The Premier League club has risen to become one of the world's best teams and they dominated the Premier League, last season. They accumulated a whopping 100 points, Manchester United with 81 was their nearest competitor and that shows the domination they displayed. This was a great achievement, considering that Premier League is the most competitive league and that they were able to wipe out all other teams.

However, they have never been able to replicate their Premier League success in the Champions League and have always faltered. A couple of weeks back, they were stunned by Lyon, who defeated them 2-1. They will look to make a strong comeback and prove to everyone that they are capable of performing in the UCL.

They are generally known for their offensive style of play and it is obvious that they play with such a mentality. They have gotten forwards like Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane, to go with attacking midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Bernardo Silva. That is a huge list of attacking players and even their manager, Pep Guardiola likes to play an attacking brand of football.

They also have midfielders like Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Fernandinho. Their defense boasts of the likes of Benjamin Mendy, Kyle Walker and John Stones. With a goalkeeper like Ederson, they are one of the most balanced and complete teams in Europe.
