoğan, Gabriel-- Shut up! -[bell rings]

Okay? The first men send the ball.

Control Zaha. And control Townsend. That is the game.

-[whistle] -[crowd cheering]

[narrator] Carles Planchart's previous warning

about Crystal Palace proved prophetic

as City's defence is tested from the start.

[commentator] Can he get Selhurst Park rocking?

Free kick in, headed away by De Bruyne. [mumbles]

Ederson! And Ederson had to make sure.

[narrator] City avoid conceding an early goal,

but lose yet another player to injury.

This time it's 20-year-old Gabriel Jesus, City's third leading goal scorer.

[commentator] Jesus has stayed down for Manchester City.

He twisted as he went down. That looks painful.

He twisted his knee as he went down.

Gabriel Jesus is in tears.

[narrator] Injuries are a part of football.

For young players at the start of their career,

they can be particularly upsetting.

[commentator] We come to the end of the first half.

0-0 between Palace and Manchester City.

[Pep] Are you tired? There are issues when you are tired.

It's simple, guys. Hang up and in two days we have another game.

Yesterday, our contender dropped points. And you have to increase them.

You have to take them because you never know what will happen in the future.

We have to take them.

But you have to be fresh and prepared for these four, five or six days.

When I go, I go and win the game. That's the point.

[crowd] ♪ Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! ♪

[commentator] Manchester City and Crystal Palace are back out at Selhurst Park.

[narrator] Without Jesus, City are having trouble finding the back of the net.

[crowd groans]

It's the first time City failed to score in a Premier League game this season.

Even worse, Raheem Sterling, the man who has scored so many late game-winners,

appears to give one away in the 90th minute.

[commentator] Wilfried Zaha. Man went over. It's a penalty to Crystal Palace!

[crowd cheering]

In stoppage time, they have the chance to inflict the first defeat of the season

on the League leaders Manchester City!

One of the most important kicks of his entire career.

And it wasn't in. The chance is gone! It was a dreadful, dreadful penalty!

And now Manchester City will counter in stoppage time.

Agüero feeds Sané. Sané's held back there by Kelly.

[narrator] Ederson saves the day and a point as the game ends 0-0.

But there is potentially bad news for midfield general Kevin De Bruyne.

[commentator] He clattered into Kevin De Bruyne.

That's an atrocious challenge.

-[crowd cheering] -Nil-nil in the final game of 2017.

[indistinct chattering]

I have no problem with taking a foul, but he just goes in hard.

[narrator] De Bruyne is lucky. The injury won't cause him to miss any games.

But City's record-winning streak has come to an end.

Of course I'm going to defend you 'till the end of our lives

in the press conference. But here I'm going to tell you the truth.

Come back to earth.

I don't need to tell you at halftime

what to do to play amazingly in the second half.

It's not time.

You didn't play last time to realise now that you have to do that every day.

Second one. Warm-up is to be ready to go to the second half. It's to be ready.

In the first four balls, you lost them all.

The first four! You lost them. When you were alone.

Warm-up, guys, is to be ready for absolutely everything, everything,

to go inside to help because in that period,

you believe only 11 players participate, forget about it.

The guys who are on the bench also play.

They go and help the people who are tired to do something special.

When you have players like you or like you,

the talent is so important in the last minute.

And what happened? Nothing.

Because these kind of games lay ahead.

I say, "Yeah, go inside, close to Sergio, there and there." Nobody was there.

I know your quality is there. I know you are a talented player.

But when you think about it, that's because we need it.

And you have to do it.

It's not about the physicality, it's about preparing mentally.

Mentally being there.

You have to be there ready for the game and to focus, to win the game.

Maybe you cannot believe me. Maybe you don't agree.

Maybe. I can accept that. If you hate me, hate me.

Some of you play better when you are angry with me.

Do it. You have to be friends, teammates. With me, it doesn't matter.

Now wintertime is coming, guys, wintertime is coming!

All of you who are not happy, you can go. So hate me if you want.

Hate me. Criticise me. No problem at all.

But when we are there and the referee starts the game, show me your value.

Every single training session. Every single game.

Today, I didn't see the desire to win again.

Today I didn't see it.

Then tell me why I didn't see it.

I love cleaning boots. Go on. Get a load of them, please.

Hot water, cold water.

Simple as that. Bit of elbow grease.

We have a special machine called the boot dryer.

All you have to do is put them on here. Hot air comes out of these holes.

And off you go.

These ones are the most important boots.

They've got magic in them 'cause they're my boots.

