Clock This: Another Historic Year
In 2023/24, Pep Guardiola’s team made history as the first to clinch four consecutive Premier League titles, narrowly edging Arsenal by two points in May. That same season, Rodri (27) was crowned the Ballon d’Or winner after dominating domestically and leading Spain to Euro glory.
Yes, City have hit a rough patch lately, but let’s not forget—the achievements of 2024 have set a new benchmark.
The Inside Gist: The Nominees
Here’s where things get spicy. Four names have been shortlisted for this prestigious fan-voted award. Who stands out for you?
Rodri
Let’s be real—he’s the GOAT right now. After orchestrating City’s midfield during their fourth title win and being named Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament, Rodri’s importance has only been magnified since his injury. Even off the pitch, his influence towers over the team.
Phil Foden
Foden (24) has that dawg in him. Remember when City needed a win against West Ham on the final day? Foden came through with a screamer to lock in the title. He’s taken on the Kevin De Bruyne (33) role, delivering iconic goals against Manchester United and Real Madrid. A Premier League and PFA Player of the Year to boot, Foden keeps proving why he’s one of a kind.
Erling Haaland
Haaland (24) doesn’t need awards to prove his dominance, but we’d be fools to overlook his 33 goals in 37 games this year. He was key in moments like the title-clinching double against Spurs. His 2023 debut season overshadowed him, but trust, this guy’s still a goal-scoring cyborg.
Josko Gvardiol
If Rodri’s the midfield maestro, Gvardiol (22) is the defensive dynamo. Signed for £77m, he’s been a revelation at left-back—not even his natural position. His attacking contributions, including clutch goals against Fulham and Real Madrid, combined with rock-solid defense, have made him a fan favorite already.
Keep in Mind: Your Vote Matters
These four have all delivered in their own ways. Rodri’s consistency, Foden’s flair, Haaland’s ruthlessness, and Gvardiol’s versatility make this one of the toughest decisions for fans in years.
