The impact of Pep Guardiola's team talks on Manchester City's Treble success last season has been revealed in a new Netflix documentary.
Guardiola managed to inspire City to glory, while the documentary also provides an insight into how he questioned his players during difficult moments.
Throughout the season, leading up to the Champions League final success against Inter Milan, Guardiola used his team talks to get the best out of his side.
Here's a look at five of Guardiola's most notable team talks from last season.
The Netflix documentary Together: Treble winners is available to stream from 8am on April 2.

MAN CITY 2-1 FULHAM

Joao Cancelo would start just three more games for City after a straight card on 26 minutes for barging over Harry Wilson inside the box. Julian Alvarez had given the champions a lead but Cancelo’s sending off allowed Andreas Pereira to equalise from the spot.
A man light, City were superb on the day and snatched victory late on with an Erling Haaland penalty. Guardiola was visibly moved afterwards and almost reduced to tears when addressing the team.
‘How many years together, guys?’ he said. ‘This stadium was filled with so much emotion. I love you so much but guys... it's not for the victory itself, you know that? It's how we play for 70 minutes, 10 against 11.
‘It might be one of the happiest days I have here because this is the reason why we are here, the emotion.’
But he added a warning following Cancelo’s incident: ‘For the Champions League, learn from this. We cannot make the mistakes, it’s impossible. Impossible.’
It’s fair to say they took heed. And did so without the Portuguese full back, who left for Bayern Munich two months later.
