Impact Even though Gvardiol primarily played left-back instead of center-back so Manchester City's team could use Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji as its primary central defenders, the 22-year-old made his position change work. He finished his first Premier League season with four goals, 32 tackles won, 27 interceptions, 26 clearances and 18 chances created across 28 appearances (26 starts). After helping Manchester City win silverware, Gvardiol will aim at doing the same for Croatia, whose 2022 World Cup campaign saw him break out and earn his eventual move to Man City.
