Cherki, the new boss of Manchester City

Manchester City has found its new conductor
Rayan Cherki continues to set England alight. In just a few months, the young Frenchman has established himself as one of Manchester City's breakout stars. Coming on late in the match against Borussia Dortmund, he once again made his mark by scoring his first Champions League goal, confirming his meteoric rise under Pep Guardiola.
At just 22 years old, Cherki is posting numbers worthy of a seasoned pro: 4 goals and 4 assists in 390 minutes of play, which means a decisive contribution every 49 minutes. His vision, spontaneity, and boldness make him a unique player, capable of turning a game on its head with a flash of brilliance. Even his teammates can no longer hide their admiration.
"Rayan has an extraordinary quality, he fears nothing," admitted Jérémy Doku after the match, highlighting that rare fearlessness that sets him apart.
This resurgence couldn't come at a better time. On the eve of the announcement of the final France squad list for 2025, Didier Deschamps might be tempted to recall the young attacking midfielder, especially as Ousmane Dembélé's injury has left a gap up front. In a squad searching for creativity, Cherki embodies the modern profile capable of breaking lines and bringing an unpredictable spark to the French attack.
