In 10 years time when football fans look back at the great Manchester City side of Pep Guardiola, a number of players will stand out as the best of a generation.
The likes of Sergio Aguero, Kevin de Bruyne, Ederson, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling - among others - have all embodied the brilliance associated with Guardiola sides.

Ilkay Gundogan was Guardiola's first signing upon becoming City boss in 2016, and after a first season disrupted by serious injury has enjoyed a fine career in sky blue. However, with his current City contract set to expire in June 2023, his future in Manchester is uncertain.
