To dominate so well in arguably the world's most demanding league takes more than just talented players and luck. It takes a proper tactical approach. Well, fans at the Etihad would surely be thanking their stars for having Pep Guardiola as their boss.

The brilliance of the former Barcelona manager, who introduced tiki-taka style of football, can't be questioned.

Pep's task never was easy as it looked. Anyone would believe otherwise because of the potential of individual players that the club has right now. But, in fact, it makes his job much more difficult. Whom to play where, how to set up the playing XI; of course with such questions looming over his head, the Citizens boss' task wasn't easy.

At the beginning of the season, Guardiola displayed his tactical prowess by deploying both, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus as his attacking options while the fans and pundits were busy wondering who would be the one among the two to start the game.

With regular squad rotation and changes in formations, Guardiola is making sure each of his players get enough playing time and thus, ensuring the morale of the team is always high.

With such guidance and the other reasons stated in the slideshow, we can surely say that at the moment Manchester City are indeed the strongest side in Europe.
