A recent refresh through transfer windows has contributed to Manchester City's resurgence as title contenders.

Guardiola celebrated a milestone 1,000th match in management with a win, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland, Nico Gonzalez, and Jeremy Doku, who inflicted Liverpool's fifth defeat in their last six league games.

Dias praised the team's performance, saying, "We live for games like this. There is no higher level than this kind of level."

He also highlighted the team's commitment to teamwork, stating, "The differences of everyone ready to show up and ready to sacrifice for the guy next to him" are key to their success.

Dias acknowledged the team's rebuilding efforts, noting that while new faces have joined, the quality of the team remains consistent.

"Of course, there are new faces because of the ones that left, but that quality stays the same, and we keep on pushing," he said.
