The illustration of John Stones in the Hatters edition pays tribute to the creative talents of our soccer school CITC participants who submitted their drawings of City star players, with a selection of these visuals used on our social media channels and Matchday Live show throughout this afternoon.
In the publication itself, we have a main interview with Ruben Dias.
One of our captains for the 2023/24 season, Dias discusses the campaign to date, the need to focus on the here and now and the ‘special bond’ in the squad which has enabled City to do ‘brilliant things together’.
He also discusses the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and why that’s important to him as well as the passionate ambition he has to win more honours with City.
Check out his thoughts in full in the Hatters edition of the programme, which is out now ahead of this afternoon’s 15:00 (UK) kick-off.
