Pep Guardiola has never known a Manchester City dressing room as good as this as they prepare for another attempt at the Champions League.
The Blues have won three of the last four Premier League titles and are top of the table again, but they have never managed to claim the top European prize with last year's defeat in the final at Chelsea the closest they have come.
City accept that there will inevitably be an expectation on them to win their first Champions League - and Guardiola's first since 2011 - yet the manager is more interested in what he is seeing day-to-day in the squad.
