La Liga
The return of Ilkay Gündogan to Manchester City marks a turning point in the Premier League, once again solidifying Pep Guardiola's club as the possessor of the best midfield in the world. After a season at FC Barcelona, the German midfielder is back with the Citizens, and his presence renews hopes of success in the most challenging competitions. With Gündogan back, Manchester City not only regains a player of immense quality but also reaffirms its dominance in the heart of the field, a crucial area for any team aspiring to greatness.
The array of options Guardiola has in the midfield is simply enviable. With Rodri and Mateo Kovacic as midfielders, and a range of interior options including Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Gündogan himself, Matheus Nunes and Phil Foden, Manchester City possesses a wealth of talent that few clubs can match. In their debut this season, City has already shown its ability to dominate in the Premier League, defeating Chelsea 2-0, despite Rodri's absence, who is unquestionably one of the team's pillars. Kovacic, De Bruyne, and Silva formed a midfield that worked perfectly, showcasing the team's flexibility and depth.

Pep Guardiola has more options than Carlo Ancelotti
On a global level, few teams can rival Manchester City's midfield. Real Madrid, with its mix of young talents and seasoned veterans like Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Luka Modric, and Dani Ceballos, is one of the few clubs that can compare. Paris Saint-Germain also boasts an interesting blend of talents like Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves, and Fabián Ruiz, but even they are overshadowed by the constellation of stars Guardiola can deploy every matchday.
Gündogan brings to Manchester City not only his experience and versatility but also a unique ability to influence different aspects of the game, from ball control to creating opportunities and finishing in the opponent's area. His return, more than a reinforcement, is a statement of intent: City does not settle for past success and aims to establish itself as the best team in the world this season, both in the Premier League and in the Champions League.
