Celebrate Ilkay Gundogan's birthday by rewatching his recent episode of the Official Man City Podcast...

An icon of Pep Guardiola‘s side and a serial winner, the German sits down to speak with our hosts George Kelsey and Nedum Onuoha.

Gundogan was Guardiola‘s first signing at the Etihad Stadium and went on to play 304 times in his first spell as we conquered England and Europe, lifting an incredible 14 trophies on the way.

Not only that, but the former German international became Club captain in the summer of 2022 upon Fernandinho’s departure and led the side through the most magnificent campaign this historic Club has ever experienced.

While wearing the armband, Gundogan lifted the Treble haul of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - even scoring both City goals in an unforgettable FA Cup final victory over Manchester United.

The midfielder moved to Barcelona after that campaign but made the move back to Manchester just 12 months later and has immediately returned to the forefront of the manager’s plans.

A hard-working but stylish player on the pitch, Gundogan has developed a reputation throughout his career as one of the game’s deep thinkers and a man capable of articulating his thoughts on the sport we love.

In this episode, he delves into his journey to City via Borussia Dortmund, his experiences learning from the game’s leading managers and his life away from the pitch.
