@FootynewsImagine walking into your biggest Derby clash with one player fewer and still coming out on top. That is exactly what happened when Enzo Maresca took charge for his first Manchester City match, securing a victory while playing with ten men. After Pep Guardiola left, the narrative shifted hard toward the end of success at this club, yet here we are. They sit second in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal, and they even secured a win in their UEFA Champions League debut. Everyone is talking about Mikel Arteta's Arsenal or Xabi Alonso's Chelsea, but the argument stays firmly with Maresca's Manchester City. The golden era has not ended yet.
