Pep Guardiola named what Gary Nevile on commentary concurred was the 'best bench in history' for their title-winning homecoming against Chelsea at the Etihad on Sunday.
With the club's third consecutive title - a feat only completed by three managers in English football history before - secured ahead of kick-off, the Catalan head coach had the freedom to rotate his squad to face the 12th-placed west London side.
Guardiola made a staggering nine changes to the side that handed Real Madrid a demolition at home in midweek, with only Kyle Walker and Manuel Akanji keeping their places in the starting XI.
