Guess who's back on top! 🎉 Manchester City soared to the Premier League summit this weekend, and they did it in style—without their usual superheroes on the pitch!
Our Spanish maestro, Rodri, finally got the break he'd been craving. After a whopping 66-game unbeaten streak for club and country, the midfield magician was due some chill time. 😌 The relentless schedule was starting to show, even on this seemingly invincible star.
Rodri had publicly expressed his need for a breather last Tuesday. But let's be real, Pep Guardiola doesn't usually let his spark plugs rest easy. Especially since the three league losses this season happened when Rodri was suspended. Talk about being essential! 💪
But miracles do happen! On Saturday, Guardiola granted rest to Rodri and five other key players. And guess what? The Citizens still crushed it with a smashing 5-1 victory over Luton. 🚀 Not bad for a team missing some of its Avengers, right?
This win couldn't have come at a better time. Sandwiched between two epic Champions League showdowns against Real Madrid, City needed to flex their squad depth—and they delivered big time. 🌟
The message is clear: With or without their top guns, Man City means business. Premier League rivals, you've been warned! ⚠️
