Guardiola best in class as Blues feature heavily in World XI team

Guardiola entered the competition as the overwhelming favourite to win the award after a sublime year. At the helm since 2016, the Catalonian enjoyed his best season to date at the Etihad Stadium during 2022/23.

Incredibly, City managed to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup as the Blues lifted a historic Treble which has only been matched in England by United.

The qualifying period ranged from December 19, 2022, and August 20, 2023, meaning a fourth trophy made it into Guardiola's impressive resume as City beat Sevilla on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup.
