Celebrating the club's first ever flutter in the Champions League semi-final, Dan Leydon was enlisted by Manchester City to create a series of comic book-inspired gifs that capture their journey into the last four.

This series of illustrations captures the moments of magic that sent Manchester City on two giant steps closer to Champions League glory. Overcoming Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-final with set of hard fought, battling performances, the club has every reason to celebrate, especially having just held the titanic Real Madrid to a draw in the semi-final first leg too.

The work of Dan Leydon is something to be championed and it's a delight to see the club working with someone who has the ability to deliver illustrations with such charm. These tell the story as a comic book would while the players head on a route of dream-like reality. The curtain coming down on the football season, it's going to be one almighty finish.
