About
Dias is an influential leader with an insatiable love for the game and an intense hunger to win. His presence has contributed to sealing a watertight defense, which conceded the fewest Premier League goals and won the Carabao Cup for the fourth straight season.
In 2021/22, Dias once again shone, often filling in as the team’s captain in Fernandinho’s absence.
He missed a number of weeks in the second half of the season due to muscular injuries, but with 40 starts, he significantly contributed to City’s successful Premier League title defence.
Dias was a member of the Portugal team that made it to the 2022 World Cup quarterfinals after an impressive start to the 2022–23 season.
Dias has appeared in almost all of Man City’s Premier League games and has proven to be an essential element of City’s 10-game winning streak that helped them win the league title for a third straight year.
