That would have been unthinkable even a year ago, it was still when Real and Barca come calling you may as well give up.
Even the rags in their pomp accepted that!
Amazing.

he probably chose playing time and a better chance to start over sitting on the bench 90% of the time.

he fancied having a Pep in his step.
“I thought it was the best decision for me and my career. I have come to the Premier League to play with City and under Pep Guardiola, who will play me in the first team, and I am very happy with the decision I took."
"I have had luck to play with [Lionel] Messi a bit but what I want in life is to enjoy my football, play football and be happy. I took the decision. I was fortunate to play in Barcelona, although not much in the first team, and now I am excited about playing at City and I will try to do great things here.”

this is true too. so yeah Pep + playing time.“I thought it was the best decision for me and my career. I have come to the Premier League to play with City and under Pep Guardiola, who will play me in the first team, and I am very happy with the decision I took."

let's no get so delusional as to think that big name players will choose City over Barca yet. Bravo & Nolito both did it for playing time and for Pep. but if either of them would've been a starter at Barca they'd be there. this isn't a bad thing. its not a shame to "lose out" to the best club in the world right now.
