The former Borussia Dortmund superstar who recently extended his multimillion dollar contract with Nike in March 2023, could be wearing a new pair with another number in what could be the title-deciding game against Chelsea.

It was business as usual for Pep Guardiola’s men when they traveled to the blue side of Merseyside to play Everton in their week 35 encounter.
Despite resting four players that featured in the Champions League first semi final draw against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, Pep rested four players and it did not seem to be a problem for the Citizens.
In-form midfielder Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring with a touch of class before Halaand made it 2-0 in the 39 minute.
City wrapped up the game with Gundogan netting the third goal that gave the defending champions a four-point lead after rivals Arsenal were beaten 3-0 by Brighton at the Emirates.
