It's safe to say Pep Guardiola has done little wrong at Manchester City since arriving in 2016. He's won every trophy there is to win - and could add two more new cups to City's collection next season - and has another two years to cement his status as the world's best manager.
Where Guardiola leads, others follow, with the majority of English football now building from the back as Guardiola pioneered in Barcelona, developed in Munich, and perfected in Manchester.
If there was to be one criticism of Guardiola's time at City, however minor, it would be the long-term struggle to sign good full-backs.
Only Kyle Walker, who signed in Guardiola's second summer, has been an undeniable success among the six full-backs who have arrived since 2016.
