As a London-born sports journalist with Jamaican roots and a passion for human-centered storytelling, I’ve watched Manchester City transform from group-stage dominance into something far more intense—a true knockout tournament. With their wins over Wydad AC, Al Ain, and Juventus, this isn’t just progression—it’s evolution. I’ve seen it in the early-morning light at Camping World Stadium: not just tactics, but identity. This is football as art.
