The heart-warming and the joyous... What's caught our attention on the world wide web this week?

Manchester, la la la

What a sight!

To celebrate our third Premier League title win, three billboards outside Manchester, Missouri were adorned with the three years of glory – 2012, 2014 and 2018!

The ‘Show Me State’ living up to its name...

Sterling work

Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick of assists in the 4-1 victory at West Ham ensured the list of top Premier League assist-makers is occupied solely by City players.

Kevin De Bruyne – unsurprisingly – leads the way with 15, followed by Leroy Sane (12), while David Silva and Sterling both boast 11.

Incredible stats.

Debut delight

It’s always a special moment for both Club and player when a youngster makes his first-team Premier League debut.

Lukas Nmecha was the latest Academy graduate to make the step up to the senior squad in the league, introduced from the bench in City’s win at West Ham.

Well done, Lukas!

Academy aces

Following on from our unprecedented Development League Cup and Girls FA Youth Cup successes, City’s women’s Development Squad have now lifted the league title with a sensational triumph at Durham.

Poppy Pattinson (2), Maria Figuerido, Julia Spetsmark, Jess Park and Serena Fletcher were on the scoresheet in a 6-1 win.

Congratulations to all!

Paoloooooooo!

An absolute golazo!

Take a bow Paolo Fernandes, who netted this worldie in NAC Breda’s 3-0 victory over Heerenveen.

Watch and enjoy…

Cast in concrete

A blast from the past.

Many thanks to @live_love_mcfc for sharing this amazing shot of City players training outside Maine Road – on concrete no less!

Magnificent milestone

Huge congratulations to the legendary David Villa, who scored his 400th career goal with a first-half penalty for New York City FC against FC Dallas.

The spot-kick heralded his 341st club goal, while his tally of 59 international strikes is a record for Spain.

The outstanding achievement was celebrated in true New York style!

Childhood dreams

All together now… Awwwwwwwww!

We love this throwback snap of Bernardo Silva, clutching his ball sat underneath a kids’ goal.

Pictorial proof that dreams can come true!
