This week’s episode reflects on Ruben Dias' insightful comments following the Southampton game, emphasizing the tactical adaptations needed to deal with the lowest of blocks.

"It's frustrating. Every point matters right now until the end, and it's frustrating to play a team like them. They don't even try to play."

Pep Guardiola confirmed that Ruben Dias will be absent for at least three weeks due to a muscular injury sustained during the Manchester derby. Despite returning from a calf injury, Dias played in the match where he felt discomfort. Guardiola expressed concern about the extent of the injury, noting its impact on the team's defensive lineup. The center-back's absence adds pressure on City as they try to improve their form after a disappointing run.

Ruben Dias emphasized that Rodri deserves the Ballon d'Or, stating, "Not one... many in a row. He won the Euros, which is not found in every generation. Without a doubt, a special player."
