'Who had a better season than Bernardo?' - Guardiola questions lack of Man City players in FIFA's The Best shortlist

The English champions have been left out of the shortlist for the annual award, much to the coach's shock and disappointment

Pep Guardiola was shocked to find out that no Manchester City players were included in the list of candidates to win FIFA's The Best award this year.

City became the first team for a decade to win back-to-back Premier League titles last season before going on to complete an unprecedented domestic treble.

However, as was the case during his time at Bayern Munich, two-time Champions League winner Guardiola found Europe's top competition to prove elusive once more as eventual runners-up Tottenham prevailed against City on away goals in a thrilling quarter-final.
