A new fly-on-the-wall Manchester City documentary takes a swipe at near neighbours' Manchester United's "park-the-bus" tactics and offers unprecedented access to Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions.
All Or Nothing, the Amazon Prime series that tracks City's glorious 2017/18 campaign, premiered in Manchester on Wednesday night at the Printworks cinema.
In the first of eight episodes, viewers witnessed in-depth interviews with Guardiola, Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne, who arrived to the screening on crutches after injuring his knee in training.
City became the first team ever to win 14 successive English top-flight games when they triumphed 2-1 at Old Trafford last December.
After that game, Guardiola can be seen lavishing praise on his side.
"You killed them while playing football and even in the bad moments you were there, guys," he says.
"You were outstanding. We travelled there to our neighbours and showed what we are. And you did it, guys, that’s why you deserve all my respect. It’s all in our hands. Only Manchester City can lose the Premier League right now.".
Before the game, narrator Ben Kingsley is heard to say: "It is Guardiola versus Mourinho once more; possession versus defence; attacking football versus ‘park-the-bus’."
An ugly brawl broke out in the tunnel after that game, though no footage of that incident is shown in the documentary. The entire series will be released on Friday.
