What a week. Manchester City have lifted the FA Cup to make it a domestic cup double, but a draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday also ended their hopes of lifting the Premier League title... while the news also broke this week that Pep Guardiola will call time on his career at the Etihad at the end of the season.
David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from the Manchester Evening News, Simon Bajkowski to try and make sense of all the emotions that we're feeling. Both the victory over Chelsea and the stalemate on the south coast can only be viewed through the prism of the last days of the Guardiola era, with similar thoughts looking ahead to this Sunday's match with Aston Villa.
What will life look like after Pep? We hear from Barcelona fan Manu and Bayern Munich fan Felipe as they explain what happened to their clubs after Guardiola stepped down. And why is Enzo Maresca the club's choice of successor? We discuss it all.
