Questions were raised in the summer as to whether Pep Guardiola can get his Manchester City players up for the fight again and Sunday's victory at Bramall Lane was the answer.
Manchester City are three for three in the Premier League this season but were just a few minutes from dropping their first points of the season against Sheffield United on Sunday.
Erling Haaland scored in the end, but his muted celebrations after powering in a header suggested he was not happy to have waited that long. He looked to have won it, until Jayden Bogle levelled with five minutes of normal time left.Questions have been raised all summer as to how City would react to winning the treble last season, and it is somewhat understandable, given the lack of evidence. Manchester United are the only other team to have done it in England.
"The coach said we are fighting against us. We are the problem, not the opponent. We tried to put the same commitment and desire in again, because it is not easy to repeat." Instead, City picked themselves off the floor and came out swinging, Rodri landing the knockout blow with a rifled half-volley into the top corner three minutes later. Motivation was certainly not the issue.
They can make history again this time, hoping to become the first English side to win four consecutive top-flight titles. They can also achieve the unthinkable quadruple.
