The 2021/22 season was a massive success for Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's side had just won their third Premier League title in the last four years and were looking to retain their crown for just the second time.
After acquiring the British-record £100 million signing of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, they began their campaign full of hope and optimism.

It was a season much different to the one prior, but the Blues did end up pipping title rivals, Liverpool to the title on a dramatic final day.
City were 2-0 down with 15 minutes to go and on the brink of throwing away their crown, but a brace from Ilkay Gundogan - sandwiched between Rodri's long range strike - in the space of five minutes, swung the title back to East Manchester.
Throughout such a dramatic season, City had behind the scenes camera's documenting every single detail of the season and are now releasing that footage in a new series.

In the first episode, there was a big focus on Grealish's signing and some passionate pre-match team-talks from Ruben Dias, so supporters were waiting in anticipation for the second instalment.
Released on Wednesday afternoon, episode two focusses on City's Champions League group stage travels and a fantastic Derby day display against Manchester United.
In that particular game, Bernardo Silva's brace guided the Blues to a vital victory, but their dominance of possession was the big headline.
A midfield three of Rodri, Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne kept the ball moving with a steady but progressive tempo.

City were 2-0 in-front at half-time and - in the documentary - Guardiola was keen to point out to his side that passing around the United team was the key in the second-half.
The players carried out their managers plan to perfection and came away from Old Trafford with the three points.

In the team bus after the game, one scene showed Phil Foden and Cole Palmer in discussion about the game.
When talking about his Spanish teammate, Rodri, Foden turned around and said: "Rodrigo: A Xavi and Iniesta mixture... Iniesta's dribbling, Xavi's passing."
High praise from the 22-year-old, but it was certainly not without merit.

The defensive midfielder has transformed into one of the most combative players in Europe and will want to continue his momentum into the upcoming season.
His performances throughout the campaign earned him immense praise from fans and pundits alike.
