There are two ways of looking at this, really.

If you just look at it in terms of trophies, it's remarkable.

20 trophies over the course of a decade.

Manchester City winning their first ever treble.

That's the FA Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League in the 2022-23 season.

So that in itself is remarkable.

But I think Guardiola goes beyond just weighing it in silver.

It's about style as well.

Guardiola's style of play means possessing the ball, being comfortable with the ball.

And that applies to all the players, even the goalkeeper.

And that style of football has gone beyond just Manchester City.

It's become the prevailing philosophy in much of English football.

That goes even beyond the Premier League, down to lower levels.

You'll see the goalkeeper passing out from the back.

It sometimes alarms some fans watching.

It's quite a risky style of play.

But that is what Pep Guardiola has brought into English football.

And it makes him such a significant figure.

Well, it's difficult to assess him in a way because there are caveats that people will apply to him.

There, of course, has been enormous spending at Manchester City over the course of the decade, well over a billion pounds.
