League, Cup, Champions League! Manchester City cleaned up everything last season. Right in the middle as the undisputed fixture and at the origin of the winning goal in the Champions League final against Inter: the Swiss Manuel Akanji.
Because it sounds so unbelievable, his short, mega-successful story with the Citizens again: committed a year ago on the last day of the transfer window, after weeks in the stands at Borussia Dortmund, the Winterthurer hits the ground. Although only used during the season and apparently as a backup, only Rodri, Ederson, Haaland and Gundogan got more game time at City last season!
The question for the Citizens, who are fed from Abu Dhabi, is: Who can seriously challenge the star ensemble in the new season? Instead of the usual suspects Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United, a team could take the place of fallen rivals Liverpool, where Fabian Schär is also a Swiss player who sets the pace in defence: Newcastle United.
Owned by a Saudi Arabian consortium for two years, the “Magpies” are unofficially the richest club in the world. But instead of spending the money mindlessly on superstars like their Qatari counterpart Paris Saint-Germain, they are executing a plan in Newcastle. And it pays off: with a fairly unknown team, Schär and Co. broke ground. through the phalanx of the “Big Six” – and secured a starting place in the group stage of the Champions League with fourth place.
By the way: Akanji is ahead of Schär in the national team. The latter only plays second fiddle in the plans of coach Murat Yakin – behind the regular duo Akanji and Nico Elvedi. Does that also apply to the new Premier League season – in the Swiss sheikh duel for the throne in the best league in the world?
