A magnificent goal or unbelievable save are hard to beat, but a tackle that wins the ball cleanly comes pretty close.
The rush that fans feel when what looked like a dangerous attack for the opposition is snuffed out is often matched by a puff of the chest from the defender who said no.
That’s why this compilation of City’s greatest (fair) tackles is not to be missed.
There’s all the usual suspects - Vincent Kompnay, Nigel de Jong, Fernandinho - as well as the likes of Elliot Anderson and Rúben Dias from our current squad.
But you’ll also find some strikers and goalkeepers lurking in there, putting it all on the line for City.

‘Christmas, Together’ 2026
Manchester City has launched its ‘Christmas Together’ campaign for 2026.
At the heart of this year’s campaign is a festive fundraising initiative featuring Christmas cards co-designed by Manchester City men’s and women’s players and local schoolchildren, bringing them together to create unique designs and share festive messages with loved ones.
The designs created during filming have then been transformed into a collection of physical Christmas cards, with support from graduates of Manchester School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, giving fans the opportunity to share their own City Christmas messages with friends and family.
The Christmas cards are available to purchase both online and in all Manchester City UK stores, priced at £6 for a pack of six – with all proceeds made from the sale of the card packs donated tp City in the Community, as part of its ongoing support for the charity’s 40th anniversary this season.
Fans are also able to send Christmas e-cards through Cityzens.
