Manchester City look like Arsenal's Invincibles but Pep Guardiola’s Champions League dream could prevent them from matching our feat

  • Manchester City are developing an aura and are winning games in the tunnel
  • Arsenal were similar in late 1990s and early 2000s. Opponents were in awe
  • Pep Guardiola may struggle to fight on all fronts unless he keeps key players fit

Manchester City have the greatest chance of emulating Arsenal’s Invincibles of 2003-2004. 

They are wiping the floor with the rest of the Premier League, but Pep Guardiola’s quest for greatness in Europe could prevent City from matching our feat.

City are certainly developing an invincible aura. They are winning matches in the tunnel.

Every emphatic victory adds a layer of superiority that causes opponents to melt when they line up before a game.


I experienced that same feeling in the tunnel as part of the Arsenal teams in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Your opponents are in awe of you, while you feel that anything is possible.

In our unbeaten league season, we were knocked out in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

City rode their luck against Napoli last week. To fight on all fronts, you have to keep key players fit. How would City cope without Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in midfield?

What City are doing now is breathtaking. They have the calibre to become the next Invincibles, but there is still a long race to be run.

City are certainly developing an invincible aura just like Arsenal sides have done in the past
