Alex Aljoe is joined by Aymeric Laporte, who opens up about his bizarre first 24 hours at Manchester City and how Pep Guardiola’s tactical genius shaped him into a key part of the iconic ‘Centurions’ team. He reflects on the influence of club legends like Sergio Agüero, David Silva, and Vincent Kompany, and what it was really like being part of that golden era.

Laporte also delves into his decision to switch national teams, the reaction from critics, and how it felt to lift the European Championship trophy with Spain’s exciting new generation of stars.

  1. What a player for City,remember his first game,him playing left back,solid defender. And the carabao goal vs spurs,wanted to see more of him and Dias,would have been magnificent.

  2. Loved Laporte at City. He came in at a time when our defence needed leadership and a major shake up. Glad to see Alex again missed her on the podcast. Great one guys.

  3. Class player for City. Outside of getting injured at crucial moments, he was a top top player. Amazing LCB, great composure and ball playing ability with the nastiness and fearlessness to make important tackles. Exactly the type of player I like.
