Manchester City are front runners for the Premier League and FA Cup titles, with the former set to be their fourth consecutive top-flight league trophy if they can hold off their title rivals.
And off-the-pitch, City manager Pep Guardiola and his star players were seen in an interesting and catchy new commercial for Etihad Airways.
The recently released video features star players like Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Ederson, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Nathan Ake and Erling Haaland.

The video showcases Abu Dhabi’s new Zayed International Airport, which is the home and hub of Etihad Airways.
The commercial follows an Emirati boy, an ardent football fan who adores Man City, as he moves through the world-class airport with his father. He is watching a video of Guardiola talking about how football must be fun when he spots the Man City players and Guardiola himself walking through the airport.
The boy ends up knocking down a pyramid of footballs showcased at the airport despite one of the City players asking him not to. What follows is a sweeping video that takes us through a glittering airport with City players rallying to retrieve the footballs that have cascaded all over the airport.
Much like how they sweep opponents off their feet with stunning control and mesmerising moves, City players go on to build the pyramid back up again with the retrieved balls, some with the help of passersby and even Etihad Airways staff.
Poetically, it is Man City’s star striker Haaland who gets the final ball and essays his finishing touch on the pyramid. Right on time for the team’s Etihad Airways flight to Manchester.
