Phil Foden has been instrumental in Manchester City’s achievement of a double, while Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw has contributed to the success by scoring 21 goals in 18 Women’s Super League matches. Both the men’s and women’s teams are currently leading their respective league tables. Foden’s exceptional performance has garnered praise, with his versatility and effectiveness on the pitch being highlighted. The hope is that he can carry this form into the Euros this summer.

Despite Shaw’s significant impact in the WSL, her season has been marred by an injury. Nevertheless, her contribution has been vital in City’s pursuit of the WSL title.
