By the time City hope to be in the FIFA Club World Cup final on July 13 2025, they could have played 75 games over the campaign, taking them all over England and Europe, as well as an intense month in the United States next summer.
Pep Guardiola could even be bidding farewell to City after the Club World Cup - his contract up at the end of June - and the coming season could be the most intense yet. There is an expanded Champions League, a Premier League fixture list that will test every bit of his experience and three other cups to try and win along the way.
So what Guardiola desperately needs is a squad capable of navigating 70 games plus if needed.