[narrator] Despite two points dropped at Crystal Palace,

City are still unbeaten in the League.

There's another game in 48 hours. No time to dwell.

Today is after-match, then pre-match. It's so strange today

because we played yesterday and we will play tomorrow,

so it's a strange day for us.

You know that in the Premier League, they love to play a lot of games.

Normally it takes 72 hours at least to properly recover from a game.

So you're asking them to do it in 48 hours.

They've really got to push nutrition hard, recover, sleep...

All the medical guys do the soft tissue work.

But the risk of injury and a slightly blunted performance does go up.

You can't avoid that, really.

But the other thing is mentally, we're always trying to be positive

and trying to say "We can do this",

we've got a great squad, and use each other, really.

I'm saying that is not normal. To play 31st and 2nd. So...

We accept it because the rules are the rules and TV is TV.

But we are going to kill the players.

Good afternoon. Today the starting team is start Ederson, Kyle, John, Nico,

Fabi, Dinho, Kevin, David,

Raj, Sergio and Leroy. That is the line-up to play today.

Domi's not going to show you the corners in-swinger, out-swinger.

I'm not going to show you if they play with four or with five in the back.

I'm not going to show you if the striker stays with the holding midfielder

because I'm going to announce something. With me and my staff,

you won the last five months.

I'm going to announce you as well that without me and without my staff

you are going to win again...

if you take responsibility. I am a dispensable guy.

I can be aside. What happens on the pitch is your responsibility.

The responsibility of reading if they play with four or five.

Or if they play in-singer, out-swinger.

How you have to attack, how you have to block.

Because in the last two months, especially the last month, when we play

nine weeks, nine games in one month, you know exactly what you have to do.

But there is another point I have to ask you. I have to demand you.

And that is the most important thing: the gap you have to achieve to be unbeatable.

So each player has their own shin pads. Some might've had them from an early age.

Then you've also got some special ones

with the carbon fibre. So like Delph has these ones that are made in Italy.

They're about 300 to 400 pounds.

Danilo, he came from Real Madrid so he's in the process of changing his shin pads.

Someone's had them from an early age, and if we ever lost them,

I think we'd be hung out to dry, as they say.

[commentator] So the new year starts at the Etihad Stadium.

Stones back right on cue from that hamstring injury.

[crowd chanting] Sergio!

Played down the left, Leroy Sané puts it across. It's an early Goal!

Just 38 seconds

into 2018, Raheem Sterling finds the net.

De Bruyne played a dangerous ball over which has fallen loose for Sergio Agüero.

He pokes it home from close range.

Jacob goes!

In that moment, guys, Kevin comes--

Sergio, no. Move to the side and make a diagonal movement here.

[narrator] City bounce back against Watford. And after two more wins,

Guardiola's thoughts turn to Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool.

When you've got to go two and two, Jacob, go with Yaya.

Normally your wing-back goes with Kevin.

On the other side, when Dinho comes with Yaya,

it's Gündo, Mangala and Fabi against Raj.

Like you come, and he comes, Fabi, go.

Because the wingers start coming inside a little bit.

When they jump, you go inside to Kevin and Gündo, to pick him up.

[narrator] Guardiola and Klopp know each other well from the German Bundesliga.

Klopp won two Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund.

In three seasons at Bayern Munich, Pep won the Bundesliga each year.

[commentator] Believe it!

I think there's not another team attacking with so many players

inside with this...

I learned a lot in Germany.

The first time I played against them in Super Cup,

I was new there so, wow, it was a good lesson for me.

[narrator] Earlier this season, Pep got the better of Klopp.

5-0 at the Etihad.

But this game's at Anfield, where City haven't won since 2003.

We win this fucking game, eh? Three points, eh?

[clapping and indistinct shouting]

Not three fucking less, three points, boys.

We went to Stamford Bridge, we won to Old Trafford,

we won every fucking duel, boys. That's why you win on this ground as well.

All through the pitch, communication!

-Come on! -[clapping]

Come on, guys.

[commentator] Manchester City face possibly

their toughest away trip of the season as they visit Anfield this afternoon.

The Blues haven't won here in the League for nearly 15 years.

[crowd chanting indistinctly]

[commentator] Turn now to Oxlade-Chamberlain

who gets past Fernandinho.

Shoots a goal! What a strike! What a strike from Oxlade-Chamberlain!

Scoring at Anfield! A brilliant effort!

Fabian Delph smarting somewhat.

