Ruben Dias has returned to form at the same time as Manchester City this season.
Dias made life more difficult for himself by playing two games for Portugal at the World Cup even after picking up a hamstring injury, going above and beyond because of the competition. After sitting out the next six weeks of City's season, he has returned in style.
Since the centre-back came back from the injury that forced him out after the World Cup, Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten in 12 games including an eight-game winning streak that they carry into Tuesday's Champions League quarter with Bayern Munich. The manager has been delighted with the contribution of his defender, who has helped to tighten things up at the back and ignite City's charge in three competitions.
