Manchester City’s FA Cup Final win puts them on the cusp of the treble. But is John Stones quietly the reason why Pep Guardiola’s team have ascended to this new level?

I just want you all to know that I really wanted to call this video "Why John Stones is basically Batman" but I thought it would give us incredibly weird search ranking.
John Stones has the stones…
What. a. video.
Simply world class 🏆🙏🏻
Pep didn’t get lucky, he literally made that role and had the sight for how itll work
"We've seen a lot of other teams are doing this".. Yeah it's because they're all copying Pep's tactic.. Zabaleta was the first guy played as an inverted position back in Pep's first season in the premier league but it didn't work well enough and Pep stopped using it until last season with both Cancelo and Walker played inverted position including Zinchenko..
Now both Arteta and Klopp are trying to adapt with inverted tactics and we have seen both Liverpool and Arsenal's full backs are doing so..
Soon we will see more teams adapting Pep's style of play..
I’m genuinely very happy that I finally found someone who thinks exact same what I think on John Stones , I’ve always admired him as a high quality center back and one of the best of all time . But this season he has been phenomenal and I think he is the most underrated player in world football.
The funny thing is 3 years ago. John said pep told him he'll be a good midfielder. John laughed it off as a joke. And now this 😂
It’s crazy how he still has some few years left especially next to Dias and akanji
Finally Stones has become the world class footballer everyone expected he will become when he was young. He is easily the top 10 best footballers in the world right now.
He is very good bt i dont think he is our most important player, rodri is… Bt stones is english so i understand the hype…
Johnny, Johnny Stones
Love Stones. He deserves all the love….he's been thru shyte and come out smelling like roses.
He has been brilliant for about 4 years or so, the only bad thing about him is his habit of picking up injuries
Remember when John Stones was a coty flop 💀💀💀 give it time, always.
the batman of manchester
It's because Guardiola has found a Busquets like in him.
2:54 Harry MaGuire would had create more pressure for the team by passing back to the keeper or just blunder straight off his feet
Been backing General Stones for years now, watching him get better and better. His passing has been very good this year and his rampaging runs really can throw a team and open a lot of areas for teammates to play in. It has been very awesome to see him operate in such a way this season!
100% agree with everything you said 👍
