Mateo Kovacic Returns
Mateo Kovacic is the latest guest in the hot seat on the Official Man City Podcast…
The Croatian midfielder joins hosts Sam Cox and FG as he returns for his second appearance on the podcast.
Kovacic starts with a look back at his arrival in the summer of 2023 and what it was like joining a City team that had just landed the Treble.
And he explains what it is like walking into a dressing room full of superstars having also done so at former clubs Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
In an incredible career, the 30-year-old has won the Champions League four times, La Liga and the Premier League as well as playing in a World Cup.
But he also explains that he often focuses on the negatives of his game rather than looking back at his phenomenal achievements.
And in another fascinating and wide-ranging chat, Mateo also talks about how the dynamic in the changing rooms has evolved over the years, scoring spectacular goals and some of the great players he’s shared the pitch with.

The Rebecca Knaak Episode
Rebecca Knaak is the next guest in the hot seat on the Official Man City Podcast…
A January arrival from Rosengard, the centre-back has seamlessly settled into life at the Club with commanding displays and heroic rearguard action.
She has made eight appearances for Nick Cushing’s side in all competitions in total -scoring and assisting once – before an injury kept her on the sidelines across March.
And in the latest instalment of the podcast, she joins hosts George Kelsey and Nedum Onuoha to discuss a variety of topics.
Knaak begins by detailing her start to life at the Joie Stadium, who’s helped her settle and what she’s had to adjust to in England.
She then discusses the highs and lows of the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium where she netted her first goal for the Blues in the narrow defeat to Marc Skinner’s side.
Her instrumental role in us reaching the League Cup final is also high on the agenda and she reveals her feelings on a penalty decision given against her in the semi-final victory over Arsenal.
Not only does Knaak speak about those subjects, but she also talks senior Germany debut, the city of Manchester and her sports psychology PhD studies.

The Most Viral Moment in City History? | Niall Quinn
We're bringing you an exclusive, unedited interview from our CityStories series, only on City+.
We're going back to 1991 when a red card for goalkeeper Tony Coton meant striker Niall Quinn was forced to take his place.
Up against Derby County who were on the brink of relegation, fan favourite Quinn had already scored an exquisite left-footed volley to give us the lead.
However, Derby’s Dean Saunders was soon through on goal before Coton was deemed to have brought him down.
With our No.1 given his marching orders and no substitute goalkeeper, Quinn took Coton’s shirt and gloves.
The Ireland international’s first duty between the sticks was to face up to the resulting penalty. Incredibly, he saved the shot at full stretch to turn it behind for a corner.
It inspired us to a victory on the day and even went some way to earning Quinn the Player of the Year award for that season!
We sat with Niall to look back at this incredible moment, his time at The Club and hear his goalkeeping experience before going between the sticks for City.
