Manchester City's quest to win the Champions League resumes this week with a homecoming for three of their most consistent players this season in a trip to Sporting Lisbon.

Brentford’s Danish defender Mads Roerslev shoots the ball past Manchester City’s Portuguese defender Joao Cancelo and Manchester City’s Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Brentford at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on February 9, 2022. //

Cancelo made just one Portuguese league appearance before the first step on a journey that at 27 has already taken him to Spain, Italy and England when he moved to Valencia in 2014. Signed for £60 million — a world record fee for a full-back — from Juventus in 2019, Cancelo struggled to beat out Kyle Walker for a place as Guardiola’s preferred right-back.“He can use both legs perfectly,” said Guardiola. “When one player arrives from another culture, he needs time to adapt, even myself needed time. The way we wanted to play, he needed time.

But the Champions League has continued to prove elusive despite the billions poured in by the club’s Abu Dhabi owners over the past decade. “Joao was our best winger,” said Guardiola after last week’s 2-0 win over Brentford. “To dribble past three and shoot, our wingers couldn’t do it. He’s in incredibly top form.”
