It would take a disaster of epic proportion to put a halt to the giddy optimism surrounding Manchester City this summer. It's hardly surprising.
When the best team in the country goes out and adds the most exciting, young striker on the planet to amend the one slight weakness in the side - how could you not be looking forward to the season to come?
As City supporters welcomed Erling Haaland to Manchester last week on a lovely summer day it felt like the sun was rising on a new, somehow even better, era at the Etihad.
It's not only Haaland, either. City have also brought in what looks to be the next great South American export in Julian Alvarez and have moved swiftly to replace departed captain Fernandinho with an England favourite in Kalvin Phillips.
