City’s long-range specialists in action

While City is renowned for their slick passing play, which creates a multitude of scoring opportunities, they also possess the ability to unleash powerful, long-range strikes that leave opponents bewildered. This was particularly crucial in games where defenses sat deep, making it difficult to find a way through.

“Sometimes a strike from distance is what’s required to find the route to goal.”

Phil Foden, the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year, was a master of scoring from distance, with memorable efforts against Manchester United, Aston Villa, and West Ham United. Rodrigo, too, has a knack for scoring from 20 yards, as seen in his goals against Burnley and Sheffield United.

Erling Haaland, the Golden Boot winner, also showcased his prowess from distance, scoring two stunning goals against Brighton and Sheffield United. Other notable mentions include Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, and Julian Alvarez, who all contributed to City’s impressive goal tally.