[narrator] Fabian Delph,

who's been outstanding in place of the injured Mendy for most of the season,

now has an injury of his own.

[commentator] Bad news for Fabian Delph.

[beep]

Turning back to Walker, and Walker hits a cross.

Gomez chases after. Sané, brilliant control. Off his chest.

-Into the penalty area. Sané shoots! 1-1! -[cheering]

Brilliant, from Leroy Sané!

[narrator] The match is level at halftime,

but Liverpool's pressing and speed are causing problems for City's defence.

Try to work those passes, guys. Try to work those passes.

It's so complicated for Leroy and for Raj.

So when it's quick, it's "pum, pum", it's okay.

But it's pass-pass, then stop, put it here and go to the other side.

I know it's complicated without the ball because you feel they are fast players

but try to go high. Like when Sergio goes, Gündo goes, Kevin goes.

Repeat again the same situation.

When we control that, we will have the chance.

And after that, the people in front, courage to score a goal. Let's go, guys!

[narrator] Early in the second half, in a stretch of ten crazy minutes,

the game gets away from City.

[commentator] There's another mistake picked up by Salah,

on to Mané. Edge of the penalty area. Mané shoots, 3-1 for Liverpool!

-Fantastic finish by Sadio Mané! -[cheering]

What a goal! What a strike from Mané!

Kicks it down, chases it forward. Ah, the wrong part.

Was anticipated by Ederson.

Oh, my goodness, what a goal! Salah has scored from 45 yards!

[narrator] 4-1 down with only ten minutes left.

City's unbeaten season looks certain to end.

[commentator] Back at Gündoğan. This could be 4-2.

Ball breaks to Bernardo Silva and it is 4-2.

Go on!

[commentator] Agüero, Sané, and looking for Gündoğan who stabs home!

There's still hope for City!

4-3 with three minutes more of stoppage time remaining.

İlkay Gündoğan with the goal.

Go, go, go!

[commentator] At the end of a tiring game.

-[shouting] -Come on!

[commentator] There's a foul on Agüero.

City have a free kick.

-Come on! Come on! -Come on, Kevin!

[player in dressing room] Come on, here we go.

[commentator] It's the last roll of the dice for Manchester City.

-Swung in and headed wide! -[shouts of disappointment]

[commentator] Agüero into the side netting!

Just for a second, it looked as if it was in.

A bullet header from Agüero.

-[whistle] -[cheering]

[commentator] The referee blows the final whistle.

City's unbeaten run in the Premier League has come to an end.

[crowd singing indistinctly]

[narrator] Ten matches in a month is a lot to ask of any team

and winter is far from over.

Although there is a tough road ahead, the chance for four trophies remains.

You showed me again the character you have of not giving up until the end.

We'll learn that even in the bad moments,

when we we're 1-1, you were playing good and getting better.

And if we conceded one goal or two, we cannot fall down.

Because in Champions League and in knockout games like in Bristol

or FA Cup or this kind of situation, when it's two games,

always you have minutes, always we cannot lose our structure, what you have to do.

Sometimes we move more balls, it doesn't matter, control what you do to avoid

those five, ten minutes, because in big competitions

you are normally out of the competition.

After the first defeat, be a team.

All I ask you, guys, be together, find yourself. Be together more than ever.

After one defeat and a draw, the most important game is the next one.

Now tomorrow recovery and go two days off.

Go home, rest, forget football a little bit, guys.

Be a team, guys. Be a team. Football is like this.

Improve what we have done well here for the next games.

You still have a lot of marvellous things to fight for together this season.

I'm pretty sure we'll win the Premier League.

We're going to win the Premier League.

[narrator] Next time on All or Nothing: Manchester City.

[cheering]

[Pep] December, January, February. Three terrible months

when you are involved in the full competitions.

[commentator] He's taking them all on, Sané, scythed down.

[Pep] Please, protect the players.

That's all I ask from the referees around the world

especially in England. Protect the players, please.

One of the hardest positions to bring in for Pep is a central defender.

[man] We have a meeting at 1:30 p.m.

predicated on the fact that the payment is to be made by that time.

[commentator] It's going to be Walker with a first-time ball across!

...too big to drop two points in the last moment, you don't deserve.

If we play shit, we play shit.

You have to take that responsibility, guys, if you become a top team.

You have to score the fucking goals. We're done, accept that.

We are going to be up, I assure you. We are going to be up.

[commentator] Agüero, here comes Bernardo Silva

-who scoops that in! -[cheering]

Come on, boys, fucking aggressive!

[crowd cheering]
