Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he is "prouder than ever" of his squad. He praised their dramatic turnaround to become the Premier League's top-performing team in 2025.
City ended last season without a major trophy for the first time in years. However, their form this calendar year has been the best in the league. They have a higher points-per-game average than rivals Arsenal.
Guardiola highlighted the impact of players signed last January. He said they were key to the team's improvement.
The manager also issued a warning to other clubs. He stated that City will become even stronger when midfielder Rodri is fully fit again. Rodri is a crucial player who has been injured.
City begin the new year with an away match at Sunderland. They aim to continue their strong 2025 form.
