Former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne admits he's a big fan of Ruben Dias.
The Portuguese centre-half has been impeccable since signing from Benfica last September, becoming a defensive rock in City's stellar campaign to date.
“Bringing Dias into the team has changed everything," said Dunne who skippered City for several seasons, told the club's website.
“The leadership and the confidence that he spreads has changed the outlook - he to me is the big difference.
“In terms of a mentality, we now believe we won't concede, there's very few individual errors.
“Dias gets people organised and in a defensive shape, certainly for the big games you need someone like that who can control the backline.
“What he's done this season has been outstanding. We talk about the glory and beautiful football but what he's given us as a defender has been outstanding."
