Manchester City are fighting for a domestic treble this season, and one of the players has been lacing up the gloves in preparation.
Game week 35 was scored as a 10-9 to Arsenal across all three scorecards as the North Londoners took control of the title race once again.
Over recent times, Manchester City have been landing some heavy blows on their title rivals.
A Nico O’Reilly brace at Wembley Stadium saw Manchester City win the first trophy of the season, and the tide has turned since.
Gabriel of Arsenal and Erling Haaland of City have had some heavyweight monster clashes on the pitch in recent times, but it is another star that is capturing the headlines for his boxing skills.
Maverick winger Rayan Cherki has been a revelation this season for Pep Guardiola’s side.
In a team that was previously so unsettled, the Frenchman has become a frequent starter, and has popped up with some important goals.
Pep Guardiola was asked about if anything about Cherki has surprised him this season, the Spaniard stated:
“Yeah, in Instagram right now, he’s making boxing,” Guardiola added.
“That was surprising, I didn’t expect. Have you watched it? No? Go. Top!”
“I will not discuss it with him, he will play every game. Honestly, it’s scary!”
Manchester City will have to be nothing short of perfect for the next few weeks.
The possibilities are incredible, a domestic treble is up for grabs.
Premier League glory has now slipped out of their control after a 3-3 draw on Merseyside to Everton.
Will it be Arsenal who land the knockout blow, or will Cherki and Man City make the remarkable comeback?
