Key information about Manchester City

Is it possible to imagine modern football without Manchester City? One of the most powerful teams in the world, which sets the pace not only in England, but also on the international stage. Founded in 1880, the club was originally called St. Mark's, but already in 1894 received a name that is now thundering around the world.

The home arena is the legendary Etihad, which has become a place for spectacles that make fans go crazy. But the path to success was not as simple as it might seem at first glance.

Man City: the history of the club

It all started with a small team that performed at the amateur level. No one at that time could have thought that one day this club would become a European giant. In 1937, the team won the first championship title, but a year later it was relegated to the second division.

The following decades were like a see-saw: sometimes successes, sometimes failures. In 1998 the team ended up in the third division - it seemed like it was the end. But in 2008 a real revolution took place: the club got new owners. Big construction has begun.

Culmination? 2016, when Pep Guardiola took over. What this coach did with the team is hard to describe in words. He changed the very essence of the game and now opponents know that playing against City is like running a marathon with weights on your feet.

Man City: Etihad Stadium

If anyone thinks that a stadium is just a place where football is played, let them visit Etihad. The arena, designed for 53 thousand seats, creates such an atmosphere that even the most experienced football players feel the pressure.

It is interesting that initially the stadium was built for the Olympic Games, but as a result it became the home of the \"townsmen\". Its uniqueness is in the little things: perfect lawn, unbelievable lighting, maximum visibility from anywhere.
