Football Memories

A New City Takes Shape

With the arrival of Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2016, Manchester City changed its identity. It was the start of a football revolution in sky blue, where ball possession, movement, and pressing became key words. Results didn't come immediately, but the foundation was laid for something great – and even adversity was seen as part of the learning curve.

The First Steps Under Pep

Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva were the architects in midfield, while young Leroy Sané and Raheem Sterling found pace under Guardiola's tactical instructions. Sergio Agüero continued to deliver goals, and 17-year-old Gabriel Jesus arrived in January as a breath of fresh air up front. The team grew – and so did expectations.

New Ideas and Hard Lessons

The season offered both impressive victories and disappointing defeats. City finished 3rd in the Premier League and reached the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. It didn't result in titles, but the season was defining as the first chapter in Guardiola's project – and fans truly began to dream big.

The Jersey from the Year of Transformation

Nike's dark blue away kit with orange details was striking in both expression and symbolism. It represents a club in change – and a team built for future dominance. This children's size edition is a tribute to the beginning of something great.
